There is no shame in following Christ, and for good reason...
Who Jesus Christ is.
1. He is the Messiah, Sent One, Holy One of Israel, Christ.
- He fulfilled over 60 Bible prophecies written from 400 to 2000 years before He came, including details of his birth, life, and death, as being the Savior of man promised by God
2. He is %100 God and %100 Man.
- the Bible calls Him “Immanuel,” or “God with us” (Isa. 7:14, Matt. 1:23); also “God manifest in the flesh” (2 Tim. 3:16), as well as the “Son of God” and “Son of Man,” etc. He is suitable to be a substitute for mankind.
3. He performed miracles to prove who He is.
- he performed too many miracles to count (John 21:25), miracles that no one else has ever performed (John 15:24), miracles that his enemies had to admit (John 11:47), all irrefutable both then and now.
4. He is perfect/ never sinned/ never broke God's Law.
- He resisted the best temptations from the devil himself, could never be convicted of wrong even by his enemies (John 8:46, Matt. 27:3-4), impressed strangers with an impeccable character (Matt. 27:19, 23-24), held a flawless reputation with those who knew him best (John 21:24), etc.
He never deserved to die or suffer hell, but he did for you
5.He completely rose again from the dead!
- His body could not possibly have been stolen, his tomb was empty after the third day, he was seen of many eyewitnesses, (Luke 1:3 & 1 Cor. 15:1-8), etc., and then he ascended into heaven from whence he came (Mk. 1:19, Lk. 24:51, Acts 1:9).
