who is jesus

1. He was pre-existent with the Father.

“The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made."
(John 1:2, 3, KJV). (Also see John 17:5 and Colossians 1:17.)

2. He is the Son of God.

His enemies admitted: “He...said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God” (John 5:18, NKJV).

Peter confessed: “Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (John 6:69, NKJV).

Jesus affirmed: “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30, NIV).

3. He was sinless, as only God can be.

Jesus challenged His enemies: “Which of you convicts Me of sin?” (John 8:46, NKJV).

Peter testified: “...For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
“Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth” (1 Peter 2:21, 22, NKJV).

Paul stated: “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21, NKJV).

4. He forgives sin, as only God can.

The Scribes said: “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” (Mark 2:7, NKJV).

Jesus said: “But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins....” (Matthew 9:6, KJV). (Also see John 8:11.)

Peter wrote: “who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24, NKJV).

5. He performed miraculous works.

He healed the sick: Matthew 8:9-13; Luke 4:31-44; 5:12-15; John 4:43 to 5:16; and other references.
He fed the hungry: John 6; Mark 8.

He raised the dead: Luke 7:11-18; John 11:1-46.
