Not many people dispute the fact that Jesus was a Jewish historical figure who lived over 2000 years ago. The contro versy over Jesus is whether He was who He claimed to be - the Messiah, the Savior of sin ners. Some claim He was a great teacher, or even a prophet, but not the Messiah. But, if he was not the Messiah, then His claim that He IS the Savior of sinners was a lie. How could Jesus be a “great teacher” if He lied about who He was? If he was not a liar, He is who He claims to be. He was and is the Messiah, and we joyfully celebrate His birth again this Christmas!
