Son of God Revealed

The average unsaved person does not believe the real Son of God would leave his home in Heaven and come to earth in order to be killed by lowly men. Can we find any fault with their logic when they say this is not reasonable and common sense says God would never do something like this? Consider this explanation: God, for his own reasons, decides he wants to have an eternal family of people who all have complete faith in him. He creates this situation where the only way to join him is to have faith in the Son that we have killed. 

Paul said that if this plan does not lead to eternal life then people should feel sorry for us. This is the way he said it: And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world. 1 Corinthians 15:19 (NLT). In other words, if the reasoning of man is actually smarter than complete faith in God then Christians have wasted the years that they suffered to serve the Savior. We should be able to see that living by faith is completely different than living like the worldly person. Jesus has become our life. 

Most people know what it means to be born a “blue blood”. Jesus was not simply a poor work class citizen. The Jews have always had the best family records in the world. Mary was from the linage of King David and Joseph was of the linage of King Solomon. These are the two greatest kings that ever lived. Of course they both were children of Abraham who was the father of every person of faith born since. The Bible says: This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham: Matthew 1:1. Jesus is a king.  

Every person has already made a decision to ignore Jesus Christ or to give him their life. It is wise to reconsider our past decisions and make sure of our place in eternity. Maybe this essay will help someone decide if Jesus is for real. One of his disciples wrote this down for us: We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. 1 John 1:1-2. Jesus is life.

History does not deny that 12 men followed the man called Jesus three years and evaluated him every day. Eleven of these men believed in him until they died for his cause. Reality of the Savior will certainly be easy someday when we are living with him in Heaven. However down here in this world it is a deadly problem for all unbelievers. Jesus was happy to give his life for the redemption of some people. The Scripture says: … God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else. Hebrews 1:9. Jesus is joyful.

Jesus went to a wedding when he was about thirty years old. This event proceeded until the host ran out of wine for his guest. Up until this time people knew Jesus as a prophet but had not seen any miracles. The revealing of Jesus had been gradual. As a baby the angel choir sang for people, as a teenager he showed wisdom to the temple leaders, and then the Baptist proclaimed him at the river. Now we see: This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him. John 2:11. Jesus has great power. 

A very important revealing came after men had killed Jesus. This was his resurrection from Death. For two thousand years Satan’s human helpers have been trying to say that Jesus did not come back to life after they killed him. But for 40 days our Savior showed himself to various groups of people who talked with him. The record is clear that Jesus returned from among the dead. Here is one example given by John: This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead. John 21:14. Jesus is alive today. 

Christians have been ordered to fellowship with the Savior. When a Christian lives their life by obeying the instructions of our master, the Spirit in us becomes real. The Scripture tells us: Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us. 1 John 3:24 . Of course this revealing is done for only one at a time. Although only the individual can feel the Spirit, the witness of our godly life can be seen by the people around us. Jesus can live in a human. 

We have seen some of the facts that reveal Jesus to people. What can we do with these facts that will change our eternity? The Bible tells us simply: We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. Romans 3:22. When we set aside our human excuses and believe that Jesus is really our friend and Savior, it becomes very easy. The biggest problem that people face in a relationship with the Savior is our own ego. Jesus will take some of us to live with him in Heaven.
