His Words

Some say Jesus never said He was the Messiah, the Son of God. Here are a few scriptures written concerning what He said about Himself:

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:25-27 KJV)

He speaks of Himself as being the fulfillment of prophecy, calls Himself the Christ. Oh, yes, this follows His resurrection.

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 16:14-17 KJV)

Peter acknowledges Him as the Christ, son of the living God – and Jesus blesses him for the statement, which Jesus said came from His Father.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6 KJV)

Confirmation from Jesus that He is the way to our Father.

… Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? (Mark 14:61b-63 KJV)

Do we? Need any further witnesses? I think so.

I think we need the witnesses who believe in Him to speak out. Those who follow him to live His love openly. We need to hear from those of us who sought out the living God from the beginning of time to show Him to the world around us.

To hear the words of the Man who gave His reason for coming to us: For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10 KJV)

That was me. Is it you, too?
