"A Man or a God?"

A Man or a God?


Sadek El Maghreby from Suddan asks:
How can a man, a human being, convince those around him that he s a God? Isn't this truly blaspheming God, for a man to say that he is God, even he were good prophet?

I agree with you in believing that is any man or prophet claimed to be God, then that would certainly be blaspheming against the true God.

but our Lord Essah Christ was not merely a man, or a good prophet, because if he were so, God could have sent others like him in the following generations. God did not do so, because Christ was different from all human beings and will never be repeated, for he is God appearing in the flesh.

Our Lord Essah Christ speaks about himself saying: " I am the Bread of Life. No one coming to me will ever be hungry again. Those believing in me will

never thirst." (John 6:35)

And hear him say: "Let not your heart be troubled. You are trusting God, now trust in me. I am the way - yes, and the Truth and the Life ... No one can get to the Father except by means of me. ...Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.: (John 14:1-9)

Do you agree with me, dear reader, that never before has a prophet or an apostle spoken like this about himself?

Like you, I question: "Can God enter the world as a human being? Can God be incarnated in the person of Lord Essah Christ?"

Whoever says that this cannot take place is actually saying that God is unable to do this, hence questioning God's ability. whereas God can appear in anyway that he likes. Did God not appear in the burning bush and call Moses and say: "I am God, the God of all people"?

If God appeared to Moses in the burning bush, can he not appear to us in the person of Lord Essah Christ? God's incarnation is a unique event by which God is fulfilling his plan for man's redemption, your redemption and mine, from the fore of hell.

And now let us think about the following facts:

First     God became a man and entered our in a unique way, different from the way in which all human beings come into the world. Did God not send his Spirit to give Mary an intelligent young lad, whom he made a sign of his mercy to the people? The coming of our Lord Essah to earth, by being born of a virgin, is a unique miracle.

Second     Our Lord Essah, in contrast to all saints and prophets, lived without falling into any sins. Who other than him said: "Which of you can truthfully accuse me of one single sin?" (John 8:46) History testifies that our Lord Essah is the world's ethical miracle. He is the living proof of holiness and goodness. Christ the Lord is the only one who never sinned, and in his mouth there was no deceit.

Third     Because Christ the Lord is God appearing in the flesh, he did supernatural miracles. Listen to what he says about himself: " Go and announce what you have seen and heard, that the blind see, the crippled walk, the sick are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are hearing the good news." He said so the messengers of John the Baptist 9our Lord Yahia) when they asked him: " Are you the Saviour or shall we wait for another?"

have you seen anyone like him who can cure those who have leprosy? have you ever seen any power like his authority over nature, sickness, evil spirits, and death?

Fourth     Our Lord Essah Christ said: "I am the resurrection and the life. Because I am alive you also will live." Our Lord Essah Christ gave himself and died for us, he was buried and on the third day he rose again. You will never find historical evidence for any other event like that for the resurrection. The resurrection of our Lord Essah Christ is the greatest proof that he is God.

Finally     The effective power of our Lord Essah Christ is still perfect and complete. he is the only one who left his tomb empty, and because he is alive, by his Holy Spirit he meets with all human

beings from al nations so that their lives are changed, their sins are forgiven and they gain the assurance of eternal happiness in heaven.

And now hear him calling you: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

If you are suffering under the heaviness of sin and feelings of guilt, come to him, he will comfort you and grant you forgiveness of sins. He was crucified especially for your sake, and he rose from the dead to grant you salvation, deliverance and eternal life.

Do not delay, for now is the right and acceptable time.
