Part 3 Who is He really?

In the last few blogs on this subject of “Who is He really” I shared with you several points.  So far I shared with you Who Jesus is, What did He do, and Why did He die for us. I want to continue on with my next point:

How did He do it? How did He reconcile us?

The answer begins with through the blood of His (Jesus) cross.  The blood is foundational to our faith. In the Holy Bible a man by the name of Paul writes wanting to make it abundantly clear that it was the sacrifice Jesus made on Calvary’s cross that saved us from our sins, not simply His teaching. The Holy Bible says, “In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight” (Colossians 1:22 KJV)

Knowledge by itself cannot save us. It is what Jesus did on the cross, by paying the price for our sins that offers us salvation. Knowledge of that sacrifice offers us the opportunity to accept His free gift of grace. But in order to be useful knowledge it must be founded upon truth, so just thinking that Jesus died for our sins, or just wishing it were so would not help us. Jesus, as God in the flesh, died for our sins and rose again. That’s what enables us to be reconciled to God.

But Paul goes on to make another point that is aimed at contradicting false teaching.

The Body of His flesh through death – Jesus died physically, He was and is fully God and fully human. He could not have died a physical death were He not Human, He could not have been a sacrifice for our sins were He not divine. It is absolutely essential to our faith that we understand Jesus came in the flesh.

In my next blog I am going to cover Why did He do it? Why did Jesus Die for us?
