“When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples to ask him, ‘Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?’ Jesus replied, ‘Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.’” (Matthew 11:2-6)
How can you know that Jesus really is who He said He was? That was John’s question and it is a question that people still ask today, perhaps you have asked it, or still are asking it.
Jesus didn’t get angry at John’s question, He just answered it. He said, “Look at what I’m doing and you’ll know who I am!” Nicodemus was convinced by the same thing that Jesus said would convince John. Nicodemus said to Jesus, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him.” (John 3:2)
No one could do what Jesus did unless He was from God. And if He was from God, all that He said was true! All that He said about Himself was true. All that He said about eternal life was true!
Look at what Jesus has done: the miracles He did 2,000 years ago, the lives He changed then, the lives He’s changed in the years since, the lives He is still changing today. And the ultimate proof that He is who He said He was is that empty tomb!
He really is who He said He was. He really is God Himself in the flesh.
Worship Him. Serve Him. Trust Him. Love Him.
His, by Grace,
Steve
