Why Jesus?

Is your faith helping you in most ways to become a good,caring, gentle and exemplary individual in your family, neighbors, friends, workplace, and to your whole multicultural community? Well, if not, probably you are being misled by your own faith.

I, with all due respect, don’t hold anything against any other religions even though some of them would strike me for whatever reasons they may have. 

I respect the fact that each of us has our own unique way of believing our own God or Savior .We think differently that’s why we have different faith. I don’t know what your basis is or how you chose them but I’m here to humbly present why I chose Jesus as my Lord and Savior. And this may hopefully help you out of your doubts or misery right now.

Here are the main reasons why Jesus is the Only one Messiah and Savior of all people.

1.  Jesus’ birth,life,death and resurrection was foretold by many prophets in the Old testament.

*See also Numbers 24:17-19 Jeremiah 23:5, Malachi 3:1, Isaiah 9:6, and Deuteronomy 18:15

2. He is the only one who performed miracles. (Mark 3:9-10)

3. He is the only one who sacrificed himself for all mankind. (John 1:29 and 10:18)

God gave His only son and whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. (John 3:16)

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. (Titus 3:4)

God purchased us by His own blood. (Acts 20:28)

4. He was raised from the dead. (Matthew 28:6)
 Therefore, He is the only living amongst the other sages

Our preaching and prayers would be empty if our Lord and Savior is dead.

(1 Corinthians 15:14)

5. He is the only one who offers salvation and peace in the most gentle and optimistic way and not by threat.

I have called you friends. (John 15:15)

*See also  Romans 10:9-13, John 14:13, Matthew 6:33,Hebrew 11:6

Jesus, the son of God, paid for our sins through the cross. We don’t know Him, but he knows each one of us. He cares and loves us despite our differences and ignorance. He was sitting on the right hand of God and all of a sudden He was sent to go to this earth and pay for all our sins He didn’t make. He humbly descended down to this earth in human form like us. He offers love and salvation. Why do we turn down this incomparable offer?

You might not care about it, but He does no matter what you’ve done.
