Committing our lives to Jesus Christ is having a relationship with Him. But this relationship has to be developed and this involves getting to know Him better. Jesus wants us to know Him and that was why He asked His Apostles a question connected to His identity in Matthew chapter 16. In verse 13, He asked them; "Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?"When Jesus asked the above question, His Apostles gave different answers in response. Continuing from verse 14 of Matthew chapter 16 it says; "And they said, some say that thou art John the Baptist; some; Elias; and others; Jeremias or one of the prophets". But He said to them; "But whom say ye that I am?" Then Peter spoke up and said; "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."Apostle Paul was keen on knowing Jesus as the Son of God. The evidence is recorded in his writings in Philippians chapter 3: 10 where he said; "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable unto His death". This is very deep.For us today, the best way for us to get to know about Jesus is to read the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit so that we can have revelations of Him as it appears on every chapter and pages of this wonderful book. Only then can we be able to see His claims concerning Himself and the writings of others in the Gospels.Even though there are revelations of Jesus in the Old Testament of the Bible, the first four books in the New Testament are the Gospels or the "good news" of Jesus Christ. They were written in the first century A.D. and were based upon eyewitness accounts of the life of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.Following history records, Jesus was born about 4 or 5 B.C. (Our calendars today are a little off.) The nation of Israel was under Roman government occupation and the Jews fought to maintain national identity. Every faithful Jew had the hope that one day a Messiah would appear and provide salvation for the nation by overthrowing the Roman rule. The word "Messiah" is a Hebrew, meaning "the anointed one."Majority of the Gospel accounts is devoted to the three years that Jesus spent ministering around the Sea of Galilee. They tell us of the life and teachings of this unique person called Jesus. Hence the Gospels explains, demonstrated His divine powers which He showed by healing the sick, the blind and the lame; raising the dead; walking on water and calming a storm at sea.Because His teachings lacked, the exacting legalism and piousness that characterized so much of the contemporary Judaism, He became tremendously popular among the masses in Galilee. Throughout His ministry, He kept pointing the people to Himself. Although the masses wanted a political liberator and the religious establishment wanted their positions of power and piety recognized, Jesus pandered to neither group.In the Gospel of John, chapter 5, Jesus was accosted by Jewish religious leaders for healing an invalid on the Sabbath which is the Jewish ("Day of Rest"). They widely considered any expenditure of effort on that day a violation of God's command to maintain it as a day of rest. Over the centuries they had meticulously codified what was permissible, and Jesus' action flaunted their strict rules.Jesus defended His action of healing on the Sabbath by explaining that God, as the sustainer of the universe, never rests but continually keeps working. And God is always doing good in human history. He explained that God cannot stop His work and said; "My Father is constantly working, and I follow His example." For this, the Jewish leaders were all the more eager to kill Him because in addition to disobeying the laws of Sabbath, He had spoke of God as His Father, thereby making Himself, equal with God. See (John 5:17, 18).

Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

The story of Jesus Christ goes much deeper than His crucifixion and resurrection. Few will dispute that a man named Jesus Christ lived 2,000 years ago and that He was a great teacher who impacted the world. Christ made a controversial claim—that He was the very Son of God, the long-prophesied Messiah—causing religious authorities in Jerusalem to reject Him, hate Him and eventually succeeded in having Him put to death. Likewise, the local Roman civil authorities also saw Him as a threat and became complicit in His execution. The religions of His day, both Judaism and paganism, opposed the growth of His teachings and used unlawful and violent means to try to destroy the Church He founded. The government of Rome also came to vigorously persecute the followers of this Jewish teacher from Galilee. Today, there is much confusion and questions concerning this controversial figure. Where can you go for the answers? The Bible. This Bible Study aid booklet, "Jesus Christ: The Real Story" will help explain what is written in the Bible about Jesus Christ. You can discover the answers to these questions and more: Who was Jesus Christ of Nazareth? Where did He come from? When was Jesus Christ born? What did Jesus teach? Was He God in the flesh?

Inside this Bible Study Aid ebook: "Perhaps the boldest claim Jesus made about His identity was the statement, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John:8:58)...What was going on here? Jesus was revealing His identity as the actual One whom the Jews knew as God in the Old Testament." "The New Testament writers cite messianic prophecies from the Old Testament more than 130 times. By some estimates the Old Testament contains 300 prophetic passages that describe who the Messiah is and what He will do. Of these, 60 are major prophecies. What are the chances of these prophecies being fulfilled in one person?" "A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that December 25 is an unlikely date for Christ’s birth. Here are two primary reasons..." "How can we fit “three days and three nights” between a Friday-afternoon crucifixion and a Sunday-morning resurrection?"

The words that Jesus said, as recorded in Mark's Gospel, are occasionally assigned second place to what he did. The author has chosen to discuss the words rather than the actions of Jesus. Since Mark's Gospel is so brief, Vicar Phil believes that Mark has chosen the most crucial words of Jesus for his Gospel and that they are directed squarely at each of us and the twenty-first-century church. 2

New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.

In Did Jesus Exist? historian and Bible expert Bart Ehrman confronts the question, "Did Jesus exist at all?" Ehrman vigorously defends the historical Jesus, identifies the most historically reliable sources for best understanding Jesus’ mission and message, and offers a compelling portrait of the person at the heart of the Christian tradition. Known as a master explainer with deep knowledge of the field, Bart Ehrman methodically demolishes both the scholarly and popular “mythicist” arguments against the existence of Jesus. Marshaling evidence from within the Bible and the wider historical record of the ancient world, Ehrman tackles the key issues that surround the mythologies associated with Jesus and the early Christian movement. In Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth, Ehrman establishes the criterion for any genuine historical investigation and provides a robust defense of the methods required to discover the Jesus of history.

This book is intended to show Jesus's deity through the signs and dialogue in the book of John. John has recorded eight signs or miracles in his Gospel. He begins with the marriage at Cana and progresses through his Gospel to the resurrection, the greatest of all the signs. These miracles in the book of John, and all the Bible for that matter, are not arbitrary but were chosen by the Holy Spirit to show that Jesus is who he says he is. John himself tells us his purpose in writing his Gospel in John 20:21: "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." This book is intended for you to look at the miracle and sayings of Jesus in John and show how they point to Jesus being the promised Messiah, the Son of God, deity incarnate. John showed who Jesus was when he said, "I am the bread of life," and proceeded to feed the five thousand with the loaves and fish. John records that he said, "I am the light of the world," and then Jesus proceeded to heal a man born blind from birth. He told Mary at the death of Lazarus, "I am the resurrection and the life," and proceeded to raise the dead. Finally, he told his disciples, "I lay my life down, and I will take it up again." Then he went to the cross, died, and was buried to rise again on the third day. And just in case there is any doubt as to his resurrection, he appears to Thomas in the upper room and to the disciples by the sea of Tiberius. It is my prayer that this book may prove who Jesus is to the minds of all who read it. That they may come to believe that Jesus is who he said he is""the Messiah, the Son of God, who died for our sins""and is raised to make it just as if we never sinned (Romans 4:25).

The Peace and Harmony Gospel of Jesus. Jesus Speaks. 90 pages.The Christian Bible can be divided into three major sections; the Old Testament, the first four gospels of the New Testament, and the balance of the New Testament.The Old Testament begins with Adam and Eve and the story of Creation. It then moves to the beginning of Jewish history with the introduction of Abraham. The next major Jewish player is Moses who delivered the law, in the form of the Ten Commandments, to the Israelites after their Exodus from Egypt. This is the core of the Old Testament.The New Testament begins with a man called Jesus. He claims to be the Jewish Messiah who was foretold throughout the Old Testament. He states that he has come only to the Israelites. He says that he has come with a new doctrine, a new focus and a new understanding regarding the Israelites and their relationship to their God and to each other.This new doctrine had only two commandments: the first, love God; the second, love one another. The first four books of the New Testament consists of the gospels (good news) of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. All four gospels relate the story of Jesus' life. With a few very minor exceptions, they are the only books of the Bible which directly quote the sayings of Jesus.The balance of the New Testament consists of commentary on what Jesus said, what he did and how his words and acts relate to humanity. This commentary which began over 1900 years ago has never lost its momentum as Christians and non-Christians continue to seek an understanding of the words and deeds of Jesus.In this book, I have considered only those sayings attributed to Jesus in the first four gospels of the New Testament as well as the gospel of Thomas. I have not focused on what came before Jesus as recorded in the Old Testament and I have not attempted to comment on what others said after his ordeal on the cross. Consequently, I have ignored most of the traditional Bible.The gospel of Thomas is not one of the officially sanctioned books of the Bible but I have counted it as a fifth gospel because it is a collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus. Many of these sayings have parallels in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The gospel of Thomas is part of the Nag Hammadi Library which was rediscovered in 1945. The Nag Hammadi Library is a collection of the 1500-year-old texts which were copied from more ancient documents, some of which are believed to have been written within decades of Jesus' death. The gospel of Thomas is one of many rediscovered texts that are focusing new light on the life and sayings of Jesus.In reality, there is no way that we can know exactly what Jesus said because it was allegedly not written down at the time he said it. Each of the five gospels records what the authors believed were the most important sayings of Jesus. Obviously, there was some disagreement over which sayings were the most important because the gospels are not identical.For the purposes of this book, the valid sayings of Jesus are the ones which are quoted in at least two of the five gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Thomas. (Except for the conflict between Jesus and the Jewish religious bureaucrats) Also, I only considered the sayings having parallel wording and not the ones having parallel thoughts. Logically, I considered the most significant sayings to be the ones that are the most often quoted by the gospel authors. In this book, I have focused only on what Jesus allegedly said as recorded in the Bible and how his sayings relate to increasing the level of Peace in the world human society. I have generally declined to include the sayings that relate to the divinity of Jesus, the death on the cross, the many miracles ...
