Jesus is Essential
John 8:57–59: Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
The liberal theologian today teaches that Jesus Christ was a great teacher but that He never really claimed to be God. My friend, listen to this. “Before Abraham was, I am.” Not, I was—I AM. He is the Jehovah, the I AM, God. The Jews understood perfectly. Because they knew precisely what He was claiming, they took up stones to kill Him for blasphemy.
The issue is Jesus Christ. He put these Jews on the spot. They had to make a decision concerning Him. You must make a decision concerning Him. Either He is the Truth or He is a liar. Either He is God and Savior, or He is not. You must decide. Either you accept Him or you reject Him. Remember that your decision does not in any way change who He is. He is the great I AM, Jehovah, the eternal God. Your decision is to accept or deny this. 1
Walking with Jesus
Jesus is God. The Bible is the Word of God. Satan is a real being. Heaven is only for those who believe and receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord. True disciples will live and die for Jesus. Does your life reflect this biblical worldview.
For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.” Luke 20:38
To reject Jesus as God is to forfeit an eternity in heaven with Him.
Praying
Lord, thank You for always being there and never leaving me in my weakest moments.
