“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ
the Lord” – Luke 2:11
They say he
was a good person. They say he was a
prophet. They say he was an angel who
became a man. They say he is the brother
of Satan. They say he was a story made
up to make us feel better about ourselves.
They say he never actually lived.
He is the most documented figure in the history of the world, and the
most debated.
I believe He was the Son of God, the propitiation for our sins, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He was prophesied throughout the Old Testament, yet unknown to those who expected Him. His life would demonstrate the love of the Father, the pureness and righteousness of being holy. I believe the truths from the Bible, as God’s holy Word.
Why do I believe these things?
I’ve been to Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jericho, Sea of Galilee and Jerusalem; and seen with my own eyes the truthfulness of the Bible. Things written about thousands of years ago, with extreme detail are still evident today through the archaeological findings in and around Jerusalem, Mount Carmel, Ceasarea Philippi, Jordan River and Capernaum. We can read in the Word, and see with our eyes the truths from that era, just as you would any history book ever written. Yet, for some reason, there are those who read this history book and believe it is fairy tales and nonsense.
I
was told of Jesus at the young age of 6 or 7.
At First Baptist Church of Tecumseh, I learned who He was, what He did
for us and how much He loved us. I accepted
Him as my Savior and Lord, and was baptized at the age of 12. I have never been persecuted for my faith in
Jesus Christ, although there have been many times in my life where debates would
ensue with friends and colleagues. I’ve
no proof of Jesus life, neither do you.
What I stand on is the faith that He is who the scriptures say He
is. The story of His miraculous birth
and life have transcended time. I
believe in Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God the Father.I believe He was the Son of God, the propitiation for our sins, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He was prophesied throughout the Old Testament, yet unknown to those who expected Him. His life would demonstrate the love of the Father, the pureness and righteousness of being holy. I believe the truths from the Bible, as God’s holy Word.

Just as Jesus asked Peter in Caesarea Philippi in Matthew 16:15, “Who do you say that I am?” I ask you today. Who do you say Jesus Christ is?
