Who Is Jesus Christ?Who is Jesus Christ? There are many opinions of who Jesus is. All I can do is offer my point of view of who Jesus is to me and why I worship Him. Jesus is love. Jesus is God. It’s as simple as that.
Jesus came to the earth because He loves us. He became a man because He loves us. He died on the cross and rose again because He loves us. The ministry of Jesus Christ can be summarized in one scripture verse: "He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." 1 John 3:8 (NKJ) Jesus is the only begotten son of the living God. He is part of the trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He was born a man, a human being like you and me, yet He never sinned. He experienced emotion. He laughed. He cried. He got angry. He experienced pain and fear. He had compassion for the sick and the oppressed. He loved and forgave those who tortured Him and sentenced Him to die. Jesus was wounded for our crimes; He was bruised for our wickedness. He died on a tree to set us free from our sins, our bondage, our addictions, and our emotional and physical pain. He was put in a tomb and on the third day He rose again. He conquered death, defeated satan and took back the keys to the gates of hell.
Jesus Christ is called the Word. He spoke and the heavens and the earth were created. He gave up His throne in heaven to be born in a stable on earth. In bible prophecy, the birth of Jesus Christ, and His death and resurrection, were foretold hundreds of years before He was born. His fulfillment of these prophecies is indisputable. Let's just say that if Jesus fulfilled only eight prophecies out of the hundreds that were prophesied, the chance would be 1 in 100 trillion! How amazing and exciting is that! (As in bible prophecy, Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 are major prophetic scriptures. They are revealing and uplifting to read in their entirety.) Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! He is the giver of eternal life. He is our healer, our savior, our redeemer, our best friend. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is the King of Hope. He is the King of Honor. He is the King of Glory. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the Beginning and the End. His name is above all names. This is Jesus Christ, the soon coming King! Yes, Jesus Christ is coming again! And He's coming sooner than we think. Will you be ready?

God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.” (John 3:16-21 NLT) TWO IMAGES I was feeling very depressed one day because of certain situations happening in my life at the time. I received an image which showed that I was surrounded by demons who were beating me. I covered my head to protect myself from the blows and I ended up on the ground in a fetal position, beaten and defeated. I then saw Jesus standing to the side simply watching. Of course, this image made me feel even worse. I felt so alone because even my Savior didn't seem to care enough to protect me from the enemy and wasn't doing anything to help me. The next day I was feeling really low again but this time I received a different image. Again I saw myself surrounded by demons who were beating me. Once again I covered my head to protect myself from the blows and I fell to the ground. But this time, Jesus wasn't standing to the side merely watching, He came and knelt beside me and commanded the demons to leave. After the enemy fled, Jesus picked me up in his arms and carried me to a stream. He laid me down gently beside the water, went to the stream and came back with a glass filled with pure living water. As I drank He washed my cuts and bruises from my face and cared for me. This is the real Jesus. This is the Jesus we all know. Satan tried to show me that Jesus doesn't care what happens when the devil attacks. But Jesus loves us and He is always there. He promised us that He would never leave us nor forsake us. Sometimes when we go through the pain of life's situations we don't always feel His presence, but just remember Jesus is right beside you, closer than a brother, closer than your very own breath. I hope the images shown to me will help you if you are having a painful time in your life. God loves us and sometimes He allows bad things to happen to us. Everything happens for a reason. We may not understand why, but God has a purpose for the trials and tribulations in our lives. The scriptures that come to mind are: "As far as I am concerned, God turned into good what you meant for evil." (Genesis 45:20) "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28) So be encouraged and know that Jesus loves you and will never leave you.

Share What The Lord Jesus Christ Has Done For You Teresa writes: "Since I accepted Jesus in my heart as my personal savior, there's so many changes in my life like, how to pray, forgiveness, to love not only to yourself even to your neighbors. And the most important I realised that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. NO one can ever give the kind of love that he's given to us. I believe he is the King of Kings, King of Hope, Prince of peace, the beginning and the end. Only Jesus." Antonio from U.S.A. writes: "There was a time in my life where I had just got saved and had started turning my life over to the Lord. I remember that I was so excited about what was happening in my life. I finally had some sort of real purpose and direction in this world. You see, I always knew that there was a God and I knew that Jesus was the way to true salvation. Since Jesus was the first to point out a real personal connection and spiritual family relationship that we have with God, it was a no-brainer."

Jenneth from the Philippines writes: "Jesus has done many things in my life, there can be no "ME" without him..He always guides me and my family wherever we are..He saves us from evil..and I thank him for that.." John from the United States writes: "To acknowledge the Loving hand of Jesus Christ taking our neighbor "Babe" home last night. This strong Christian woman had a short-term brain cancer that quickly overtook her. In her last hours, she was coherent and spent the evening with her family. They had prayed together and recited Psalm 23. At one point she shouted out, "I see Jesus and he's talking with me. I'm not afraid to go home." She asked her husband to draw close in prayer and he did. She then touched the face of Bill, her son-in-law, telling him that Jesus wants him to be a pastor. The day before, Bill was suddenly told by a co-worker that he should do prison ministry. What an affirmation of God's will for him. Jesus had drawn this family close together in the last year. They went to church as a family and drew even closer in the last 2 months, as Babe prepared to go home. Their lives have been to the glory of our Lord. Romans 8:28...God is so good! Kanika from India writes: "I have peace - and Jesus help me a lot." Pastor Deniel from India writes: "Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I would like to introduce myself and my ministry to you. My name is Pastor Deniel. I was born into an agricultural labourer’s family. Agriculture only is our livelihood. In the year 1997 I accepted the Lord Jesus as my personal Savior and took water baptism. I did not get prosperity in my agriculture while I was an unbeliever. In 1996 there was a great cyclone and all the paddy crop was spoiled. And it was a great loss. I took loans and the debts were many and even I sold our agricultural land and still I could not repay my debts. And hence I decided to take my life by suicide. I was so depressed and cried in the field regarding my life and the future of my family. But at a distance I was listening the megaphone sound of a preacher giving the word of God in a gospel meeting. Numbers 32:23 your sin will give away your life were the words of the preacher. None of your family members or others may not know but your sins will follow you into eternity. As I was listening those words over the loudspeaker I got myself thinking and the desire in the heart to live and do something about my sins was on mind constantly. At that time I called upon the Lord and asked His forgiveness and the peace of the Lord came into my heart. I obeyed his voice and got saved from my sins. God helped me to set my life right in His sight and all my troubles gradually got solved."
