"When the Son of Man comes in his glory,
and all the angels with him,
he will sit upon his glorious throne,
and all the nations will be assembled before

But he knew his vision
and mission in life: The heavenly
Father has sent
him on a mission.
John 4:25-26 (Samaritan
woman at the well)
The woman said to him,
"I know that the Messiah is
coming, the one called the
Anointed; when he comes, he
will tell us everything."
Jesus said to her, "I am he, the
one who is speaking with you."
Even today,
people
thought he
was just
“ONE”
ONE of
those moral
and religious
teachers.
 Neither Buddha, Confucius or
Mohammed or other leaders ever
claimed to be God.
Only JESUS.
He claimed that he has
ALL the authority:

Matthew 28:18
Then Jesus
approached and said
to them,
"All power in heaven
and on earth has
been given to
me.”....
He forgives sin,
sin a
role only God has.

Mark 2:5 (Paralytic

lowered from the roof)
When Jesus saw their
faith, he said to the
paralytic,
"Child, your sins are
forgiven."
 Jesus told people that their sins
were forgiven, and never w ai ted
to consult all the other people
whom their sins had undoubtedly
injured.
He behaved
as if he was
the party
chiefly
concerned,
the person
chiefly
offended in
all offenses.
 And unless he
is God, Jesus
cannot just
forgive you for
sinning against
your
fellowmen!
He gives life just like God does.

John 5:21
For just as the Father
raises the dead and
gives life,
so also does the Son
give life to whomever
he wishes.
 He claims straightforwardly to be
God. He applies the name of God
“I AM” to himself.

John 8:57-58
So the Jews said to him,
"You are not yet fifty
years old and you have
seen Abraham?" Jesus
said to them,
"Amen, amen, I say to
you, before Abraham
came to be, I AM."
Jesus received the worship from
Apostles Thomas & Peter and he
never corrected him if it was wrong.

John 20:28
Thomas
answered and
said to him,
"My Lord and
my God!"
Matthew 16:15 - 16

He said to them,
"But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter said in reply,
"You are the Messiah,
the Son of the living God."
The Heavenly Father
confirms the claim of
Jesus
John 11:41-42 (Raising
Lazarus from the dead)
And Jesus raised his
eyes and said,
"Father, I thank you
for hearing me. I know
that you always hear
me; but because of the
crowd here I have said
this, that they may
believe that you sent
me."

 John1:1-2 & 14
In the beginning was the
Word,
and the Word was with
God,
and the Word was God.
And the Word became
flesh
and made his dwelling
among us...
The most
conclusive
proof
is that

God raised
Jesus up
from the
dead.
A man who was merely a man and
saying all sort of things that Jesus
said, would not just be a great
moral preacher...

Why?
Why?
Why?
Because either this man was and
is
the Son of God
or
He is a liar, a lunatic, a madman or
something worse –
a demon.
 JESUS
IS INVITING YOU
TO HAVE A
PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP
WITH HIM.

JESUS IS ASKING
YOU
TO ACCEPT HIM AS
YOUR PERSONAL
LORD
AND SAVIOR.
