Scripture reveals Jesus as God's eternal Son—Creator, Redeemer, and the one who holds all things together.
Scripture on Jesus
John 1:1-3
New Testament
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing has been made that has been made."
Matthew 16:15-16
New Testament
"Jesus asked them, 'But what about you? Who do you say I am?' Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.'"
Romans 6:9-10
New Testament
"We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God."
Colossians 1:15-17
New Testament
"The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. All things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
Isaiah 53:5-6
Old Testament
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
The Bottom Line
Jesus is not a good teacher or moral example; He is God in human flesh who died to rescue us from our sin.

Prayer
Jesus invites us to know Him personally, saying in John 17:3, 'Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.'
Father, I come before You through Jesus, acknowledging that He is Lord—Creator, Savior, and the one I stand accountable to. I confess that I don't fully grasp who He is, and I'm often more shaped by the world's version of Jesus than Scripture's. Show me Jesus as He really is—not what I want Him to be, but who He claims to be. Help me surrender my life to His authority and follow Him with real commitment. In Jesus' name, Amen.
