Jesus is the Christ!

Many reject Jesus as the chosen one, some call him a prophet, others doubt his very existence. But a few call him the Christ. Christ is simply a term meaning the anointed or chosen one. In John 8 many of the Jews rejected him as the chosen one questioning the validity of his claims. Jesus responded by saying that his testimony of himself is true because God also testifies of him being the Christ. This is exemplified all throughout the Old Testament,and the New. in fact about 351 prophecies Jesus fulfilled to the smallest of detail.

The claims Jesus made either made him a madman or the true Son of God. I could go through all 351 examples of the Bible referring to the Christ but I want to spend this time to focus on one verse that I believe is the solidifying verse that proves Jesus to not just be the Christ but be God in human form. John 8:58. That is the verse that changed the world. "Jesus said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am.". This statement is truly mind blowing. Jesus just claimed to have existed over 1500 years ago, and also described himself with 2 words that were only reserved to be a description of God himself; I am. Let's first discuss the age of Jesus. Jesus's physical body was only about 31 or so years old at this point, but who he actually is has existed forever. In fact in Genesis 1:26  God says concerning creating humans "Let US make mankind, in OUR image, and in OUR likeness." this shows God was not alone during this creation period. The trinity was present at this time and is as timeless as God the father. Jesus was present at creation, in fact he did the creating. John 1:1-4 tells us that Jesus was with God, and was God, all things were made by him and without him nothing was made. So this brings legitimacy to Jesus's claim that he existed before Abraham because he has always existed and created everything. If that wasn't convincing enough to show Jesus is God, look at his second statement about him being the I am. God called himself the I am in Exodus 3:13-15 when Moses expressed worry when the Hebrews would ask who sent him. So Jesus and God both described themselves as the I am, they both have always existed, and they both created everything. Jesus is the Christ, he is the Son of God, and he is God. The trinity is 3 branches of the same tree. If you don't know the Son, you don't know the Father. If you don't know Christ you will never know God. For Jesus Christ is God.
