What Are People Saying About Jesus? Series

We have been writing about Jesus. And our focus has been who is Jesus? what did he come for? what did he come to achieve in our world? what was is purpose here on earth? who he is and who did he come for? There are several purposes that Jesus came to do and who he actually came for. Jesus did not just come to this fallen world for himself. He came to save us from the hands of the evil one - who is called Satan or Lucifer.

He came for a specific purpose and that purpose was finally achieved by him when he was crucified over two thousand years ago now. He came to redeem us all from the hands of Satan. Satan rebelled against God in the heavens and Satan got kicked out of heaven by the angels of God when he decided to fight against God, demanding that God would leave his throne and be a servant to him, but the angels of God had to fight against his plan and kicked him to the earth, with his fallen angels that were in rebellion against God - Isaiah 14: 12 - 14 and Ezekiel 28: 12 - 18.

He was kicked out of the heavens unto the earth by the angels of God - Isaiah 14:15 and Ezekiel 28: 16 -17. And because of this we needed a Saviour that will redeem us from his hands and ways. Satan had fallen to earth and for this reason the Son of Man came to remind us of God been a Father to us all. The rebellion of Satan from the kingdom of God had made a way for us back to the kingdom of God.

We are now in the kingdom of our Father where we belonged in the first instance. We have been delivered from the evil deeds of the wicked one - who is called Lucifer or Satan or the Deceiver, he has a lot of names that we choose to use this one's as we are writing these books online.

Going back to the question that Jesus asked his disciples and us as well. Who do people say that I am? it's a question that we are all meant to ask ourselves and people that are close to us. Who is actually Jesus in our lives? Is he, our Saviour? is he, our helper? is he someone that we can trust? is he real and alive? Is he, our healer? So many questions that needs answers to them.

One thing that I need to point out about Jesus. Is the number one thing He is not a liar! the bible says in the book of Psalms 62:11 so he does not in any way lie to us his children. He simply does not and cannot lie, he is not a man that should lie, nor a human being, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good? - Numbers 23:19. Once God has spoken, he makes it good. God is a Spirit - John 4:24 and we are to worship him in spirit and in truth.

Therefore, Jesus had to ask us the same question he asked his disciples. He is asking us the same question today, who do people say he is in our lives? we can confidently say he is either our healer when I need him to heal my broken body of any form of pain or disease.

Scriptures on healing

Matthew 8 :16

When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.

Luke 4:40

When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.

Mark 3:10

For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him.

Acts 10 :38

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

Isaiah 53:5

But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities.

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

And by His stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24

Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

So therefore, we can believe for our healing, because by his stripes before he was on the cross and when he was nailed on the cross, we can believe for our healing, of course we sometimes do not get what we have asked for that does not mean that God has failed us. I was believing for my healing from a disease called Sickle Cell Disease for a long time, I was crying out every day for a long time in the most terrible pain you can ever imagine.
