Who is Jesus ?

Son of God and SAVIOR:
1 John 1:7, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with
     another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his (God's) Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 4: 9-14, In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed), where we are
     concerned, in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique [Son], into the world
     so that we might live through him.
10. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved and sent His Son to be the
      propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.
     Also Col. . 1:3, 15,19

WAS RESURRECTED:
Matt. 20:19, And deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and whipped and
     crucified, and He will be raised[to life] on the third day.
Romans 4:24-25,
24. But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God]
      will be granted and accredited to us also who believe - trust in, adhere to and rely on- God
      who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25. Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure
      our justification- our acquittal, and to make our account balanced, absolving us from all
      guilt before God.
     Also Matt. 27:50-54,

HAD POWER TO FORGIVE SINS:
Acts 5:31,
31. God exalted Him (Jesus) to His right hand to be Prince and Leader and Savior and Deliver
      and Preserver, in order to grant repentance to Israel and to bestow forgiveness and release
      from sins.
     Also Matt. 9:2-6, Luke 7:47-50,

MEDIATOR:
Romans 6:23,
23. For the wages which sin pays is death; but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life
      through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord.
     Also John 20:31, John 16:23-26

SHEPARD:
Hebrews 13:20-21,
20. Now may the God of Peace - [Who is] the Author and Giver of peace - and Who
      brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepard of the sheep,
      by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement [covenant, testament],
21. Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be, and equip you with
      everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and
      accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, the Messiah; to
      Whom be the glory forever and ever - to the ages of the ages.
     Also 1 Peter 5:4, John 10:11-18

HEALER:
Luke 4:40-41,
40. Now at the setting of the sun [indicating the end of the Sabbath], all those who were sick
      with various diseases brought them to Him, and He laid His hands upon every one of them
      and cured them.
41. And demons even came out of many people, screaming and crying out, You are the
      Son of God! But He rebuked them, and would not permit them to speak, because they
      knew that He was the Christ, the Messiah. Also John 4:46-54, Mark 1:34

WORKER OF MIRACLES:
These are rather long stories from John 2:1-11, Matt. 14:22-33, and John 6: 5-14.

HE IS TO BE WORSHIPPED:
Matt.2:2,
2. Where is He Who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East
    at its rising, and have come to worship Him. Also Matt. 14:32-33, Phil. 2:10

TEACHER:
John 3:2, Who (Nicodemus) came to Jesus at night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know
     and are certain that You are come from God [as] a teacher; for no one can do these
     signs - these wonder works, these miracles, and produce the proofs - that You do, unless
     God is with Him. Also Matt. 4:23, Matt. 7:29.

REWARDER:
Hebrews 11:1-6,
6. But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would
    come near to God must (necessarily) believe that God exists and that He is the Rewarded
    of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him (out).
     Also 1 John 5: 12-13, John 15: 9-16, Romans 8:14-18

JESUS LIVES IN BELIEVERS :
Romans 8: 10-18,
11. And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He
      Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal bodies
      through His Spirit Who dwells in you.

WE ARE TO BE THE PHYSICAL EXAMPLE OF JESUS LIVING THROUGH US:
1 John 4: 17,
17. In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains
      perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment - with
      assurance and boldness to face Him - because as He is (today), so are we in this world.

Who is Jesus?
     He is all of these things and much more to those who believe. You see, the word says in
Romans 10:17, "So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." And now it's time to make a decision.

     Please pray with me now, confessing Christ with your mouth.
Heavenly Father, I pray that you would forgive me of my sins and I forgive all those who have sinned against me. Father I open my heart and invite Jesus into my life, and turn my life over to Him in Love. Fill me with your Spirit, lead and guide me in the path that your would have me to take. Father lead me to a good church where I can be a blessing, and I can be blessed, in Jesus' name I pray, amen.

     For those of you who have really prayed this pray with your heart, Christ says you are a new creature, all of your old sins are wiped away, all things are new in Christ! Congratulations!
And remember, Jesus loves you!
