The Son of God Jesus (Yeshua) is the Son of God, the second person of the trinity. As such, He is equal to God, yet many do not believe that He is the Son of God. No one can explain how three persons can be one because God’s ways are not man’s ways. Isaiah says in his writings, “As the heavens are higher than earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts” (55:9 TLV). Though He was God, He took on human form and lowered Himself to become like a man.
Jesus, the Son of God, came in the flesh. He did not come for His own glory, but to save a world in need. Again, Isaiah prophesied, “For to us a child is born, a son will be given to us, and the government will be upon His shoulder. His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, My Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace” (9:5 TLV). This prophecy and others like it were given 740 years before Jesus was born, yet they were fulfilled perfectly (Douglas 25). Though He was born as a baby, Messiah’s birth was totally different than any other human being; for He was conceived supernaturally through the Ruach ha-Kodesh, or the Holy Spirit. When an angel informed Mary that she would bear the Son of God, Mary was shocked and asked, “How can this be, since I am not intimate with a man?” (Luke 1:34-35 TLV). The angel responded to Mary, “The Ruach ha-Kodesh (Holy Spirit) will come upon you and the power of Elyon (God) will overshadow you” (TLV). Yes, Jesus came to earth as a man, but even from the moment of conception, His life was drastically different than any person who ever existed. Though He was the King of Kings, He came as a servant of all.
As servant of all, Jesus performed many miracles to demonstrate His deity and to prove that what He said was true (Douglas 48). The New Testament talks about many of the miracles Jesus did. In Matthew 8:26, Jesus “rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became totally calm” (TLV). Likewise, Jesus cast demons out of people. “The demons kept begging Him, if you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs. And He told Them, Go! So they came out and went into the pigs” (Matthew 8:31-32 TLV). Messiah cured many people, including the blind, deaf, lepers and diseased. He healed the sick and raised
To start, Jesus was known to be the “good shepherd.” Shepherd was not the wealthiest of roles in society, which adds to why many people believed in him, as he was like the people around him, not a wealthy king which people would then view as fake. Him growing up as a poor man made him alike to other people around him, and having him growing up in the same conditions as others made believing in him more realistic. Also, most of the miracles he performed in his public ministry was done for the good of the poor side of people. For example, he resurrected Lazarus, a close friend of Jesus’ who was also on the lower class side of society. He also healed a blind man of the same class, duplicated bread and fish for a crowd of his own class as
Jesus was the son of God, who was created by God and the second person within the trinity. God is viewed as the father, the son, and the holy spirit, according to the Christian worldview. Jesus was created from God planting a seed in Virgin Mary. Jesus was thus born to spread the word about God and all the gospel. Jesus lived a life as a human as all of us do now. He experienced a lot of things we as human’s experience. Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins where he died on the cross. Jesus is important to the Christian worldview because he is the ultimate reason we are who we are today. “God is both holy and just, so although he created humanity to be immortal, he could not accept them into his holy kingdom in their sinful state (Lecture 5). After Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, this served as redemption and it was then that god allowed them into the
To Christians he is known as Jesus, and was sent to earth by God (John 3: 1-2). Like a mortal he
Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity, the only way of salvation and the second person of the Trinity. (Funk & Wagnalls, 2015) The Gospels Matthew and Luke introduce the birth and childhood of God’s one and only Son, Jesus. His story began when the Angel Gabriel visited His virgin mother, announcing that she would give birth to a son, and that she was to call Him Jesus, for He would be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:30-35) The incarnation of the Messiah, was the Word
Hebrews 1:2-3 says, “But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven” (NIV). In an article in The Christian Crier, author Jack Wellman gives a great description of Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a humble life, spreading the word of the Lord, and died by crucifixion for the sins of all of humanity. “Jesus is referred to as Savior.
Throughout his life, Jesus performed many miracles. Examples of these miracles can be found in the Holy Bible in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). I would have to say that my favorite miracle performed by Jesus would have to be when Jesus fed the four thousand, in Mark 8:1-13. Jesus was surrounded by a large crowd and felt compassion for them. He wanted to provide food for everyone so they would be strong enough to travel back to their homes. They only had seven loaves of bread and a few fish, but after Jesus gave thanks and broke the bread, he told his disciples to pass out the food, and they did. When everyone was finished eating there was seven basketfuls of broken pieces left.
Jesus was declared to be the Mighty God and Everlasting Father long before he was ever conceived in the womb of Mary. The Everlasting Father became the child and son born in the manger. Therefore Jesus truly is Immanuel, God with us. Jesus is Almighty God become a man.
Jesus was born a son of human flesh to a mortal man and woman.This was the birth of
The Gospels describe various miracles, such as raising the dead, casting out devils, healing the sick, calming the waves and winds by command, and other wonderful deeds.
The first thing that one needs to understand is the true meaning of the miracles Jesus performed, even though the Devil does not want us to understand the meaning. He loves when we speculate and question. In the Bible, miracles are often referred to as “signs.” Miracles are acts that only God can be responsible for, usually above and beyond natural laws. Baker’s Dictionary of the Bible defines a miracle as “Synthesizing the root connotations of these terms, we may define a miracle biblically as an observable phenomenon effected by the direct operation of God’s power, an arresting deviation from the ordinary sequences of nature, a deviation calculated to elicit faith-begetting awe, a divine inbreaking which authenticates a revelational
Jesus of Nazareth is believed by Christians to be one of the Holy Trinity, defined as being comprised of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As such, Jesus as the Son, is regarded as
According to the Bible, Jesus is the Son of God, and He happened to be present during creation. In the Old Testament, the prophets prophesied that there would come a time that after a man lost his way God the Father would send a Messiah. In the new testament of the Bible, the four books the gospel talk of the birth, life and ministry of Jesus Christ in Human form. Jesus Christ, the Son of God the Father, took the human form and lived amongst people. Through his death and suffering to save humankind, Christianity came in. Jesus was born of a simple carpenter and forfeited his heavenly glory to come into this world (Sayre,
In the view of His deity, Christ is God. Not only is he Christ, but the Son of God, and called God in the New Testament.
In previous chapters, the real identity of Jesus is unknown- the crowds wonder if he is the Son of David (Matt 12:23), the disciples previously said that he was “the Son of God (Matt 8:29, 14:33) and Jesus himself identifies himself as “the Son of Man” (Matt 10: 23; 2:8; 12:40) and even likening himself to a Prophet (Matt 13:57).
