“Who is This Man?” In the article, speculation and scholarship were mixed together from a variety of people about who exactly Jesus was. Some said He was just a man; others said a prophet; and Christians said He’s God Himself. But in all the speculation about Jesus, some basic facts are almost universally accepted. For example, almost everyone agrees He was a Jewish carpenter who lived at the beginning of the first century in Nazareth. He was the son of Mary and Joseph, taught unconventional ideas about God, was crucified on a Roman cross, and was believed by many to have risen from the dead. Yet, we, as Christians, go further. Not only was He a carpenter in the physical sense, but also in the metaphysical sense. The Son of God didn’t just make tables and boxes. The Bible says all things are made by Him. Jesus wasn’t just a son; He was the Son. He wasn’t just crucified; He died for sinners. He wasn’t just believed to have risen from the dead; He’s alive today! Jesus is easily one of the most revered people in all of history. He was a man… but He was also much more: God. And thanks to His life, His death, and His resurrection, we can have life too. Thank God for sending Christ for you!
