The True
Jesus of the Bible reveals Himself to those who seek Him.

The
Transfiguration shone with the
Radiance
of God's Glory.

(By Carl
Heinrich Block, Danish, 1834-1890)
I found
myself in a vision, just a nine year old boy, swallowed
toward a down churning black hole in the cosmos. Adult men and women
pulled into the bottomless force disappeared out of sight. As I
reached the brink, a hand from above grabbed me into the safety of
his lap. I could not see his face, but I knew it was this Jesus.
“Do I
have to go down there?” I asked.
“No,”
said this most gentle and beautiful male voice. “I have things I
want you to do.” He spoke incredibly lovingly. I knew I was very,
very safe in his lap.
Some
miss this, but Jesus reveals himself
to those
who seek him.
v20 “On that day you will realize
that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The
one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them
and show myself to them” (John 14:20-21 NIV).
Jesus is
the radiance of God's Glory,
the
exact representation of his Being.
v2 But in these last days he has
spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and
through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of
God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining
all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification
for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven (Heb
1:2-3 NIV).
God is
One, the Trinity of persons,
so
revealed by the Scriptures.
v4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God,
the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your strength (Deut 6:4-5 NIV).
Jesus is
the Messiah, the King of Kings and Lord
of
Lords, the Son of God, the Most High Himself.
v9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority (Col 2:8-10 NIV).
“However,
it is important to note that it is the true Christ that makes someone
a Christian, not the Mormon
one (brother of the devil, see Mormon
Beliefs for more information), or the Jehovah's
Witnesses one (Michael the Archangel),
the New
Age Jesus (a man in tune with the divine Christ Consciousness),
etc.
“The
true Christ is God
in flesh (John 1:1,14; 20:28; Col. 2:9; Phil. 2:5-8; Heb. 1:8):
Jesus,” as CARM instructs <http://carm.org/dictionary-christian>.
v9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know
me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone
who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the
Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that
the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own
authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his
work” (John 14: 9-10 NIV).
The True
Jesus of the Bible is Awesome God. He reveals Himself to those who
seek Him.
