Who Is Jesus Christ?
​
The question of Jesus’ identity is central to Christianity and has profound implications for every person. When Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15), Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” This claim is not just a matter of faith, but is supported by historical evidence, fulfilled prophecy, and the unique claims and actions of Jesus Himself.
​
Unlike mythical figures, Jesus is a well-attested historical person. Even non-Christian historians like Josephus wrote about Him, confirming that He lived, taught, performed remarkable deeds, was crucified, and that His followers claimed He rose from the dead. The New Testament accounts were written and circulated among people who could have refuted them if they were false, yet the early church grew rapidly in the very places where these events occurred.
​
Some suggest Jesus was merely a good teacher or moral leader. However, Jesus claimed to be the only way to God (John 14:6), to forgive sins, and to be one with the Father. If these claims were false, He would be either a liar or deluded—not simply a good man. The only logical alternative is that He truly is who He claimed to be: the Son of God.
What sets Jesus apart from all other religious leaders is the fulfillment of detailed prophecies written centuries before His birth. The Old Testament predicted the Messiah would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), from the line of Abraham and David, and would perform miracles, be betrayed, suffer, die, and rise again. Jesus fulfilled these prophecies in ways that could not be orchestrated by human effort. The mathematical odds of one person fulfilling even a handful of these prophecies by chance are astronomically small.
The resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith. Jesus predicted His own death and resurrection, and the evidence for the empty tomb and post-resurrection appearances convinced even skeptics like Paul and James. The disciples, who had fled in fear, became bold witnesses, willing to die for their testimony. More than 500 people claimed to have seen the risen Christ (1 Corinthians 15:6).
Jesus’ own words and the testimony of the early church affirm His divinity. He accepted worship, forgave sins, and claimed unity with God the Father. The doctrine of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—expresses the biblical teaching that Jesus is fully God and fully man.
