ESSENTIAL #2 Who Is Jesus?

John 1: 1-18

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:1-18&version=NIV

Jesus Christ is undoubtedly the most widely debated human figure of ALL time. Jesus' claims were extrodinary and the claims of His followers are as equal. In the 1st chapter of the Gospel of John, God the Holy Spirit inspired John to pen several descriptive titles about HIM such as:

The Word.

The Creator of all Things.

The Origin of Life.

The Light of Men.

The True Light.

The Owner of All Things.

The Giver of Rights.

The Glory of God.

Grace and Truth.

GOD.

That's 10 straightforward ways of saying... JESUS IS GOD.

But just as Jesus asked Peter in Matt 16:15 we too must answer the most important question of our lives, Who do you say that JESUS is?

"You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is,the Son of God,: or else a madman or something worse …. You can shut him up for fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great humanteacher. He has not left that option open to us. He did not intend to." - C.S. Lewis
