Do You Really know Jesus ?!! Jesus was the last prophet in Israel. He was called the son of God, an expression that was common use in metaphoric sense in the scripture Nowhere in the Bible Jesus referred to himself as God or implied that he was God. The expression, Lord, was applied to him but it never meant to convey, that he was God. It was used as a synonym for master. Jesus was the son of God !! It is true that in Luke 1:32, he is called the son of the Highest and in 1:35, the son of God; but these expressions in Biblical idiom do not at all connote Divinity or partnership in Divinity. W e read: I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. (Psalms 82:6) In numerous instances the expression son of God is applied to prophets, to the righteous and to believers. for example: Israel is My son, even My first born. (Exodus 4:22) Also I will make him (David) Myfirst born, higher than the kings of the earth. (Psalms 89:27) He (Solomon) shall be My son, and I will be his Father. (1. Chron 22:10) Jesus, was the same with God!!! The distinction between Jesus and God was well understood among the disciples and the early Christians, even Paul himself said: But to us there is but one God, the Father of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all things, and we by him. ( 1 Cor. 8:6) Jesus himself brought out the distinction clearly in attributing divinity to God alone, who was also his God, as for instance: Go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. (John 20:17) But He is the Messiah (Christ) !! The word “Messiah” is froem the Hebrew word “Mashiach” which means “anointed one”. “Ha-Mashiach” means “The Anointed One”. In the Greek, this Hebrew word is literally translated as “Khristos” from which we got the English word “Christ”. So “Christ” exactly means “Messiah” or “Anointed One”. so being a Messiah is a not a proof of divinity or that Jesus was God because God can not be chosen, rather it is Jesus who was chosen by God Many were termed as Messiah in the Bible ,Saul was a messiah, David was a Messiah, Zedekiah was a Messiah.... He died for our sins!! Adam’s sin was his and his alone and God forgave both Adam and Eve when they turned to God in repentance; there is no original sin, every one is born into a state of natural innocence; sin is acquired later by our own conscious and willful actions. Jesus did not died for anybodys sins nor He or anyone else had too to die for YOUR sins Acts 3:19 Therefore, repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be erased Jesus himself said: But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Matthew 9:13 I want to follow Jesus, so Im a Christian !! Jesus said, My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. (John 7:16) Jesus never knew the word Christianity, nor did e called his followers to be called Christians, rather Jesus submitted himself to the will of God and he called them to submit to God but there is no such a religion ! No there is, Islam means submission to God, and it is the religion of all the prophets, Abraham Moses, Jesus Muhammad and all the others I (Jesus) seek not mine own will , but the will of the Father which hath sent me. (John 5:30) Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. (John 4:34) If you really know Jesus, you would be nothing but a Muslim to God
