The answer to the question Who is Jesus? affects everything about our lives. This is the case because what Jesus’ followers through the centuries have claimed about him is that Jesus is
God and man, that:
Jesus is the human locus of the divine, the human face of God
the incarnation of the Second Person of the Tri-personal God
the Eternal Word made flesh.
And BECAUSE Jesus is God and man,
He is the Redeemer of the human race who negated a primordial curse
the Savior who delivers us from our enslavement to evil and the danger of final damnation
the transmitter of the very Life of God.
If Jesus is indeed whom he and his followers say he is, then he is nothing less than the fulcrum of human history and human destiny.
In this work we will try to show that Jesus is the Incarnation of Infinity. God and man and therefore our Savior.
We will do this in three phases: WHAT, WHO and WHY
In the first phase, the WHAT, we consider what is known, what is virtually indisputable, about Jesus. We review the top ten data-sets that point to Jesus’ identity.
In the second phase we move from the WHAT to the WHO. From what we know about Jesus, we turn to what is claimed about Jesus and why - and how we can make sense of it all.
In phase three, we turn to the WHY question. Why did Jesus come? If he is whom he and his followers claimed him to be, why is that relevant to us? And, if it is relevant, how do we apply this truth to our lives?
Ludwig Wittgenstein, the most influential philosopher of the last 100 years, speaking as a modern Jewish witness to the Resurrection, said, What inclines even me to believe in Christ’s resurrection? … If he did not rise from the dead … We are in a sort of hell … cut off from heaven. But if I am to be REALLY saved, - what I need is CERTAINTY - not wisdom, dreams or speculations - and this certainty is faith. And faith is what is needed by my HEART, my SOUL, not my speculative intelligence.
Likewise, Marshall McLuhan, the prophet of the Internet, said, If I hadn’t believed it, I wouldn’t have seen it.
