Who Is Jesus?

Have you ever wondered “Who Is Jesus?” I mean to YOU, personally? I wrote a blog about it at https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/who-is-jesus

I asked myself “Who Is Jesus Christ?” in 2014, and I took my answer seriously. On October 19th, 2014 I was baptized in front of 3,000 people sharing my breakthrough regarding “Who Is Jesus To Me?"

Who Is Jesus In The Bible?

 

Where can we turn for the real answer about who is Jesus Christ? The Bible provides us with all the answers. But! Only your personal walk with Christ can reveal who Jesus is to you personally. I’ll elaborate on this topic later.

So, who is Jesus in the Bible?

 

 

Jesus is Man

 

Jesus was born, just like you and I were born, meaning delivered out of our mama’s uterus. Think about this as you ponder what happened on the cross.

 

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in in the inn.

Luke 2:7

 

Jesus grew, just like you and I grew from being little to being big, meaning at first He didn’t know how to walk and talk and He needed His mama 24/7. Just try to comprehend this truth as you consider what Jesus endured to gift you and me the freedom from sin.

 

And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.

Luke 2:40

 

Jesus got tired, just like you and I get weary. Imagine that He felt all the feelings we feel today. Then, think about what happened on the cross…

 

Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

John 4:6

 

Jesus knew temptations, just like you and I feel various temptations from innocent ones, like binge-watching Netflix, over-eating, or getting angry, to severe temptations, like sex additions, drug addictions, gambling, or being violent (I’m not saying His temptations were any of what I just listed or that He handled them the same way we do, I’m only saying He felt tempted).

 

… and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan.

Mark 1:13

 

Jesus wept. Whenever you cry or feel deep sorrow, whenever you experience grief or go through heartache, remember that Jesus also wept. I got married in 2016, and my husband immediately filed for divorce saying he wanted to be an IronMan and compete in Kona. My girlfriends used to hold me in their arms as I wept from sorrow. Though at first, I thought my weeping was too much because I’m strong, I did allow myself to process all that grief as I was going through it because I knew that Jesus wept, too.

 

Jesus wept.

John 11:35

 

Jesus was rejected. Whenever you are rejected and your friends turn away from you, betray you, or stonewall you, think about this:

 

From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

John 6:66

 

Jesus experienced bullying. It’s unthinkable because we tend to believe bullies just popped out of social media in the 21st century, but it’s not true. I was bullied in Russia by the members of my very own family. If you ever have to endure bullying or humiliation, think about this experience Jesus endured, just so you know He can relate. He Himself was bullied, mocked, and humiliated.

 

Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.

Mark 15:19

 

Jesus felt abandonment and loneliness. Whenever you feel lonely, consider the depth of the abandonment Christ experienced after everything He had done for His people. Consider it not to diminish your own feelings of loneliness but to help you understand that Jesus can relate because He felt the same thing.

 

About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lemasabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)

Matthew 27:46

 

Jesus died. If you ever had a family member pass away and saw what death looks like, know that Jesus endured not only the same death we face but worse – He suffered before He died. He suffered for you and me.

 

And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said: “Surely this man was the Son of God!”

Mark 15:39

Jesus is God

 

Jesus was fully God. He talked about this truth openly but some people of His generation didn’t believe it, though they did see His miracles.

 

³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

³¹ Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, ³² but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

³³ “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

John 10:30-33

 

Jesus declared in His prayer for all believers that He was one with God.

 

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, ²¹ that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

John 17:21

 

Above all else, here’s the clear statement in the Bible, which is God-breathed Word, telling us that Jesus was God.

 

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

John 1:18

 

 

Jesus is Lord

 

Jesus was called “Lord” after He was crucified. The meaning of the word “lord” assigns a certain level of respect and power to whoever is called so.

 

Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.

Acts 2:36

 

Jesus was also addressed as “Lord” during His life as a man on earth by those who respected and honored Him and believed in His miracles.

 

A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Matthew 8:2

 

The lordship of Jesus is linked directly to His resurrection and our salvation after His death as a human.

 

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9

 

 

Jesus is Savior

 

Jesus came on earth to save you and me from our sins and the burdens of our guilt and shame. Jesus is the reason why we have the gift of God’s forgiveness today.

 

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

1 Timothy 1:15

 

Jesus was promised by God to His people as a savior. The covenant was fulfilled when Jesus died on the cross.

 

From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised

Acts 13:23

 

Jesus was announced as a savior to the world before His actual birth.

 

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.

Matthew 1:21

 

 

Jesus is Redeemer

 

Jesus redeemed you and me at a high price. When you win an iTunes gift card, you can go to the iTunes store, add a song to your cart, type in the gift card code, and click “redeem” button. What that means is someone placed value onto that gift card, which can be used by you to buy something of value. You are of value. Jesus’ life was of value. He surrendered the value of His life to buy you back (redeem you) from sin so you can have your valuable life as a free human being. Redemption means this: when we were slaves to sin, Jesus sacrificed His precious life to buy us back from sin.

 

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.

Ephesians 1:7

 

 

Jesus is Deliverer

 

The word “deliverer” in Hebrew means “to cause to escape. Jesus causes us to escape our temptations, sin, and the destiny of facing God’s wrath. Jesus delivers us from our captivity and slavery to sin by sacrificing His life to provide us with the way to escape and live free. Paul wrote about it in his letter to Philippians, explaining deliverance through the Spirit of Christ:

 

¹⁸ But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, ¹⁹ for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.^[a] 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

Philippians 1:18-20

 

 

Jesus is Lamb

 

In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices are found all throughout. These blood offerings acted as a temporary covering for sin. The purpose of animal sacrifice and offerings was sanctification, righteousness (right standing with God), and forgiveness. Jesus became the lamb of God to cover our sins forever and to secure our right standing with God. This truth appears at John 1:29, where John the Baptist sees Jesus and exclaims, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

 

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

John 1:29

 

The meaning of Jesus being the lamb of God is also explained in Revelation 17:14 where we get to hear His other names, as well:

 

They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings — and with him will be his called, chosen, and faithful followers.

Revelation 17:14

 

 

Jesus is King

 

“Christ the King” – that’s how Jesus is often referred to, implying the concept of the Kingdom of God where Christ is described as seated at the right hand of God, and you are seated there with Him in heavenly places (more on that later when we talk about Spiritual Warfare, or you can find my YouTube videos about it if you’re curious, or leave comments below). Jesus called Himself “king” very openly, as we can see from this conversation:

 

“You are a king, then!” said Pilate.

Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

John 18:37

 

The final book of the New Testament, aka the final book of the Bible, often called “Revelation to John,” describes Jesus as King and Lord stating that it was written about Him as His very name:

 

On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Revelation 19:16

 

 

Jesus is Teacher

 

Jesus taught His people how to live, aka the Gospel, the good news.

 

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

Matthew 4:23

 

Jesus taught every time He spoke. He had the heart of a teacher and taught His disciples every time He opened His mouth. We can see how it’s described by His followers:

 

He opened His mouth and began to teach them

Matthew 5:2

 

Jesus taught even when He wanted to rest or eat or be quiet. People longed for His teachings and followed Him everywhere He went.

 

³⁰ The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. ³¹ Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” ³² So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. ³³ But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. ³⁴ When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

Mark 6:34

 

Jesus also teaches us to follow His teachings today and to avoid being influenced by any other philosophies of living:

 

⁹ Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. ¹¹ Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.

2 John 9

 

 

Jesus is Light

 

Jesus called Himself “the light of the world” helping us understand that we must live according to His teachings in order for us to have peace, joy, and salvation.

 

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

John 8:12

 

Jesus shared that He was the light while He was in the world, but it doesn’t mean just physically. While we share His teachings, His light shines.

 

“While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

John 9:5

 

Jesus became the light to the world so that we don’t have to remain in the darkness not knowing who we are, or how to live, or what to do with ourselves, or how to treat others, or how to deal with pain and suffering.

 

I have come as Light into the world so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

John 12:46

 

Jesus enlightened His followers. If you ever think that enlightened people are metaphysical, know that being enlightened is Biblical and means you experienced the light of Jesus Christ and His teachings. Understanding and experiencing the Gospel of truth is the substance of such enlightenment.

 

There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

John 1:9

 

 

Jesus is Mediator

 

Jesus is the one and only capable mediator to help us be in the right standing with God. You can’t pay God to forgive your sins. You can’t hire an attorney to talk God out of being angry with your sin. You can’t bribe God. Nothing you can do but give your life to Jesus Christ genuinely and wholeheartedly. Then, God sees you through the blood of Jesus as perfect, righteous, pure, and holy. No other mediator can do that for you.

 

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

1 Timothy 2:5-6

 

A mediator is also called an advocate. Jesus is our advocate. He advocates for us whenever we seek God’s forgiveness.

 

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. ² He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 2:1-2

 

 

Jesus is Authority

 

Jesus is the only authority, both in Heaven and on earth. Don’t take me wrong: you surely must obey your local speed limit law established by the Government, and the reason is that Jesus, the ultimate authority, commands that you submit to the Government authorities.

 

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Matthew 28:18

 

 

Jesus is Leader

 

Jesus invited people to follow Him. We aren’t talking here about clicking an Instagram “follow” button and moving on with your day. We’re talking about His invitation for people to leave everything behind and physically follow Him everywhere He went. Jesus was a bold leader as a man on earth.

 

But the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’

Amos 7:15

 

Jesus encouraged people to go with Him and learn the new way of living, to hear the Gospel, the good news, and to abide in His truth. He invited His followers to learn from Him and share hope with others.

 

And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Matthew 4:19

 

Jesus called upon those people whom He chose as His followers, He chose them specifically, regardless of whether or not they were considered “good” by the standards of society.

 

As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.

Matthew 9:9

 

Jesus was the kind of leader who demanded devotion to Himself. He called people to deny themselves, abandon their old ways, quit their lifestyle, and commit themselves to abiding in His teachings.

 

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Matthew 16:24

 

 

Jesus is Prophet

 

Jesus was a genuine proclaimer of the will of God. That is the very definition of a prophet. People who heard Jesus’ teachings recognized and acknowledged that He was a prophet:

 

And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

Matthew 21:11

 

 

Jesus is Messiah 

 

Jesus was a leader and savior of a particular group and cause. The people were us, and the cause was our eternity in heaven. That’s the definition of the Messiah who was expected to tell people all things (and He did). Jesus Himself stated that He was the Messiah people expected:

 

²⁵ The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.” ²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”

John 4:25-26

 

Jesus was recognized and acknowledged as the Messiah by those who believed in Him, His miracles, and His teachings:

 

“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

John 11:27

 

 

Jesus is Friend

 

Jesus tells us everything. Have you noticed how any answer you ever need is already right there in the Bible? The teachings of Jesus considered all aspects of being and living. What a friend we have in Jesus!

 

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

John 15:15

 

 

Jesus is Hope

 

Jesus told us what will be in our future – an eternity in heaven. He gave us the things we can hope for and He asked us to hope.

 

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.^[a]The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

John 4:13-14

 

Salvation and an eternity with Jesus are not the only things He promised. We can also hope in His steadfast (unwavering, unconditional) love:

 

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love

Psalm 33:18

 

Jesus is our hope for love, an eternity in heaven, and also redemption:

 

O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.

Psalm 130:7

 

We hope in Christ because of the promises He gave us. That’s the foundation of faith. Believing is key to hope, and hope is key to faith. We wait for this world to get better, for us to get better, we hope for a better future, we hope in Him.

 

I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.

Isaiah 8:17

 

 

Jesus is Peace

 

Jesus Christ is the one and only source of peace. Let’s be honest: sometimes it’s hard to even fall asleep at night because our anxieties and fears are lurking around stealing peace. But Christ gives us peace that passes all understanding, as long as we have faith and focus on gratitude.

 

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Colossians 3:15

 

Jesus’ peace actually guards our hearts and minds. Without His protection, we would go crazy thinking about what if this and what if that.

 

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7

 

 

Jesus is Love

 

Jesus is not only the source of love. He Himself is love for us from God. You shall never wonder: “Does God Love Me?” because the evidence of His love is Jesus, so God’s love must always be declared in present tense without a doubt. It’s been proven.

 

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

 

Jesus is proof of God’s unconditional love. Growing up in Russia, I remember being told to check 1,000,000 boxes before God would love me. It was taught to me that I was unworthy and bad. It’s a false idea. God loves me unconditionally already, and the proof of His love is Jesus. Never can I do anything for God to earn His love. He loves me and is in a relationship with me already. I can’t perform anything to earn love from God. It’s a gift.

 

but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

 

 

Jesus is Word

 

Jesus is referred to as “Logos,” or “Word,” meaning He Himself is wisdom personified, the source of life and truth, and the very communication between God and humanity.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14

 

 

Jesus is Truth

 

Jesus declared that He Himself is the truth, not only the teacher of the truth and not only filled with truth.

 

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 14-6

 

 

Jesus is Wisdom

 

Jesus Christ is our wisdom and not just the source of wisdom. He teaches us wisdom. He teaches us to be wise and to walk with the wise. But that’s not all. If you gave your life to Jesus, you know how, when you pray for wisdom, God’s infinite intelligence is poured over you. You just get the wisdom you didn’t have before you prayed. With it comes peace, and that’s how you discern God’s wisdom. It’s because Christ is in you and you are in Him and He Himself is wisdom.

 

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption

1 Corinthians 1:30

 

 

Jesus is Strength 

 

Jesus is our strength. In Him, we are strong. I used to live in my own power and didn’t work out. Now I draw my strength from Christ and I love my life.

 

fear not, for I am with you;
    be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

 

People throughout the Bible recognized and acknowledged that the only sources of lasting strength is Jesus Christ, our lord and savior:

 

The Lord is my strength and my song,
    and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

Exodus 15:2

 

We are encouraged to be strong in the lord. His might is our strength. He conquered even death itself. He is almighty.

 

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

Ephesians 6:10

 

We are commanded to count on Jesus’ strength and be courageous:

 

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.

Deuteronomy 31:6

 

 

Jesus is Life

 

Jesus is life. He gives us new life when we are born again and practice His way of living. And He gives us eternal life. I want to also mention that though I personally appeared to be alive and have a life before I met Jesus, I was actually dead. I’ll share my story with you here later, but just keep this in mind: we are not talking about life as it appears to be in the physical realm. After I prayed to Christ to open up my eyes to the things unseen, I started noticing dead people everywhere, though they are walking and talking and wearing makeup and are dressed up nicely, they laugh and workout but they are completely dead as there’s no life in them. Jesus gives life. He is life.

 

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die

John 11:25

 

 

Jesus is Rock

 

Jesus is our rock, the strong foundation, something solid to hold on to, something that won’t let us down and will hold us, and for many, He is the rock found when hitting the rock bottom. That’s my story. I’ll share it later.

 

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 18:2

 

Jesus is God and compared to other rocks in the Bible and declared to be the most solid rock:

 

There is no one holy like the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock like our God.

1 Samuel 2:2

 

 

Jesus is Vine 

 

Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. This is the most critical truth to understand if you want to live the life of joy, peace, and productivity. If you value your mental health and sanity, this is the most important thing of all:

 

15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. ² He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes^[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. ³ You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. ⁴ Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

⁵ “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷ If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸ This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. ¹⁷ This is my command: Love each other.

John 15

 

 

Jesus is Helper

 

Jesus is our helper. He is on our side, that’s why we are never alone.

 

The Lord is with me; he is my helper.
    I look in triumph on my enemies.

Psalm 118:7

 

How exactly does Jesus help us? David described this in detail:

 

A Psalm of David.
¹ The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
²     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
³     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
⁴ Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,^[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
⁵ You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Psalm 23

 

 

Jesus is Healer

 

Jesus is our healer. He performed many healing miracles on earth as a human man, and even touching His robe healed The Bleeding Woman:

 

Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

⁴⁹ While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

⁵⁰ Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

Luke 8:48-50

 

Jesus heals us physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Here’s another example of physical, visible healing, and I have my own personal examples to share with you here later.

 

“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Mark 10:52

 

Jesus heals us today. The healing power of the resurrected Jesus works in our lives and performs miracles all over the earth right now. He healed me.

 

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53:5

 

 

Jesus is “I Am”

 

Jesus referred to Himself as “I Am” many times, implying that He was the eternal God incarnate. Jesus was equating Himself with the “I Am” title God gave Himself in Exodus 3:14.

 

⁵³ Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”

⁵⁴ Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. ⁵⁵ Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word. ⁵⁶ Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”

⁵⁷ “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”⁵⁸ “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 

John 8:53-58

 

 

Jesus is The Way

 

Jesus is the way, and He is the only way. There’s no other way to heaven.

 

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 14:6

 

And here’s what it means that Jesus is the way described in great detail:

 

For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. ⁴ But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, ⁵ he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, ⁷ so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:3-7
