WE MUST KNOW and BELIEVE IN JESUS WHO IS BOTH DIVINE and HUMAN (John 1:14) ---The Apostles believed in the Son of God our Lord as the Savior.--- The name Jesus means “the Savior,” and the name Christ means “the anointed One.” This means that Jesus fulfilled His role as the Prophet, that He is the King of kings, and, therefore, He also fulfilled the role of the High Priest of the Kingdom of Heaven. First of all, the Old Testament clearly specifies that the Christ to come is God Himself. A representative passage of this is found in Isaiah 9:6, which states, “Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” In addition, our Lord’s own Word bears witness to this truth. To show just a couple of examples, Matthew 5:17 says, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” No one else but the Savior God Himself alone can fulfill the Law. Also, in Matthew 9:6, Jesus said, “But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins.” Paul said in Philippians 2:5-6, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,” and in Colossians 2:9, he said, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Above all, the signs that Jesus performed while on this earth clearly show us that He is God. With only five loaves and two fish, He fed over 5,000 people, not counting women and children. On another occasion, He fed 4,000 people with just 7 loaves and 2 fish. Jesus also brought down winds with His rebuke. He walked on water, and delivered Peter who sank into water. Matthew 11:5 states, “The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up.” All these things cannot be done by mere mortals, but they can be accomplished only by God. As such, Christ is clearly the living God and the Savior.
