This podcast episode aims to discuss the credibility of Jesus and his exclusive claims. I will give my reaction to a video about this topic and provide scriptural support for trusting Jesus.

How credible is Jesus compared to other religious figures? Jesus claimed to be the only pathway to God. We must accept or reject His claims. I believe that out of all the religious leaders, he is credible based on the evidence.

“You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.” - C.S. Lewis, “Mere Christianity”

Jesus’s Claims About Himself

Jesus is God

“Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” - John 8:58

“God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” - Exodus 3:14

Jesus is the Only Way

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6

Jesus Forgives Sins

“And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” - Mark 2:5-7

Jesus Has Power Over Life and Death

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” - John 11:25-26

Jesus Will Judge the World

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” - Matthew 25:31-32

Jesus Accepted Worship

“Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” - John 20:28-29

From the evidence, I believe Jesus is trustworthy and credible to be who he claimed to be, God in human flesh. Do you trust Jesus?
