If you were to take a poll of the proverbial 'Man on the Street'
and ask them this question, you might get a variety of answers that he was:
- A Wise Man
- A Teacher
- An Example to Others
- A Rebel
- A Revolutionary
- A Charismatic Personality
- A Famous Historical Person
- Just One of Many Great Religious Leaders
If you thought one of these or similar - fair enough. You can believe anything you want
about who Jesus really was, but the Apostle Peter said something fairly significant when he
said simply, “You are THE CHRIST,” but if that is true, what does that mean?
According to the Bible, Christ means 'The Anointed One'
and 'The Messiah'
and by implication the LORD of all and Saviour of the
World, and compared to the answers many
people would give above, those two don’t even come close.
The point is it’s either one or another. Either he was
Just an influential person that had
a historical and perhaps moral impact on the world,
or He WAS as the Bible says,
“God Made flesh and became man.
” (Philippians 2:7)
There is no in between.
It is a simple question: Who do YOU say Jesus Is??
