JESUS CHRIST THE GOD INCARNATE People and followers were amazed at his provocative and insightful wisdom. He was the centre of attraction with mysterious characteristics that set the son of carpenter apart. He travelled miles around which was his credentials. His impact and influence was none like any other of his time. Though some like to call him a moral and ethical teacher, but his radical claims about himself astounded his followers and adversaries’ alike .His unique claim was viewed as that of God actually in human form, purest with sublime ethics His sermon on mount first talked about equal rights, he that is greatest amongst you,let him be your servant .Both Gandhi and Thomas Jeferson extolled his lofty moral teachings, that all men are created equal .He ministered almost entirely outside established frame work. Only and exclusively Jesus offers deliverance and forgiveness of sins and transformation, unlike others prescribing instructions for way of life .Only Jesus claimed divinity and only God can forgive sins. We may be part of God and seeds of divinity are ingrained in all of us. Jesus said Come to me, I am the truth, obey him, and follow him He used the same phrase I AM, which God said to Abraham at burning bush in describing himself
Thus Jesus claimed power which uniquely belongs to God.. He raised the dead, cured deaf, dumb , lepers, multiply bread in the name of God He claimed to be more than prophet like no other before or thereafter .Jesus referred himself as son of God. He never proclaimed explicitly as God, or man or prophet It cannot be discounted that Jesus being divine ,even if he did not say so explicitly Jews belived in one God as Jesus did. He prayed to Father, those who see me see the Father, no one can go to father except through me. Further at Lazarus death , he says I am the resurrection and life and those who believe shall live, even physically dead in earthly terms. Jews hated him and angered them, accused him for blasphemy for making him God. Forgiving sins was outside the realm of human world. Coming to judge at the end of the world was also considered blasphemous .Jesus was not accepted a God, which is shocking truth Even to the last Jesus does not retact or relinquish his claim to be son of God, In fact he would never would be condemned to ignominious death on the cross if he retacted his claim to be the son of God Was Jesus God in flesh or was he a fake, lying or lunatic with God complex ?. nobody accused him as a liar, misleading for political ends as is the case normally, he could not build his entire ministry of fame, power, success the legacy on lies. Jesus was opposed to lying and hypocrisy and not motivated to lie , even though the Jews labored in vain to expose him as a fraud and liar What benefit would Jesus obtain through lies, God has divine origin and inherent power, which divine source was claimed by some rulers to consolidate their grip on followers. Jesus in fact chased those who abused power. Jesus reached out and touched powerless like lepers, deaf, dumb, prostitutes, which activities are diametrically opposite to urge for power With his divine power he could avoid death on cross accepting it as his destiny and purpose. Dying does not bestows power , as few die for a lie, but for a cause that death brings, The son of God was crucified The ordinary son of a carpenter was catapulted to the world stage, even though his disciples abandoned him and Peter denied him thrice as prophesized No one was resurrected or predicted it advance to strengthen his legacy The periodic aspirations of Mary in various parts of the world further accentuate that Jesus Christ as the son of living God in union with his Father Jeus is God divine in human form, born of Virgin Mary as the scriptures predicted Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
