Who is jesus presentation

This lesson does not deny
God the Father or God the
Holy Spirit or make Them to
be any less significant in any
way.

It is presented, however, to
stir up your minds and hearts
to study and to appreciate
and be on fire for Jesus.

There are many thoughts and
notions about Jesus.

There are many beliefs and
misconceptions about Jesus.

There are many references to Jesus
outside the Bible.
Josephus (37-101 AD)
Thallus (52 AD)
Tacitus (56-120 AD)
Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD)
Seutonius (69-140 AD)
Mara Bar-Serapion (70 AD)
Phlegon (80-140 AD)
Lucian of Samosata (115-200 AD)
Celsus (175 AD)
The Jewish Talmud (400-700 AD)
The Qur'an (610-632 AD)
The Toledot (1000 AD)

1. Is Jesus merely a Good Man?
Many people think Jesus is just a good man.
The Bible and other references teach us Jesus
went about doing good.
Acts 10:38 (You know of) Jesus of
Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy
Spirit and with power, and (how) He went about
doing good, and healing all who were oppressed
by the devil...

If Jesus is just a good man, then by the things
He said, He is a liar.

John 14:6 “ I am the way, and the truth and the
life; no one comes to the Father but through
me.”

John 8:55-56 “and you have not come to know
Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not
know Him, I shall be a liar like you, but I do know
Him, and keep His word....”
1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not
sinned, we make Him a liar. And His word is not
in us...
Heb. 6:18 ...it is impossible for God to lie...
We know He is not a liar.

2. Is Jesus merely a prophet?

Those who proclaimed God's word by
inspiration were prophets.
Heb. 1:1-2 God, after He spoke long ago to
the fathers in the prophets in many ways, in
these last days has spoken to us in (His) Son...

Even Islam acknowledges Jesus is a prophet.
The Qur’an

2. Is Jesus merely a prophet?
The Samaritan woman at the well.
John 4:19 The woman said to Him, “Sir”, “I
perceive that You are a prophet...”

On the day of Pentecost, Peter quotes from
Deut. 18:19.
Acts 3:22 “Moses said, THE LORD GOD
SHALL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET
LIKE ME FROM YOUR BRETHREN...”

3. Is Jesus a little or sub-god?
The Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus is a
created being.
Aid to Bible Understanding p. 918

They also believe Jesus is Michael the
Archangel.
Aid to Bible Understanding p. 1152

They believe He is not God. Not Deity.
The Word-Who Is He? p. 40

4. Who Then is Jesus?

Col. 1:16 For by Him all things were created,
(both) in the heavens and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers
or authorities – all things have been created by
Him and

for Him.

Gen. 1:1- In the beginning, God created...and
God said...and God said...and God said...(the
Creator and the Word of God)

John 1:1-3; 14 In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. He was in the beginning with
God. All things came into being by Him, and
apart from Him nothing came into being that has
come into being. v.14 And the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us... (the Word of God
becomes Jesus)

God the Father calls Him God, Lord, Son, and
Creator.
Heb. 1:5-11 For to which of the angels did He
ever say, “ THOU ART MY SON, TODAY I
HAVE BEGOTTEN THEE?” Ps. 2:7 and again, “I
WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM, AND HE SHALL
BE A SON ME?” 2 Sam. 7:14 v. 8 But of the
Son (He Says), “THY THRONE, OH GOD, IS
FOREVER AND EVER.” Ps. 45:6 v. 10-11
and, “THOU, LORD IN THE BEGINNING DIDST
LAY THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND
THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF THY
HANDS. THEY WILL PERISH, BUT THOU
REMAINEST...” Ps. 45:7; 102:25-26

5. Jesus is the God of the Old Testament
Jesus is the Creator.
Gen. 1:1- In the beginning God created...and God
said...and God said...
John 1:3 All things came into being by Him...
Heb. 1:10 “...AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE
WORKS OF THY HANDS...” Ps. 102:25
Rev. 3:14 (Jesus speaking to John) “And to the
angel of the church in Ladodicea write: The
Amen, the faithful and true Witness, The
Beginning *lit. source or origin* of the creation
of God, says this...”

When God speaks it is the Word of God.
The Word of God is Jesus
John 1:1; Rev. 19:11-13
Talking to Adam, Eve and the serpent in the
garden.
Gen. 3:8-24 Then the LORD God called to the
man, and said to him, “Where are you?”...
v. 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were
naked?”...
v. 13 Then the LORD God said to the woman,...
v. 14 And the LORD God said to the serpent,...
v. 16 To the woman He said,...
v. 17 Then to Adam He said,...


He is the God of Abram at the covenant of
circumcision.
Gen. 17:1 Now when Abram was ninety-nine
years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and
said, “I am God Almighty: Walk before Me and
be blameless...”

He is Abraham's guest before the destruction of
Sodom and Gomorrah.
Gen. 18:1-; 19:1- Now the LORD appeared to
him by the Oaks of Mamre while he was sitting at
the tent door... v. 2 and he lifted up his eyes, and
looked, behold three men were standing opposite
him; and when he saw (them), he ran from the
tent door to meet them, and he bowed himself to
the earth... v. 17 And the LORD said, “Shall I hide
from Abraham what I am about to do...?
v. 33 And as soon as He had finished speaking
to Abraham the LORD departed. Ch. 19:1 Now
the two angels came to Sodom in the morning...

Talking to Moses in the burning bush.
Ex. 3:14-15 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO
I AM”, and He said, “thus you shall say to the
sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.” And
God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall
say to the sons of Israel, 'The LORD, the God of
your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of
Issac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to
you. This is My name forever, and this is My
memorial-name to all generations.”


He speaks to Job.
Job 38 to 41 The the LORD answered Job out of
the whirlwind and said, “Who is this that darkens
council by words without knowledge?...
v. 4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation
of the earth...”
and He goes on to tell Job of all the creation in
the next chapters.

He is the One who protects Shadrach, Meshach
and Abed-nego in the fiery furnace.
Dan. 3:24-25 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king
was astonished and stood up in haste; he
responded and said to his high officials, “Was it
not three men we cast bound into the midst of the
fire?” They answered him and said to the
king, “Certainly, O king.” He answered and
said, “Look! I see four men loosed (and) walking
(about) in the midst of the fire without harm, and
the appearance of the fourth is like a son of (the)
gods. Ref. Jer. 1:8, 19; 15:21 I am with you to
deliver you.

6. Jesus is the God of the New Testament
Jesus' birth foretold to Mary.
Luke 1:30-35 v. 31-35 “And behold, you will
conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you
shall name Him Jesus. He will be great, and will
be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord
God will give Him the throne of His father David;
and He will reign over the house of Jacob
forever; and His kingdom will have no end.”
v. 35 “... and for that reason the holy offspring
shall be called the Son of God.”

Again the Samaritan woman at the well.
Remember she called Him a prophet earlier in
the lesson?
John 4:25-26 The woman said to Him, “I know
that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ);
when that One comes, He will declare all things
to us.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am
(he).”

Healing the lame man on the Sabbath.
John 5:18 For this cause the Jews were seeking
all the more to kill Him, because He not only was
breaking the Sabbath, but was also calling God
His own Father,

making Himself equal with God.

After the episode with the adulterous woman
when He was speaking to the Jews.
John 8:1-, 18, 23-24, 57-58 v. 18 “I am He who
bears witness of Myself, and the Father bears
witness of Me.”
v. 23-24 “You are from below, I am from above;
you are of this world, I am not of this world. I said
therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for
unless you believe that I am (He), you shall die in
your sins.”
v. 57-58 The Jews therefore said to Him, “You are
not yet fifty years old, and have You seen
Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say
to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”

When Jesus is before Caiaphas at His trial.
Matt. 26:63-64; Mark 14:61-62; Luke 22:67-70
But Jesus kept silent, and the high priest said to
Him, “I adjure You by the living God, that You tell
us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
Jesus said to him, “You have said it (yourself);
nevertheless, I tell you, hereafter you shall see
THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF POWER,... Ps. 110:1 The LORD says
to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand...” “and COMING
IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.” Dan. 7:13

After the resurrection speaking to Thomas.
John 20:27-28 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach
here your finger, and see My hands, and reach
here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not
unbelieving, but believing.” Thomas answered
and said to Him,

“My Lord and my God!”

Before Jesus' ascension to heaven.
Matt. 28:18 And Jesus came up and spoke to
them, saying,

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and
on earth...”

At the stoning of Stephen.
Acts 7:56, 59 v. 56 and he said, “Behold I see the
heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing
at the right hand of God.”
v. 59 and they went on stoning Stephen as he
called upon (the Lord) and said, “Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit.”

Saul on the road to Damascus.
Acts 9:1-6 v. 4 and he fell to the ground, and
heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are
you persecuting Me?”
v. 5 And he said, “Who art thou, Lord?” And He
(said), “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting...”

7. Jesus is the God of all time and eternity
Gen. 1 He is the Creator

Phil. 2:6-8 Who, although He existed in the form
of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to
be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking on the
form of a bond-servant, (and) being made in the
likeness of men, and being found in appearance
as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming
obedient to the point of death, even death on a
cross.

7. Jesus is the God of all time and eternity
Again John 8:58 “Truly, truly, I say to you, before
Abraham was born, I am.”

Rev. 22:13 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

Jesus is God!

Jesus is the God of
the Old and New
Testaments!

Jesus is the God of
all time and
eternity!
