Was Jesus the Son of God?

Was Jesus the Son of God? It's a question that I know so many people have asked themselves for many years. In fact, it was a question I asked for a period of time. I searched through every religion under the sun looking for the answer.

I first had to ask myself....do I believe Jesus actually existed? The answer was yes. I know it has been proven by many historians that Jesus from Nazareth was a real man and did in fact walk this earth. I think most of us have generally have always believed in his existence.

Do you believe Jesus was a great teacher? Most everyone would agree that He was a very kind, humble, gentle, honest, and moral teacher. That brings us to the question if Jesus was the Son of God.... either he was in fact who he said he was, or he was the craziest man that has ever lived!!!!!!! Think about this for a moment. What if someone came around today and claimed to be the Son of God? He would be thrown into the looney bin! Not only was He claiming to be the Son of God, but He was healing the sick, raising the dead, and walking on water. He even had the audacity to say in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes through the Father except through Me".

I guess this brings us to the crossroads where you need to decide if Jesus is who He said He was, or was a raving lunatic.
