A QUICK VIDEO ON WHO JESUS CHRIST IS
There are many perceptions and views on who Jesus Christ is. We would like to use the Holy Bible to present to you who Jesus Christ is. This list is derived from the scriptures and it is very long…. But please take the time to read through them all so you can begin to understand who Jesus is.

THE MESSIAH
(John 4:25–26) 25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.” 26 Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
THE CHRIST
(Luke 9:20) “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

THE CREATOR
(John 1:3) Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
(Colossians 1:16) For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
THE AUTHOR OF LIFE
(Acts 3:15) You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of the fact.
THE AUTHOR AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH
(Hebrews 12:2) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
THE ADVOCATE
(1 John 2:1) My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
(John 10:14-16) 14 I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me, 15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.
THE CHIEF SHPHERD
(1 Peter 5:4) And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST
(Hebrews 4:14) Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.
THE BRANCH
(Jeremiah 23:5-6) Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.
THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN
(John 6:32-33) 32 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
THE BREAD OF LIFE
(John 6:35) Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. 36 But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.
THE CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL
(Luke 2:25-26) 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
THE CORNERSTONE
(Psalm 118:22) The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone
(Luke 17:17-18) 17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’? 18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
THE COUNSELLOR
(Isaiah 9:6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

THE GATE
(John 10:7–9) So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
THE GLORY OF THE LORD
(Isaiah 40:5) And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
(2 Corinthians 4:6) For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH
(Ephesians 1:22) And He put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
(Colossians 1:17-18) 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.
THE HEIR OF ALL THINGS
(Hebrews 1:1–2) 1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. 2 But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.
THE HIGH PRIEST
(Hebrews 7:26–28) 26 Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

THE KING OF THE JEWS
(Matthew 2:1-2) 1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, 2 asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

THE LORD OF GLORY
(1 Corinthians 2:8) None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
THE FINAL PASSOVER LAMB
(1 Corinthians 5:7) Cleanse out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are, unleavened. For also Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed,
(Revelation 5:12) saying in a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb having been slain, to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
THE MASTER (TEACHER & LORD)
(John 13:13-17) 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them
THE MEDIATOR
(1 Timothy 2:5, 6) 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
(Hebrews 9:15) Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

THE SPIRITUAL ROCK
(1 Corinthians 10:3-4) 3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
THE TRUE LIGHT
(John 1:9) The true Light who enlightens every man was coming into the world.
(John 3:19-21) 19 And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”
THE TRUE VINE

THE LAST ADAM
(1 Corinthians 15:45-49) 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
THE AMEN
(Revelation 3:14) To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation.
