Who is Jesus?

Hebrews 1:¹³And to which of the angels has he ever said,

"Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?

¹⁴Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

Basically, Christianity is the only religion that recognizes that Jesus is God's son and God Himself. There are many other religions that believe that Jesus existed and that he was a prophet and that he was a "good person." Many actually believe that he was just an angel sent by God. However, Paul clarifies here the basis of our faith which is that Jesus is God and God's son sent for the specific purpose of salvation and sanctification. Mankind is the benefactor of God's salvation. We get to inherit this gift purchased at the cost of Jesus' life. We get to inherit this gift through the power of Jesus' resurrection!

If there is one thing that I should make clear to non-believers, it is that Jesus is God's begotten son who was and is God. This is a huge point of confusion for other people. Mormons believe that Jesus was Satan's brother and that they were both angels. Muslims believe Jesus was just another prophet and that Muhammad came after Jesus to prophesy even more. Judaism professes that Jesus was not the Messiah prophesied about in the Bible. Even those who claim to be "spiritual" miss the gift of salvation because salvation only comes through the Son. To reject Jesus' true identity is to reject God's sacrifice. Forget those thousands of chain-e-mails that use the scripture about rejecting Jesus to justify why those e-mails are circulating. To really accept Jesus, is to know and believe that He is God's Son who was and is also God Himself. I could send a hundred "Christian" e-mails ending them with "God bless you" and still be rejecting Jesus Christ. I think it is clear to me know, so suddenly, what I must proclaim. The point isn't about God...I think all people somewhere deep inside know that a "higher power" exists. The point is Jesus. God loves us so much that He sent Jesus. Jesus is God and so He was able to overcome the world. Jesus wasn't just an angel. Jesus was God in the flesh sent for the purpose of redeeming whomever would accept His sacrifice.

Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus. Jesus, thank You for coming and dying for my sins. Jesus, I know You are God and that You are the only Son of God. I worship You alone and I praise You for who You are. Jesus, help me to tell others about You. Help me to make it clear to others who You really are. I love You, Lord. I pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
