Mention the name “Jesus Christ” and people have a variety of
views, thoughts, and opinions. Essentially this breaks down to the
following five points:
1. Was Jesus a real historical character?
2. Was Jesus a positive moral teacher?
3. Was Jesus crucified and died?
4. Was Jesus raised from the dead?
5. Was Jesus God Incarnate?
While people generally agree and accept points #1, #2 and #3
this “Best 3-out-of-5” is usually good enough,
but it is points #4 and #5 that cause many people to pause. As today’s
scripture verse illustrates, it is not due to
lack of knowledge or intelligence, but because who Jesus
is is much more than just another historical or loving person,
or great teacher or philosopher.
Everyone has an opinion of who Jesus is, but in matters of eternity
Who you are depends entirely who Jesus Christ is to you.
Friend, is your Jesus 3-out-of-5
or 5-out-of-5?
