The Claims of Christ

Many who doubt the existence of God have reassured themselves with the thought, "If God wanted us to believe in Him, He would appear to us."  According to the Bible, that is what God has done.  Writing in the 7th century BC, the prophet Isaiah said that God would give His people a sign.  A virgin would bear a son who would be called "God with us" (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23).  Isaiah said this Son would be called, "Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6).   The prophet also said that this child would die for His people's sins before seeing His life prolonged and honoured by God (Isaiah 53).  According to the New Testament, Jesus claimed to be that Messiah.  Under the oversight of a Roman governor named Pontius Pilate, He was crucified on charges that He claimed to be the king of Israel and that He had represented Himself as being equal with God (John 5:18).
