I am doing a report for school and I need to interview people of different religions and pose the question "Who do you say Jesus is?". I was wondering if anyone can give me a good sized response to this question. Feel free to elaborate as much as you can. Your help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Jesus is the son of God who gave himself to forgive the sins of man. That's who I say Jesus is.

What kind of school are you attending and which grade?

I am looking for more of an in depth response because it is something i need to quote in my report, not a single sentence.

Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus, and why is it important for us to know? We live in an age of religious pluralism and moral relativism.

The popular spiritual philosophy, especially after the events of September 11th, is that all religious belief systems, as long as heart-felt, are equal. Pick one and follow it sincerely, and you’ll get to Heaven. That’s what the world believes, but Jesus teaches otherwise.

Therefore, we need to examine who Jesus is by looking at some of the questions people frequently ask about Him. The answers are found in the Bible, the historical evidence people have trusted for over 2000 years.

Who is Jesus? He Was 100% Man

According to John 1:14, Jesus became flesh and made His dwelling among us. Why is His humanity so important? In Hebrews 4:15, Jesus was tempted in every way, just as we are. As such, Jesus can sympathize with our weakness as humans. What can we learn from the way Jesus handled temptation? According to 1 John 3:5, Jesus came to earth in human form so that He could die a physical death and take away our sins. How would we all be affected, if we had no potential for escape from our sins?
Jesus is the key to membership in God’s family. When He stooped to our level by becoming a man, He made it possible for us to relate to Him and for God to relate to us through Him.
Who is Jesus? He Was 100% God
Who is Jesus, and how was it possible that Christ’s human body held the whole deity and glory of God?

According to John 1:1-3, Jesus existed from the beginning. From the beginning, Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God. Here, the Bible establishes the inseparable nature of Jesus and the God of the Universe. The following verses provide further evidence that Jesus is 100% God:

Highlights of Christ's Time on Earth & the verses:
· Miracles: Luke 7:22
· Eyewitnesses to His perfect life: Matthew 16:13-17
· Fulfillment of Prophecy: Matthew 13:14, Luke 24:44
· Jesus' own identification/claim: John 10:30-38, Matthew 16:13-
17, Mark 14:61-64
· Claims of Christ's followers: Hebrews 1:8, Colossians 1:16, John
12:40 (quoting Isaiah 6:1-10)
· Resurrection: Luke 24:39, Mark 8:31, Acts 17:32
Jesus is the key to membership in God’s family. When He established His deity by rising from the grave, He made it possible for us to have forgiveness from sin and a renewed relationship with God.
Who is Jesus? He is the Way to Heaven
Who is Jesus, and why is He the only path to salvation?

In John 14:6, Jesus declares: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Why is it important to know that NO other religious leaders throughout history have ever made these claims? According to Ephesians 2:8-9, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.” How does this contrast with other world religions which are based on “works” versus faith in Jesus and the resurrection? If we can’t build a relationship with God by doing good deeds or repeating rituals, what must we do? Acts 4:12 is clear, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

I believe this will help you.
Now maybe you could answer my question:

What kind of school do you attend and which grade are you in?

Ta5kmaster

9th grade, a private catholic school. Was that from a website? I am looking for someone's personal response, one that was not plagerized. I am suppose to interview people I know and propose this question to them, but I do not know any catholic, jewish, islam, or any religious people that have a strong faith that can give me an intelligent, good response. Please post if you can provide that.

Struick

Yes, it came from a website that I have listed under my bookmarks.

I would tell you the same thing as I posted.
I gave you the proper answer to your question.


I gave you a proper answer to your question.
Howcome you don't know any Catholic people if you go to a Catholic private school?

Nice post brother- this topic is so big it could take weeks to completely cover the topic for Jesus is seen in every one of the 66 books of the bible-
HE IS GOD:
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

HE IS THE WORD:
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

HE IS THE LAMB:
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Rev 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

HE IS SAVIOUR:
2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Tit 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Tit 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Tit 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Act 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

HE IS LORD:
Phi 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Phi 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Tak5kmaster this could go on and on the subject is endless but as my brother Struick recomended "you must be born againto see the kingdom of God" and if you really want to know who Jesus is then simply pray this prayer and open your heart to him- Jesus thank you for dying for my sins, I know like everyone I have fallen short of the Glory of God, please come into my heart and make me new, teach me your ways and be my Lord, thank you Jesus that my life is changed ans I will never be the same!
If you pray this pray you will have opened the door to your heart and YOU WILL KNOW JESUS, He will become a reality in your life, He will give you a hunger for His Word and His Presence Your life will take on new meaning and your eyes will be opened to His goodness- IF YOU WANT TO WRITE A REPORT THAN I SUGGEST YOU TRY THIS AND MEET HIM YOURSELF- your report will certainly take on a new dimension!
