Jesus Christ is not merely the greatest man who ever lived. He is "God with us" - truly God and truly Man. God says, "I am who I am" (Exodus 3:14). Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58). We cannot say how Jesus Christ can be "God with us". We cannot understand how He can be truly God and truly man. We do not, however, have the right to say, "A true man cannot at the same time be truly God." We must acknowledge the truth of God's Word which says, ""With God nothing will be impossible" (Luke 1:37). Looking at the Man, Jesus Christ, we have no right to say that His life began at Bethlehem. We must acknowledge the truth of Jesus' words, "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58). These words indicate to us that Jesus Christ is the eternal God. We have no right to say that God cannot take on human form. Who are we to say what God can do and what God cannot do? If we believe that God is Almighty, how can we doubt His power to become Man in the person of Jesus Christ? Scripture makes it clear that Jesus Christ is more than a mere man since He is no less than God Almighty.
