If You’ve Seen Jesus, You’ve Seen God

In a world that many times denies Jesus is the Son of God, we can rest assured that Jesus is who He says He is and that is a fact!!  Other religious beliefs will tout their “founder” and deny Christ as the Savior of the World and their words and beliefs are empty at best.  We must continue to lift up the name of Jesus and thus keep His name at the forefront of our thinking and our conversations.  Even high “ranking” leaders are beginning to drift from the truth that Jesus is the only way to heaven by allowing other religious beliefs to infiltrate the ranks of the followers of The Way.  Some are saying that those of the Muslim religion serve the same God we Christians do but they are sadly mistaken and they have drifted from the purity of the Word of God.  If we try to appease those religions by accepting them as truth we water down the very foundation of our faith and do considerable damage to our core beliefs.  Acts 4:12 says “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”  No one else can give you salvation because there is no one else but Jesus.  Even in our “Christian” nation, we hear many proclaim that there are many ways to God.  But in Acts 4:12 it is clear that Jesus is the only way to heaven and not Muhammed.   

Everything we are and everything we believe comes back to Jesus.  Jesus is the Son of God and if you have seen Jesus, you have seen God.  There is no one else, no matter what those of a worldly knowledge might say.  When so-called powerful Christian leaders begin to embrace other religions as truth, then true believers need to distance themselves from those misled leaders immediately.  Just for clarification look at what the writer of Hebrews said about Jesus in Hebrews 1:3 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.   I’m from Missouri and I like things to be cut and dried and it can’t get any more cut and dried than that scripture.  If you have seen Jesus.  You have seen God.  If you have been born again, then you have a right relationship with God made possible by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, no matter what powerful Christian leaders may say.  STAY THE COURSE AND KNOW THAT MANY WILL COME PROCLAIMING THAT THEY ARE FROM GOD, BUT THEY ARE NOT!!!  The writer of Proverbs says it well in Proverbs 4:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

Jesus is life and all others are death!!
