What does Christ Jesus mean unto you?
I pray that this question might reach deep into your soul. You have already made a decision about Jesus Christ. Doing nothing is a decision, you have come to a conclusion that he is not important for me. Then in your mind you believe that he was just a man. Some people believe that he was a good man, others believe he was a great teacher. Some even believe that he was a prophet just like so many different prophets in all the religions of this world. Some believe he was a man used by God as Moses was. Some people believe he was blaspheme, others believe he was a deceiver, others believe he was the son of Joseph and Mary. Some might even believe that he came from another planet because there must be life on other planets. Some believe he is just a folk tale.
Now where do we go to find the truth about Jesus Christ the Lord? There are only two places. What men say or to God! Then I ask this question to you personally. Who will you trust for this answer? God or Men.
God only communicates to us today through his written scriptures. The Word of God. The Holy Bible. The Holy Bible has proven itself over the centuries and is preserved by God himself. It will be here when this universe melts in fervent heat. Mankind will have no excuse to say I never heard the Truth of The Gospel.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
So what does the Word of God say about Jesus Christ?
A Message that Paul was preaching to the Jews and the Gentiles that feared God:

Ac 13:23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
