Lesson 1 - Question 3 'What Others Said About Who He Was'

Who do you believe Jesus is and on what do you base that belief? List the facts that particularly help you know that He is God.

[ugh, what a tough question to answer succinctly ... here goes?] I have a longing - a sense that I can't see everything - there is more to know than what I can see, hear or feel - there is something greater; greater than living and greater than dying - there must be a God somewhere. I find Jesus' words and actions give the clear and accurate portrayal of God. [This will need more elaboration I know] Since I've found Jesus' portrayal of God to be believable [hmm sounds like a blog is needed to look at what Jesus said about God] I believe all He says. Jesus says He is God and I do believe Jesus is God.

[the clock has run out on me for this response but I will have to add to/clarify it as time goes on]

Lesson 1 - Question 2 'What Others Said About Who He Was'

His enemies:
The Jews (John 10:33)
[Well, first of all, "the Jews" are not Christ's enemy. Jesus is a Jew. The scripture reference speaks to how the religious Jewish leadership, evidenced in verse 31, say about Christ.] They said Jesus blasphemed for saying He is God. They said He is a mere man.

Judas (Matthew 27:3,4)
Judas said Jesus was an innocent man.

Pilate (Matthew 27:22,23)
Here Pilate says Jesus is called the Messiah and also infers that Jesus committed no crime.

The Roman solider (Matthew 27:54)
He said 'truly, this is the Son of God.'
