Who is Jesus

I. What Religions Say about Jesus

One may think that because religions like Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism may accept Jesus as a prophet that this validates their religions as acceptable to God but they don't accept Jesus as the exclusive deity He claimed to be. Either Jesus is who He claimed to be or Jesus is a liar or lunatic. If He is a prophet then these religions make Him out to be a false prophet because they do not accept what the Prophet Jesus said about Himself.

II. What Jesus Said About Himself

The expression, “I AM” is the ultimate expression of God. He alone is self existent. Nothing else exists without Him. Jesus repeatedly uses the I AM in referring to Himself;
I am the true vine, I am the living water, I am the good shepherd, I am the bread of life, etc. He has no dependence or interdependence upon others but exists within Himself. This is exclusive deity. And this is what Jesus says about Himself.


III. What the Scripture Says About Jesus

Immanuel is interpreted to mean, “God with us”. Take note that this is the name of an individual and not a reference to God's presence in an omnipresent or pantheistic manner. Its a person who is God in the flesh. Colossians 2 Paul states “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
