Who is Jesus?

He is the Son of God.

Am I not also a child of God?  Am I not also a son of God?  Is there any difference between Jesus and myself?

Yes - we are sons and daughters of God - but Jesus is different - He is God Himself

But how do you know He is God Himself?

The Bible tells me so.

Where in the Bible does it say so?

John 1:1, 14 Referring to Jesus as the Word, John writes: "In the beginning was the Word...and the Word was God.  The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

But where did John get the idea that Jesus is God? 

Jesus must have told him and the rest of His disciples.  The idea that a human being can be God is repulsive to most Jewish minds.  All Jews are taught from childhood that there is only one God in heaven - besides Him there is no other! 

But this is the starting point of the Christian faith - we believe that Jesus' claim concerning Himself is true - He is truly God and truly human at the same time.
