JESUS WAS MORE
THAN (JUST) A
GREAT MAN
WHAT ARE THE FACTS?
I.UNLIKE
OTHER
FOUNDERS
OF
RELIGIONS
A. HIS COMING WAS FORETOLD (
Mathew 1:22-23
"And she will bring forth a Son, and
you shall call His name JESUS, for
He will save His people from their
sins."
22 So all this was done that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the Lord through the prophet,
saying:
23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with
child, and bear a Son, and they shall
call His name Immanuel," which is
translated, "God with us."
HE FULFILLED
OVER 300
HUNDRED
PROPHESIES
HE IS UNIQUE IN
WORLD’S HISTORY
AND LITERATURE.
Infarct HISTORY IS
HIS STORY!
B. ONLY JESUS
CAME FROM
OUTSIDE THE
WORLD- OTHER
MESSENGERS
ONLY CLAIM
TO HAVE HAD
REVELATIONS,
MESSAGES
AND INSIGHTS
• JOHN 6:38
• 38 "For I have come
down from heaven, not to
do My own will, but the
will of Him who sent Me.
• 39 "This is the will of
the Father who sent Me,
that of all He has given
Me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up at
the last day.
• 40 "And this is the will
of Him who sent Me, that
everyone who sees the
Son and believes in Him
may have everlasting
life; and I will raise him
up at the last day."
C. ONLY JESUS DECLARED
HIMSELF TO BE GOD-
This Declaration was backed up by a life of wisdom, authority,
Humility and love
• JOHN 8:58
• 58 Jesus answered, “I tell you
the truth, before Abraham was
even born, I AM!”
• 59 At that point they picked up
stones to throw at him. But
Jesus was hidden from them
and left the Temple.
D. ONLY
JESUS
TALKED
WITHOUT
FLAW OF
CHARACTER
John 8:46
• 46 Which of you can
truthfully accuse me of
sin? And since I am telling
you the truth, why don’t
you believe me?
• 47 Anyone who belongs to
God listens gladly to the
words of God. But you
don’t listen because you
don’t belong to God.”
E. ONLY JESUS
DIED FOR THE
SINS OF THE
WORLD- SIN IS
THE RESULT OF
MAN’S
REBELLION
AGAINST
GOD,OTHER MEN
JUST DIED AND
THEIR GRAVES
ARE HERE WITH
US. ONLY JESUS
WAS BORN TO
DIE
• MARK 10:45
45 For even the Son
of Man came not to
be served but to
serve others and to
give his life as a
ransom for many.”
HE
ACTUALLY
PREDICTED
HIS OWN
DEATH
• LUKE 18:31-34
Taking the twelve disciples aside,
Jesus said, “Listen, we’re going
up to Jerusalem, where all the
predictions of the prophets
concerning the Son of Man will
come true.
32 He will be handed over to the
Romans, and he will be mocked,
treated shamefully, and spit
upon.
33 They will flog him with a whip
and kill him, but on the third day
he will rise again.”
34 But they didn’t understand any
of this. The significance of his
words was hidden from them,
and they failed to grasp what he
was talking about.
F. ONLY
JESUS
ROSE
FROM THE
DEAD AS
HE HAD
PROMISED
• THE TOMB WHERE HE
WAS BURIED IS EMPTY-
GO TO JERUSALEM AND
SEE FOR YOURSELF
• THE TOMBS OF OTHER
RELIGIOUS LEADERS
ARE HERE WITH US.
• BUDHA WAS
CREAMATED 10C BC IN
INDIA.
Jesus claims to be God
ONLY TWO Alternatives
False True
two alternatives HE IS LORD
KNEW HIS CLAIMS WERE FALSE DID NOT KNOW HIS CLAIMS- FALSE
TWO ALTERNATIVES
WAS SINCERELY DELUDED
HE MADE A DELIBERATE
MISREPRESENTATION OF WHO HE WAS
HE WAS A LIAR
HE WAS A HYPOCRITE
HE WAS A DEMON
HE WAS A FOOL FOR HE DIED FOR IT WAS A LUNATIC YOU CAN ACCEPT YOU CAN REJECT
WAS
HE A
LIAR?
• MEN LIE FOR PROFIT
• WHY WOULD ONE LIE
AND DIE FOR A LIE?
PEOPLE DIE FOR
SOMETHING THEY
THINK IS TRUE
• JESUS NEVER
PORTRAYED ANY
SELFISH
PERSONALITY
WAS HE A
LUNATIC?
• Psychiatrics will tell you:
Schizophrenia is a symptom
of disturbed personality
• Jesus was balanced,
humble, and was ready to
serve others, was unselfish
• He had no illness of
megalomania
• He came to serve to give his
life as a ransom
• Washed the feet of his
disciples including the
traitor
THE ONLY
EXPLANATION
THAT FITS THE
FACTS IS THAT • HE WAS AND IS
LORD
WAS
HE
JUST
A
MAN?
A MAN WHO WAS
MERELY A MAN AND
SAID THE THINGS
JESUS SAID WOULD
NOT BE A GREAT
MORAL TEACHER.
HE WOULD EITHER BE
A LIAR, A LUNATIC, ON
A LEVEL WITH THAT
MAN WHO SAYS ,” I AM
A POACHED EGG.”
HE WOULD BE THE DEVIL
OF HELL
THE
CHOICE
THIS MAN WAS ,IS GOD,SON
OF GOD OR A MAD MAN OR
SOMETHING WORSE.
YOU CAN SHUT HIM UP FOR
A FOOL,SPIT ON HIM OR
KILL HIM AS A DEMON
OR
WORSHIP
YOU CAN FALL DOWN AT
HIS FEET AND CALL HIM
LORD AND GOD.
LET’S US LEAVE THAT
PATRONIZING
NONSENSE OF ABOUT
HIM BEING A GREAT
TEACHER OR PROPHET.
HE HAS NOT LEFT THAT
OPTION OPEN TO US
AND DID NOT INTEND
TO
RELATIONSHIP
IF THESE BE TRUE
THAT HE WAS GOD,
THEN THERE IS
NOTHING SO
IMPORTANT THAN
TO MAKE A SOLID
RELATIONSHIP
WITH HIM
THIS IS
HOW…
JOHN 3:16-17
16 “For God loved the world so much
that he gave his one and only Son, so
that everyone who believes in him will
not perish but have eternal life.
17 God sent his Son into the world not
to judge the world, but to save the
world through him.
EPH.
2:8-10
8 God saved you by his grace
when you believed. And you can’t
take credit for this; it is a gift from
God.
9 Salvation is not a reward for the
good things we have done, so
none of us can boast about it.
10 For we are God’s masterpiece.
He has created us anew in Christ
Jesus, so we can do the good
things he planned for us long ago.
ROM
10:9-
12
10 For it is by believing in your heart
that you are made right with God,
and it is by confessing with your
mouth that you are saved.
11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone
who trusts in him will never be
disgraced.”
12 Jew and Gentile are the same in
this respect. They have the same
Lord, who gives generously to all
who call on him.
13 For “Everyone who calls on the
name of the LORD will be saved.”
14 But how can they call on him to
save them unless they believe in
him? And how can they believe in
him if they have never heard about
him? And how can they hear about
him unless someone tells them?
