IS JESUS THE SON OF GOD?[CONCLUSION]

 'NO FOUNDER OF KNOWN RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT HAD A FORERUNNER NOR PERFOMED MIRACLES LIKE THIS JESUS; AGAIN HE FORGAVE SIN AND WE SAW THE EFFECT.'

Here is my final article to persuade, encourage, renew and enlighten us, that Jesus is the son of God, depending on your spiritual status. I started from the onset i never took to Christianity because it was fashionable . My conversion was out of my personal investigation and also remembering my parents' disappointment of their status quo after selling properties to appease gods for good health; my father never really found peace or good health until he embraced the christian faith. This experience encourage me in this race and also gave me respite from my father, who was not really happy with my faith. The reason i christened my daughter Daisy is that the book i read 'how to be born again', was written by T.L Osborn, whose wife was called Daisy. I believe those who introduced you to the part of eternal life gave you the best that life could give.

If you tell me your father is the billionaire in your land, the owner of the vast land that sprawls the countryside, the owner of the only international airport i will be doubtful of such claim. But if you showed me proof which i can see and experience, i will no longer doubt you, but be among those who shall tell others that your claim is true. [witness] There is nothing wrong when one makes a bold claim, but when it is back up, we all stand in awe; wondering and talking about it for sometime to come and our perception of that individual becomes different. Jesus proved beyond doubt and met the criteria and thus he is the messiah, God's son, that was predicted to come in the flesh. Again, a forerunner was ordained to do the job of preparing the way of the coming of the saviour.Malachi 3:1, Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. When the saviour finally came his forerunner, John the Baptist, had to remind them of what was said thousands of years earlier Matthew 3:3, For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John the baptist was the voice of one crying in the wilderness see Luke 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John also hinted the people of the imminent coming of christ see Matthew 3:11, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: None of the prophets or founders of any religious groups had a forerunner who came to prepare the people before his coming. There are many things he did to tell the people that he is the son of God; like he forgave sin. Who can forgive sin if not God? This shows Jesus perceived himself as God. see an incidence in the book of Mark 2:5-7 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only? Mark 2:8-12, And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. see Psalms 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Jesus in this passage prooved to be the eternal son of God. Another significacant thing to note is how jesus framed his words. 'verily, verily, i say unto you'. He never said thus said the lord, because he was the Lord! this way placed him above all the prophets. He shows it has the final authority on the matter.

Final test: for anyone to call himself God or equate himself in any form as a deity, he must be on the path of all men; death. Jesus conquered death like he predicted he would. He rose like he said he would in three days.Matthew 12:40, For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Jesus, the christ passed the ultimate test of his claim as the son of God; he conquered death thus fulfilling his promises and claims as the eternal saviour. John 11:25, Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: This is the message of Christianity this is the gospel we spread to the whole word that there is hope after this broken world and that Jesus made that possible for us through the forgiveness of sins [to bring us back to God death on the cross, and resurrection so that those who die now should now there is hope for a better life and an eternal one at that. He has the key and, in his final demonstration dais to the thief at the cross 'Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise',.Luke 23:43.
