5. Who is in Reality Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world.

Even his name – Jesus Christ – has this meaning: The Saviour sent by God, to save mankind from eternal death.

Besides, there should be well known that he is at the same time the only saviour, as it is written:

”12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

(Acts 4.12)

With reference to this man, the Bible lets us know an extraordinary and exclusive feature, that is not to be attributed to any other human being.
Thus says the apostle John:

”14 ... we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.”

(1 John 4.14)

Right after follows the clarification about who the father and who the son is:

”15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.”

(1 John 4.15)

It will do to read only the first chapter of the Gospel of John and to our astonishment we will learn who Jesus in reality was and is, he, whom most people perceive but being ”the one, who had been nailed on the cross”.
In reality, his person is far away beyond our power of imagination.

We all know that the word is the most common and important human communication medium: the spoken word, the written or printed word, or at the beginning the word chiseled in stone.

Also by means of the word God created at the beginning all creation: the universe, the earth, the planets and all living creatures, and finally the man, each time saying: ”Let there be ...”, and as he spoke, ”it was so”.

Genesis, the first Bible’s book, begins as follows:

”1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1.1)

The Gospel of John begins with a striking resemblance:

"1 In the beginning was the Word ...” (John 1.1)

Is it just coincidental that the Gospel of John begins with the same words?
John refers here to the concept of the ”word”. But this word is attributed to a ... person! Who is this person?

This is being revealed to us gradually from one vers to another:

”1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.”

(John 1.1.-15)

From this logical succession we learn an astonishing truth:
The man Jesus is the Son of God, he himself God, born from God since evermore, before creation of universe.
Moreover, we learn even of his feature of being the Creator of the universe.

Immediately after The Fall of Man and hence the necessity of his salvation, God the Father decided that his Son shall be born on earth as a human being, to become this way the Saviour of all people.
The moment of his coming on earth had happened about 2000 years ago.

He is no other than the Word that ”was made flesh”.
