How We Know That Jesus is God and Man: The Incarnation of Infinity

The answer to the question Who is Jesus? affects everything about our lives. This is the case because what Jesus followers through the centuries have claimed about him is that Jesus is God and man that: Jesus is the human locus of the divine the human face of Godthe incarnation of the Second Person of the Tri-personal Godthe Eternal Word made flesh.And BECAUSE Jesus is God and man He is the Redeemer of the human race who negated a primordial cursethe Savior who delivers us from our enslavement to evil and the danger of final damnationthe transmitter of the very Life of God.If Jesus is indeed whom he and his followers say he is then he is nothing less than the fulcrum of human history and human destiny.In this work we will try to show that Jesus is the Incarnation of Infinity. God and man and therefore our Savior.We will do this in three phases: WHAT WHO and WHYIn the first phase the WHAT we consider what is known what is virtually indisputable about Jesus. We review the top ten data-sets that point to Jesus identity.In the second phase we move from the WHAT to the WHO. From what we know about Jesus we turn to what is claimed about Jesus and why - and how we can make sense of it all.In phase three we turn to the WHY question. Why did Jesus come? If he is whom he and his followers claimed him to be why is that relevant to us? And if it is relevant how do we apply this truth to our lives?Ludwig Wittgenstein the most influential philosopher of the last 100 years speaking as a modern Jewish witness to the Resurrection said What inclines even me to believe in Christs resurrection? ... If he did not rise from the dead ... We are in a sort of hell ... cut off from heaven. But if I am to be REALLY saved - what I need is CERTAINTY - not wisdom dreams or speculations - and this certainty is faith. And faith is what is needed by my HEART my SOUL not my speculative intelligence.Likewise Marshall McLuhan the prophet of the Internet said If I hadnt believed it I wouldnt have seen it.
