Jesus Christ is most definitely God. He created Adam and Eve, the first man
and woman, in his image. He is the Creator of the universe. The Bible says,
"Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been
made" (John 1:3). This includes all the stars, all the original animals and plants,
and even the angels (Colossians 1:15-17).
It is important not be confused. God did not create Jesus. Jesus is God, and he
has always existed.
Jesus proved that he is God by doing many things that only God could do. These
are called miracles. He made dead people alive. He walked across a great lake.
He made blind eyes see perfectly again. He healed deadly diseases with a word.
The exciting truth is that Jesus is now also a man, and will remain so for all
eternity. He humbled himself to become like one of his own creations. He chose
to become a man to help us in an extremely important way. This amazing event
happened about 2-thousand years ago. The results have changed the world
forever.
One huge difference between this man and every other man and woman, or boy
and girl, is that Jesus was (and still is) sinless. We humans are full of sin. We sin
every day. Jesus never did anything wrong, not even once. No matter what
temptations came to him, he refused to sin. He has always remained pure and
perfect.
Isn't it amazing to think about?! Our Creator walked among us. Like us, our
Almighty God smelled the flowers and touched the animals that he had created.
He loved boys and girls.
As a man, God experienced the same temptations that we
feel (Hebrews 2:18). He suffered the same kind of physical
pains that we suffer with. He also experienced emotional
pain. He even wept about the city of Jerusalem (John
11:35). He was ignored, unappreciated, unloved,
misunderstood, and even despised -- even though he did
nothing wrong, and always loved everyone (1 Peter 2:23).
Not only is Jesus Christ the greatest man that ever lived; he is our Creator. He
deserved all glory and honor!
He did this for us, because he loves us. Only he could pay the price for our sins.
Only he could save us from the punishment we deserve. He suffered for us (1
Peter 2:21; 3:18; 4:1).
Today, he lives in Heaven and works to help us (Romans 8:34). The Bible tells us
that one day he will return to earth to become the rightful king of the entire world.
That will be a most wonderful time! Finally, we will have a leader that is good and
wise in every way. The earth will be filled with God's glory and justice. Life on this
planet will become so much better. Even the dangerous animals will become
harmless (the wolf will lie down with the lamb)
(Isaiah 11:6).
