COT:
Read John 1:1-3
These words are pretty crazy when you think about it. Jesus is God. Jesus was there at the beginning. Jesus actually was the one who made everything. There’s no getting around it this is a crazy truth that Christians must believe. We are not given an option in scripture to accept Jesus as only a great moral teacher in a pluralistic group of other religions. Jesus believed that he was God and savior of the world and so did his first followers. What do you think about this? Have you ever considered it from this angle? He was either crazy or who he said he was. If we believe Jesus is who he said that he was, we believe in something pretty wild and crazy. But just because something is crazy doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
