But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” —Mark 14:62-63
We are taught consistently that this world and the world of God are incompatible. The Earth is a place of sin and evil, and the Lord is the epitome of love and perfection. So how is it that Jesus was the son of God and the son of man? That’s precisely what makes His sacrifice for us so special. Jesus was born of a virgin chosen by God, bringing Him into this world in the most perfect way possible as a man. Since He was conceived through Mary only, His conception was also divine. He is the only one to ever be born of both worlds. Adam and Eve were created from the dust of the Earth, and the angels were made in Heaven. Christ’s unique life was the only one equipped to be of man, but also completely without sin. There will come a time (or many times) in a Christian’s life when they will be asked, “What think ye of Christ?” It’s important that we are prepared to answer, but also that we believe what we say. Christians, by definition, believe Christ was the true, living son of God and man. They know He was born to this Earth and that He led a life completely without sin (although not without temptation). They also know He is still alive, preparing a place for us in Heaven so we can join Him and the Father after death. Today, ask yourself what you truly think of Christ. Do your beliefs line up with what the Bible tells us? Are you ready to share your thoughts with others?
