Headmaster’s
Corner
by
Steve Cummings
WAS HE THE MESSIAH?
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!
