Who is Jesus?

If you were to ask several different people this simple question, you might get several different answers:

• A Jewish carpenter…nothing more

• A good moral teacher…nothing more

• A prophet of God…nothing more

• One of many paths to heaven

• God’s only Son and our only Savior

Well, if we are going to be honest, all of these different answers can’t be correct. For example, if one person were to say that Jesus is nothing more than a Jewish carpenter and another person were to say that Jesus is a prophet from God, they both can’t be correct. So, the question remains, “Who is Jesus?” According to the Bible, Jesus’ birth was very special. So special, that an angel announced it: “I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”1

Hmmm, the Bible says that Jesus Christ is a Savior and that He was born … for me. This raises a very important question: Why would I, or anyone else, need a Savior? I used to reject the idea of needing a Savior by thinking, “Hey, I realize that I am not perfect and that I need a little help at times, but, a Savior … do I really need a Savior? It’s not like I’m a bank robber or anything like that. Besides, I try to do my best and I also help other people whenever I can.” Although this might sound nice, the truth is that God doesn’t judge us by these standards—whether we have tried our best or have done more good things in our life than bad things. God’s standard for being acceptable is quite simple—the “10 Commandments.” Let’s take a look at just three of them and see how we are doing.

• “Do not lie”—I’ve lied … I’m guilty … how about you?

• “Do not steal”—I’ve taken things that don’t belong to me … I’m guilty … you?

• “Do not murder”—You may think, as I did, “Since I’ve never killed anyone I am okay with this commandment.” However, since God looks upon our heart, the Bible says that if we have had hateful feelings towards another person we are actually guilty of breaking this commandment. So, I’m guilty again! How about you…have you ever had hateful feelings toward someone … ever?

These are just three Commandments and I am guilty of breaking each of them. When we break Gods laws this is called sin and the truth is, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”2 The news gets worse when the Bible then tells us that “the wages of sin is death.”3 Admittedly, this is not a pretty picture. Since God cannot lie, He can’t wink at our sin and pretend that it doesn’t exist. Furthermore, He must remain true to His word and punish sin. At this point, the God of the Bible—in His great love and unlike traditional “religion”—doesn‘t tell us to work harder in order to earn His forgiveness. In effect, He tells us something quite humbling—that we are unable to help ourselves. He then, however, goes on to tell us something that is tremendously encouraging when He informs us that “[He] demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”4

The Good News of the Bible is that Jesus, Gods Son, lived the sinless life that we couldn’t and then—although He didn’t deserve to die—willingly shed His blood on the Cross so that by His death we might have our sin forgiven. After three days He rose back to life and has the authority to say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”5

Now, listen to God’s gracious invitation: “Yet to all who received [Jesus], to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”6

So, what does it mean to believe in the name of Jesus as your Savior? It means more than knowing some things about Him, attending a church or trying to live a good life. It means that you:

• Admit (confess) to God that you are a sinner

• Humbly admit that you cannot save yourself


Repent (turn) from your sin toward God and ask Him for forgiveness


Trust in Jesus’ sacrificial death on the Cross for your sin and in His being raised back to life

Since God looks upon our heart, the exact words that you use are not important. However, we must believe that on the Cross Jesus was accomplishing something for us that we, no matter how hard we tried, could never accomplish for ourselves. Then, as we place our trust in Him as our risen Savior and Lord, He gives us the peace & strength to live a life that is pleasing to God.

So, how about you … who do you say that Jesus is? If you feel led to call Him your personal Savior please do not delay as the Bible soberly warns us that “it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgement.”7 If you have sincere questions or desire to grow in your faith, please consider taking 15-minutes a day to read a chapter from the New Testament and attend a Bible teaching church.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”8
