Who was Jesus?
You may have seen the image of Jesus crucified on the wall or heard about Jesus from someone. But do you really know who Jesus is, as everyone calls the Lord? What do you think of the Lord Jesus? Who was he Any great, An avatar? God himself? Or just the originator of Christianity?
Hello, my name is Sukumar and today I am going to share my thoughts about Jesus through my writing which has completely changed in the last few years. At one time, I also thought that Jesus was just a normal person and nothing but a promoter of Christianity. But over the past few years, my ideas have completely changed.

Then who is Jesus? Who is he ?
Almost all kinds of people have asked this question since the time of Jesus. In his early experience of experiencing him, Jesus' own disciples were wondered and asked, "Who is this that even the wind and the sea obey him?" (Mark 4: 41)
The religious leaders of his day have raised the question "Who is this that blasphemeth God? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" (Luke 5:21)
And at the end of his three-and-a-half-year campaign, we read, "When Jesus entered Jerusalem, all the city was crowded, and everyone began to ask, 'Who is this?'" (Matthew 21: 10).
The correct answer to this question makes a big difference in life. The Bible was written so that people could answer that question themselves. Let's look at a few facts from the Bible and try to find the answer to this question:
Matthew 16: 13-17
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
John 4: 6-18
Then Jesus sat down on the side of the well, and he was tired. At six o'clock in the afternoon. A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink." Because his disciples had gone to the city to buy food. The woman of Samaria said, "How do you, being a Jew, ask me for a drink of water?" I am a Samaritan woman. Because the Jews were not used with the Samaritans.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who is saying unto thee, Give me water to drink, thou shalt ask of him, and he shall give thee living water. And the woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. But where did that living water come from? Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us this well, and he drank it himself and his sons, and his livestock drank.
Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst; But the water that I will give him will be in his heart a stream of water that will vanish into everlasting life.
John 4: 24-26
The spirit of god And those who serve him must worship in spirit and in truth. The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When he comes, he will tell us about everything.
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
Mark 14: 61-64
But he remained silent, giving no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" Jesus said, I am he; And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the power and coming with the clouds of heaven.
Even though Jesus was born as a man, events such as being born in his virgin birth, giving life to the dead, healing eyes to the blind, healing the leper, and healing the paralysis prove that he was God and the Messiah. Read what happened when Jesus told the Jewish leaders that he had seen Abraham,:
"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it, and rejoiced. The Jews therefore said to him," You are not yet fifty years old; have you seen Abraham?
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (John 8: 56-58).
John 10: 20-28
At that time the Temple was established in Jerusalem; Then winter; And Jesus was walking in Solomon's porch in the synagogue. Then the Jews surrounded him and said, "How long do you keep our souls shaking?" If you are the Christ, make it clear to us. Jesus answered, I told you, and you do not believe. All the works I do in my Father's name bear witness concerning me.But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 3: 10-18
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
The truth is, I tell you, we speak what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; And you do not accept our testimony. If you do not believe when I speak of earthly things, how can you believe when I speak of heavenly things? And no one in heaven has risen; Only the one who has come down from heaven is the Son of Man, who lives in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the Son of Man must be exalted, so that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him cannot be judged; He that believeth not is condemned, because he hath not believed in the name of the Son of God.
There is no doubt that the above events prove the divinity of Jesus.
CS Lewis, a renowned professor at Cambridge University, once said that no one can be a great teacher, even if he says the kind of things Jesus said about being a normal person. He is either a madman or a devil in hell.
You have to make your own decision. Either "this man" is the Son of God; Or something crazy or worse. You can avoid calling him a fool or you can call him Lord and God at his feet. "
The decision is yours
