The Biblical Jesus Dr John McElhaney

If you ask people what they believe Jesus is like, you will get many different discerptions; some would describe him as what they have seen from movies, TV, or some other media. Others would give you the description they have heard in Sunday School or Church. Others will provide you with a narrative that they have created in their mind of what they want Jesus to be. Probably none would be biblical. Today we don't wish to know the biblical Jesus, so we think we can make him be whatever we want him to be, and that will make everything turn out all right. Jesus is God; he is the creator and sustainer of the universe. He has always existed and always will. He came to earth to die on the cross for our sins. He was buried, rose again from the dead, went back to heaven, sat down at the right hand of the father on the throne, and is waiting to come back to earth to get his Church. Jesus is also a Judge; he is the one that will judge every person one day.
