Would you deny what Jesus said concerning himself is true Many people today, including many who claim to be Christians, express doubt that Jesus is the Divine Son of God, the Savior of the world. Or they speculate that people may be saved by someone other than Jesus. Since the four gospel accounts of Jesus´ life constitute the only eyewitness record we have of Jesus´ teachings, let us consider what Jesus Himself actually claimed in those records. Matthew 3:17; 17:5 – At Jesus´ baptism and again at the Transfiguration, God the Father personally said regarding Jesus: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 16:13-17 – Jesus said that God the Father had revealed Jesus to be, not just a great prophet, but the Son of the Living God. John 20:28,29 – Thomas addressed Jesus as “my Lord and my God,” then Jesus pronounced a blessing on all who believe the same thing. John 3:13-16 – Jesus claimed that He came down from heaven so that whoever believes in Him can have eternal life. John 14:6 – He said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” That means there is only one way to go to, or get to heaven, because that is where the father is right now, in heaven. Matthew 28:18-20 — He claimed that people of all nations must obey Him, because He possesses all authority in heaven and on earth. Did you get that? If he possesses all authority that means, if he isn’t God then, there is no God. Matthew 25:31-46 — He said that He will come again and will decree the eternal destinies of all people of all nations. Means he will decide what happens to everyone. Only god can do that my friend. John 8:24 – He said that people who do not believe in Him will die in their sins. To deny these claims is to deny that Jesus spoke the truth. Those who would be followers of Jesus must acknowledge His own claims to be true. He { Jesus} doesn’t mince words. He says what means and means what he says. The question is do we believe what he says?
