In 2013 Jesus Christ was named the most significant person ever in history. Wikipedia ranked Jesus Christ(1st) ahead of Napoleon Bonaparte(2nd) and William Shakespeare(3rd) on the impact each person had in influencing people’s opinions over history. But who is Jesus Christ really? Did He really live 2,000 years ago and do all those things? What does the bible really say about Jesus? This is the next blog in a short series about what the bible really reveals, and I hope you will find it informative.

5 Things The Bible Reveals About Jesus Christ
Prophecy Of Jesus Coming
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
There were more than 300 prophetic scriptures that Jesus Christ fulfilled in His lifetime, these words were spoken by God’s prophets 100’s of years previously concerning the coming of the Messiah. Many of these prophecies were ‘time specific’ and related to historical windows when certain things had to happen for the ‘Messiah’ to be revealed. Only one person in all history fulfilled each and every prophecy and that was Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was born miraculously of the virgin Mary after the Holy Spirit overshadowed her as foretold by the Angel Gabriel. Jesus although fully a man, was born without the sin nature that had plagued mankind since the fall of Adam and Eve.
Jesus Miraculous Life
Acts 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
The life of Jesus Christ was miraculous in the extreme, and it is obvious that God’s blessing and favour were upon Him. Jesus displayed incredible abilities as He taught about God’s Kingdom throughout the nation of Israel, abilities that even today with all our technology we have no way of emulating. He healed every sickness and disease among the people, He made the lame to walk and the blind to see. On more than one occasion He raised people from the dead and restored them to their families alive and well. He exercised authority over the elements by walking on water and commanding storms to cease, but even this was surpassed when He rose again from the grave, having conquered death.
Jesus Defeated Satan’s Power
John 12:31
Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
Jesus ultimate purpose was to destroy the unending influence and power that the devil, Satan had wielded over all of mankind since our fall in the Garden of Eden. He accomplished this not through sending forth armies into battle, but through the greatest act of love ever seen. Jesus willingly went to the Cross of Calvary to pay the price due for the sins of all mankind, the sinless Christ dying in the place of sinful man. Through His death He was able to satisfy all the legal requirements of heaven that resulted from our fall into sin.
Jesus Rose Victorious From The Grave
1 Corinthians 15:4
and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
The greatest enemy that every man born throughout history must face is the certainty of death. Death’s inevitability and final victory was assured ever since Mankind fell into sin, and no-one could win against it. No-one that is until Jesus Christ! Death entered into mankind through the sin of Adam but because Jesus Christ was sinless and died in our place, He had the authority to destroy death’s dominion. Now all who believe in His resurrection from the dead are bestowed the gift of eternal life by having their sins forgiven by God.
Jesus Is Coming Back Again
Acts 1:10-11
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Christ’s return will be as the King of Kings with great power and authority, and to Him every knee shall bow. The graves shall be opened and every person ever born will stand before God and give an account of the life they lived, and whether they accepted or rejected the Saviour that God had sent, His Son Jesus Christ.
These events have been prophesied for thousands of years and just as 100’s of other prophecies of Christ’s Birth, Life, Death and Resurrection have been fulfilled, we can be assured that these will too. Our role and choice as a father is to decide whether we want to stand before God forgiven by accepting Christ or condemned for rejecting man’s only hope of salvation. This is clearly what the bible reveals about Jesus Christ.
Warm Regards
