What do you
think of when you hear the name Jesus?
Many people
believe in Jesus as the Son of God, a great teacher, a prophet, or the Savior
of all mankind. But many do not believe that he is all of these. Although, throughout
the scriptures, he is described as each of those. So, then the question you
must ask your self is do you believe the Bible to be completely accurate. I
believe this book is God's word and that it is accurate. It can be perceived
many different ways, but how do you view it? What do you believe?
C.S. Lewis in his book Mere Christianity writes the following: “I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [Jesus Christ]: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that option open to us. He did not intend to.”Who does Jesus claim to be?

Jesus claimed to be one with God, and the Jews tried to stone him for it, but each time he "eluded their grasp." Mainly because, it wasn't His time yet.
Jesus was a man that many people prophesied would be born. He was born to a woman that had never had sex, and she was completely beside herself when she was told about it. I guess id be a little shocked as well, if my daughter told me she was pregnant, but that she had never had sex with anyone. I wouldn't believe her, would you? no one in their right mind would because we know what has to happen in order to give birth to a child. We have baby's in our world that are known as miracle babies. babies that should not have been born, let alone still be alive. the birth of Jesus is something that cannot be explained by science. There were a few things that had to happen in order for Jesus to be born. Counting of the people and traveling and where he was to be born.
There are at least 44 different prophesies that the life of Jesus fulfills.
http://christianity.about.com/od/biblefactsandlists/a/Prophecies-Jesus.htmAfter the birth of Jesus recorded in the Bible,
There was no more mention of him in the
scriptures until he was about age 12,
where he disappears from his family and is found having a conversations about
God, his father, with the religious leaders in the temple. After he was found
in the temple, there is again nothing mentioned about him in the Bible until he
is about 30.
Why did all this happen?

Jesus lived, so that, the spiritually sick would have healing, and that the lost would have a new direction.
