Herod, along with many others, wondered who Jesus really was. Unable to accept Jesus' claim to be God's Son, many people made up their own explanation for His power and authority. Herod thought that Jesus was John the Baptist come back to life, while those who were familiar with the Old Testament thought He was Elijah. Others believed that Jesus was a teaching prophet in the tradition of Moses, Isaiah, or Jeremiah. Today people still have to make up their minds about Jesus. Some think that if they can name what He is-prophet, teacher, good man-they can weaken the power of his claim on their lives. BUT WHAT THEY THINK DOES NOT CHANGE WHO JESUS IS.

He SAID he was the Son of the Living God, the only way to heaven, the truth, the life, the savior of the world....
Many say he was a good man, a teacher, or a prophet or a healer, but that he was NOT God. This is impossible - there are only 3 options. He was either:
1) Intentionally deceptive because he knew he really wasn't God, but told everyone He was - rules out the good man theory,
2) He just THOUGHT he was God, so he was crazy, or
3) HE WAS WHO HE SAID HE WAS
I think this is the first question that God will ask us when we meet him for judgment - "What do you say of Jesus Christ"?

Yes, its the truth doesnt matter what you or i or anyone else thinks> IN the Bible, God tells us who Jesus is. Jesus is the son of God, father God, and Jesus is also part of the triune God head, where the three operate as one. Jesus is everything. Jesus saves, Jesus heals and delivers and without Jesus there is no other way to salvation. HE is our example of how to live a sin free life and yes it can be done by the indrwelling of the Holy SPirit who is also part of the Godhead. Because of Jesus, we have the ability to commands the evil spirits to flee in HIs name, and we can call on our angels to help when we need them. We can do all that Jesus did, except to save, by the power of the blood of Jesus when He died upon that cross. Most just dont know who He is, or who they are in Him. But it changes nothing Jesus is who God says He is. HE is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow and He loves us so much that He wants us to change and become like Him and have blessings to overflow. HE loves us that much and is so eager to forgive. Jesus is not only the reason for the season, Jesus is the reason for everything that is good. He wasnt just a prophet, or a teacher or a good man. Jesus is God, the Bible says so, and if we want to know Him or what He tells us, we must pray and learn what we are told in the precious Holy Word of God and let the Holy Spirit drwell withint us to change us, so we can hear and know and obey.
Jesus is EVERYTHING> without Him we are nothing, we have nothing, and we would have nothing but hell for ourselves. Praise God, Jesus doesnt hang upon that cross still dead. Jesus is a living God and He is here for those that will call.

I am no Peter. BUT that doesnt limit my confession of Jesus Christ as my All in All.
He is my Personal Savior and Redeemer
He is the Light of my life
He is Omnipotent, omniscient, Omnipresent
He is with me and in me
I am no perfect, But JESUS is
He is the SON of the Living God
He is the Mediator between God and man
He is the way to heaven
He cannot be contained in words
Neither can He be limited to signs and wonders wrought
He was there from theBeginning
And there's no end in Him
My friends, He is incomprehensive
You cant know Him unless you 'know' Him
He is Eternal God and Everlasting Father
He is the Prince of Peace, Almighty God
He came down to the earth in a form worser than a servant
Humbled himself for you and for me to the Cross
Gave His life as a Ransom for my soul
As a lamb slaughtered He died for us on the Cross
The Grave tried to hold Him,
Pharisees thought that was the end of Him
Romans had pleasure crucifying Him to the cross
Thought they could get rid of Him..but in no way could
BUT, the grave couldnt hold Him
Oh and death wasnt able to conquer Him
Even Satan gleaned with passion, that His end was near
Ohhhh But LIttle did they know that He would RISE AGAIN!!
Good news: JESUS ROSE AGAIN THE 3rd day
And now LIVES forever
Seated on the Right hand of God
Promised a place in Heaven, would come back to gather his saints.
Words just flow on and on, no matter how much
You cant just stop describing who He is
My friend, I love explain more about Him
But honestly, am run out of Words
With tears of Joy in my eyes,
With a heart filled with gratitude
I could fall down to His feet and kiss Him to say:
JESUS You are my everything, My life. AMEN

Jesus is my only Hope.
Jesus is God.
Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
Jesus is my everything.
Without Jesus I am nothing and have nothing.
Oh Yeah this just reminded me of something!
Do you know Jesus?
Do you really know Him?
Jesus said, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15
And saying, The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled (completed), and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent (have a change of mind which issues in regret for past sins and in change of conduct for the better) and believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to) the good news (the Gospel). Amp
May God Bless You!
Keep up the good fight!
I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. John 16:22

Yeah, and I find it interesting that Satan knew exactly who Jesus was but he couldn't figure out what God was up to, coming down from heaven and being born as a human being. The scriptures say if Satan had known Jesus death would free the souls of men and women all over the world, Satan would not have allowed himself be used to accomplish Christ Crucifixion. Imagine the wisest angel created could not get out of check-mate with the Creator.

I say that He is exactly who He revealed Himself to be to HIs Apostles. The Messiah to the Jews. A messenger sent from God to demonstrate what a life looks like when lived in perfect harmony with The Holy Spirit inside us. He and The Holy Spirit are the only ones to know God intimately and be with humans. Absolute truth and unconditional love. Be smart, don't settle for less.
