Jesus Christ is truly the hope of our sinful world. The Prophet Isaiah calls him, ..."Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). The name Jesus means, "Yahweh is Savior." Why? Because "...He will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).
That's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Belief or unbelief does not change what is true. When the early explorers believed that the Earth was flat, that didn't change the shape of the Earth. As they investigated further, they discovered their error and truth was made known to them and they accepted it.
1 John 1:1-3 states that God manifested his love toward us through his son Jesus Christ. Christ died on the cross to redeem the world from sin (John 3:16). If we turn from sin and accept his salvation, He will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Jesus was resurrected from the grave and conquered the one thing that Satan brought to this Earth--Death (through sin). Christ then ascended into Heaven and is inviting people to Him and interceeding on our behalf. There is salvation in no one else. Luke testified, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus testified of himself, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).
Behold, Jesus will come again. His return is imminent. It will be literal. It will be visible by the whole world. It will be loud.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come (Matthew 24:42).
