During this time, many are still confuse of who Jesus is. And divulge the following questions in mind.
1. Is Jesus the Son of God?
2. Was Jesus born naturally?
3. His lineage?
4. What He looks like?
5. Body figure of Jesus?
6. Jesus’ mentality?
7. Did he play games in his youth?
8. Did Jesus work for money?
9. His language?
10. His Attitude?
11. His Purpose?
12. Did he get married?
13. Who were his friends?
14. When was Jesus born and died?
15. Did Jesus resurrect?
16. Where is he now?
17. Will Jesus come again?
I would like to insinuate the readers that as a man in this twentieth century period, that I had not witnessed who Jesus literally when He came to this earth. But I can share to you who He is in unison with the writings of the ancient prophets and apostles about Him, the Son of God, the mystery of Christ, and the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Is Jesus the Son of God?
From the beginning of Jewish history Jesus was already prophesied to come in the latter generation. But this message was delivered mysteriously to them and hid his name as Messiah to the intent that his coming will be kept secret to the devils. Whether we will read the Gospel in the New Testament scriptures we can therefore say that the devil was also waiting of His coming, but then he cannot identify the One who was and is to come because as I have said earlier; it was a mysterious/prophetic/poetic message. Here are a few verses that will show how the devil tempted Jesus but failed.
If you notice from the given verses, Jesus did not answer the devil a word that he is the Son of God, but he said to obey the Law of commandments as it is written. Thus the devil failed in tempting Jesus and so he left. Thereafter, Jesus was crucified because the devils were being blinded of who the Son of God is. By the way, the devils mentioned here were the unbelieving generation of Israel and some were priests of the Jews, the princes of Israel’s world.
Years after, at the time of his crucifixion the devils had tried to ask him again twice. The same approach of the devil in the wilderness, the high priest asked him and wanted him to prove something if He was the Son of God saying “If thou be the Son of God”.
Now Jesus answered the devil and said; “Thou hast said,” as also declared by God at his baptism in the river of Jordan saying “This is my beloved Son.”
Henceforth; can you say now that Jesus was the Christ, and the Son of God?

Whether we will read the Gospel in the New Testament scriptures we can therefore say that the devil was also waiting of His coming, but then he cannot identify the One who was and is to come because as I have said earlier; it was a mysterious/prophetic/poetic message. Here are a few verses that will show how the devil tempted Jesus but failed.
- Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
- Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
If you notice from the given verses, Jesus did not answer the devil a word that he is the Son of God, but he said to obey the Law of commandments as it is written. Thus the devil failed in tempting Jesus and so he left. Thereafter, Jesus was crucified because the devils were being blinded of who the Son of God is. By the way, the devils mentioned here were the unbelieving generation of Israel and some were priests of the Jews, the princes of Israel’s world.
- 1 Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Years after, at the time of his crucifixion the devils had tried to ask him again twice. The same approach of the devil in the wilderness, the high priest asked him and wanted him to prove something if He was the Son of God saying “If thou be the Son of God”.
- Mat 26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
- Mat 27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Now Jesus answered the devil and said; “Thou hast said,” as also declared by God at his baptism in the river of Jordan saying “This is my beloved Son.”
- Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Henceforth; can you say now that Jesus was the Christ, and the Son of God?
