Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God, Immanuel, which translated means, God with us. Jesus came forth
from the Father into the world as Prophet to testify to the truth.

Jesus made
Seven I Am Statements in the Gospel According to John declaring God.
- Jesus said, " I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst." (Jn 6:35 [NASB])
- Jesus said, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." (Jn 8:12 [NASB])
- Jesus said, "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. " (Jn 10:9 [NASB])
- Jesus said, I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." (Jn 10:11 [NASB])
- Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" (Jn 11:25-26 [NASB])
- Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." (Jn 14:6-7 [NASB])
- Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." (Jn 15:5 [NASB])
Jesus came forth from the Father into
the world as Priest to redeem the sheep. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23);
the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord (Rom 6:23). Jesus lived a perfect life (2 Cor 5:21) and He
died for our sins according to the scriptures, and He was buried, and He was
raised on the third day according to the scriptures (1 Cor 15:3-4); and He
presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs,
appearing to His disciples over a period of forty days and speaking of the
things concerning the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). All authority in heaven
and on earth has been given to Him (Mt 28:18); He ascended into heaven and sat
down at the right hand of God, and is presently making intercession on behalf
of everyone who comes to God through faith in Him (Heb 7:25).
Jesus will return at a time of the
Father's choosing as King for judgment.
“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then
He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before
Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the
sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on
the left." (Mt 25:31-33 [NASB]). The sheep are all those who believe
in Jesus, hear His voice, and follow Him (Jn 10:27-30). They are justified;
which means to be declared righteous. As a gift; they do not deserve
it. By His grace; which means unmerited favor. They are
redeemed; which means to be bought back. And all of this is done by
the blood of Jesus Christ through faith (Rom 3:24-25). The goats are
all those who do not believe in Jesus, reject Him, and do not receive His
sayings (Jn 10:25-26 & 12:47-48). "These will go away into eternal
punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Mt 25:46 [NASB])
What you must do is repent; which means to change your mind. Receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior through faith.
Jesus performed many signs in the presence of His disciples; one of whom was
John, and he (John) wrote a testimony, about what he had seen and heard, concerning
the Word of Life. Get a Bible and read it, beginning with the Gospel According
to John, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and
that believing you may have life in His name.
