Who Is Jesus Christ? About 2,000 years ago in Israel a man named Jesus of Nazareth was born. He was either the greatest fraud of history -- or God.
Some say He was just a good man, or a great prophet or teacher. But, if He were a liar -- He certainly was not any of those.
Jesus claimed to be God. That is why the Jewish leaders condemned Him to death -- for blasphemy (Mark 14:61-64). Jesus also claimed to exist even before Abraham, who had died many years before.
JOHN 8:58 NKJ
58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."Jesus was killed -- but came back to life after three days -- and still lives today. Jesus is unique -- no one else has overcome death and continued to live for thousands of years.
ROMANS 1:3-4 NKJ
3 . . . Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead,Before being crucified Jesus said He would rise from death after three days. Because He did rise, surely that means Jesus was all He claimed to be.
Is Jesus Christ of Nazareth really alive? Ask Him!
