Who is Jesus?

John 3:16 (KJV)

^“ For God so loved the world,  that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Was there ever a time in your life when you were like doubting Thomas and you had to see God to believe God? Maybe not. But for me there was such a time. After about a year of praying for revelation after doubting, I gave up the faith and praying for about 3 months.  Then revelation came. I seen Jesus in a vision and he showed me his hands and feet and back and told me to read John 3 and 4. So today, I want to talk about who Jesus is according to these 2 chapters in John as God revealed himself to me.

First, we see in verse 2 that Nicodemus acknowledges that Jesus came from God and that God is with him.

John 3:2 (KJV)

“The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.”

Then in verse 13 we see that Jesus came down from heaven and He is the Son of man. The Son of man is mentioned also in verse 14 as well as having eternal life in Him.

John 3:13 (KJV)

“And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

John 3:16 tells us that Jesus is the only begotten Son and faith in Him gives us everlasting life.

John 3:16 (KJV)

^“For God so loved the world,  that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

We find our Savior in verse 17 and we are saved through Him.

John 3:17 (KJV)

^“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

Jesus is Light.

John 3:19 (KJV)

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

He is the bridegroom.

John 3:29 (KJV)

 ^“He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.”

Jesus comes from heaven and is above all.

John 3:31 (KJV)

“He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.”

He testifies of the truth, is sent of God, full of the Spirit, all things are His, and we have everlasting life in Him if we believe.

John 3:32-36 (KJV)

“And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

In John 4 we find that Jesus is the gift of God and living water…

John 4:10 (KJV)

^“Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”

And last but not least we see Jesus as a prophet…

John 4:17-19 (KJV)

“The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.”

Messiah the Christ…

John 4:25-26 (KJV)

“The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.”

 Savior of the world…

John 4:41-42 (KJV)

 ^“And many more believed because of his own word; And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.”

… and Healer.

John 4:47-53 (KJV)

^“When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.”

This was a profound revelation, especially being in the state of unbelief I was in. Giving thanks for His amazing grace! If I were to count the many times He saved me from myself, I would lose count. Just have and faith and believe. That is all folks!

Walk in the Spirit,
