What Do You Think of Jesus?
What do you believe concerning Jesus Christ? Who was he? From whence did he come? What are our obligations to him? These questions must be answered before we can truly say we have faith in anything he promised or has done on our behalf.
As we look about us, we cannot ignore the various religions that exit. Some follow different men entirely: Abraham, Moses, Mohammad, or Buddah. Others follow others who profess to follow Jesus, but have their own revelations: Ellen G. White, Mary Baker Eddy, Joseph Smith, or Charles Russell. So, like it or not, we are brought to the reality that the investigating of claims, religiously, is a necessary part of our service to God. Jesus warned his disciples, saying, “Take heed that no man lead you astray. For many shall come in my name saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray” (Matthew 24:4-5). This concept was also stated by the apostle Peter, when he said, “But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction” (2 Peter 2:1). As a result of these admonitions, we can well understand the admonition of the apostle John, when he said, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
Believing that God is and is the Creator of all things believing that the Bible is the word of God, and believing that Satan, through his devices has caused mankind to sin, it is imperative that we understand who Jesus of Nazareth is, and what he has provided. Have you taken the time to get acquainted with Jesus of Nazareth through a knowledge of the scriptures?
Concerning Jesus, He said, “All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:27-30). Ross Triplett, Sr.
