Who is this Jesus
Christ? |
Almost from the beginning of time great
minds have been set on the above question. Who is this Jesus Christ?
Brilliant scholars have wrestled with this question after all the academic
knowledge has led them to know that All Knowledge proceeds from
the Eternal God of all Creation. Yes, most of these scholars have come to
believe that there is truly a Supreme God, buit they say and think, "Who
is this Christ?" and "Who is this Jesus?" There was
a time when a man named Zophar, evidently a man of knowledge and wisdom spoke to
Job when Job was going through a testing in regard to his loyalty, love and
belief in God at a time of some 4,000 years ago. These are the words of
Zophar to Job written in the Book of Job 11:7-9:
"Can you search out the deep things
of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty? 8 They are
higher than heaven -- what can you do? Deeper than Sheol
-- what can you know? 9 Their measure is longer than the earth And broader
than the sea." NKJV
To all of this admonition,
Job makes some astonishing statements. There are several such very suited
to give great enlightenment to the believing reader. For
purposes to answer our subject question, I want to only quote a portion of Job's
answer for you:
"He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of
death to light.
23 He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and
guides them.
24 He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And
makes them wander in a pathless wilderness."
(Job 12:22-24)
"The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old. 23 I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was
ever an earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were
no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, Before
the hills, I was brought forth; 26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primal dust of the world. 27 When He prepared the heavens, I was
there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28 When He established the
clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
9 When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And my delight was with the sons of men." (Prov 8:2-31)
Dan 2:22
22 He reveals deep and secret things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And light dwells with Him.
NKJV
1 Cor 2:7-8
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God
ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age
knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
NKJV
1 Cor 2:10-12
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches
all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a
man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the
things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit
of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that
have been freely given to us by God.
NKJV
1 Cor 2:14-16
14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for
they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is
rightly judged by no one. 16 For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may
instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
NKJV
