Digital Logos Edition
During His days on earth and throughout the centuries following, opinions about Jesus have varied greatly. Jewish dignitaries of His day saw Him as a deceiver. Roman officials saw Him as a threat to civil peace. His half brothers heckled Him. One of His followers betrayed Him. Another denied Him. Many abandoned Him. Although He spoke the truth, most did not have ears to hear. Nevertheless, during His short time on earth, He spoke clearly as to who He was, where He was from, why He was here... and earth has never been the same. Nor is anyone the same, anyone in whom Jesus comes to dwell.
Consequently, in your own lifetime, you will also have to respond to two crucial questions about Jesus: First, “Do you believe He is God?” and second, “What will you do with Him?” In truth, Jesus stated clearly to His followers...
“You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins.” (John 8:23–24)
