The Greatest Man in History

The Greatest Man in history, Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified him. He was buried in a tomb, yet he lives today.

The Names of Jesus
Verse
Matthew 1:20-23 ESV

But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

Quote

Why Do We Call Him "Lord Jesus Christ"?

The title Lord Jesus Christ summarizes all of his redemptive work. Lord describes his sovereign deity; Jesus (the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Yeshua; “God Saves”) describes his saving death and resurrection; Christ (“anointed one”) describes him as the King who will defeat God’s enemies and rule over the redeemed earth and the eternal state.

The Identity of Jesus

Is Jesus God?

The Bible’s answer is “yes.” The reason that’s hard for us to grasp is we know him as a historical man. The Bible says “yes” to this reality too. But why is it so important for the biblical story and for your life today that Jesus is both God and man? The Bible doesn't offer Jesus' simultaneous deity and humanity as a concept to grasp, but as a comfort—as the foundation of our hope.

IS JESUS REALLY GOD?

C.S. Lewis
The central miracle asserted by Christians is the incarnation. They say that God became man.
J.B. Phillips
The modern intelligent mind, which has had its horizons widened in dozens of different ways, has got to be shocked afresh by the audacious central fact that as a sober matter of history, God become one of us.
George Whitfield
Jesus was God and man in one person, that God and man might be happy together again.
C.H. Spurgeon
He is not humanity deified. He is not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is, and all that man is as God created Him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Nothing can be known either of God or man until God has become man in Jesus Christ.
J.C. Ryle
The name Emmanuel takes in the whole mystery. Jesus is "God with us." He had a nature like our own in all things, sin only excepted. But though Jesus was "with us" in human flesh and blood, He was at the same time very God.
J.I. Packer
The Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation.
J. Gresham Machen
When the Bible says that Christ is God, it does not ask us to forget a single thing that it has said about the stupendous majesty of God. No, it asks us to remember every one of those things in order that we may apply them all to Jesus Christ.
F.F. Bruce
If Godhead is to be revealed in the created order, it will be revealed most adequately in manhood, since man was created in the image of God. It is fitting, then, that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Divine Word who became flesh, should in his one person be both altogether God and altogether man.
Wayne Grudem
It is by far the most amazing miracle in the whole Bible – far more amazing than the resurrection and more amazing than the creation of the universe. The fact that the infinite, omnipotent, eternal Son of God could become man and join himself to a human nature forever, so that infinite God became one person with finite man, will remain for eternity the most profound miracle and the most profound mystery in all the universe.

Revelation 19:11-16 ESV

Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Is Jesus the Messiah?

God chose to reveal himself to the Jewish people and make them his special possession.  He promised that the blessing for the whole world would come through one Israeli rescuer—the Messiah. Explore our page on the Messiah to discover how Jesus fulfills the biblical prophecies.

The Secret of Aslan

Aslan is the most captivating character in "The Chronicles of Narnia," and perhaps C.S. Lewis wrote him that way intentionally to point to the glory of Jesus.
