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 it from the blows and I ended up on the ground in a fetal position beaten and defeated. I 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 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 as 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 brought back 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. Even though sometimes when we are going through the pain of life's situations we don't always feel His presence. But remember that 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 things to happen to us. We may not understand why, but God has a reason and 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. THIS POWERFUL VIDEO SHOWS WHAT JESUS ENDURED FOR US I highly recommend the following web sites for you to review.

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 guide me and my family wherever we are..He saves us from evil..and I thank him for that.."
