From the Contagious Christian CD comes an interview of a number of people who are asked simply, "Who is Jesus?" The answers range from the absolutely true to the absolutely outrageous. Here they are. Maybe your own answer is one of them.

"Jesus is God."

"Savior of the Christian faith."

"He died in Israel."

"He is one of the gods."

"Palestinian Jew living around the year 0-30."

"A religious leader."

"I think He was just a person that was really smart and wanted to make the world a better place or something."

"He's a topic that I don't want to discuss."

"Savior of the world."

"The man who's gonna lead us into the promised land in the next life."

"A higher power above all things that no one can understand."

"Jesus is a rabbi that was in the first century."

"I believe Jesus was a prophet trying to create a new branch of Judaism, and I believe that they took what His preachings were and later on made it into something which I don't believe it was at all intended to be. I don't think Jesus ever called Himself the Son of God."

"Probably He's a mythological figure that actually lived and I think we've developed His persona over the years."

"Possible fictional, possibly real person."

"My understanding is that He was a historical figure who played prominently in a whole lot of stuff."

"Jesus is a historical character."

"I'm sure He existed and was a great guy and stuff."

"He was a very enlightened and spiritual being, and I think He came to earth to teach us a few things."

"I kinda believe in my heart that He was probably the world's greatest prophet we ever had, you know, someone to learn from His lessons and kinda change the shape of mankind. There's no denyin' that. Big historical figure."

"Very holy man who lived a long time ago."

"Man who walks around in a robe. And sandals. Long hair. He looks like my uncle, actually."

"Can I say I'm not sure, I don't know? The guy in the Bible, I guess."

"Is that a trick question?"

"Jesus is the Son of God."

"Some people believe He's the Son of God. I don't."

"That's a good question, and I don't think I have an answer, Who Jesus is."

How about you? Do you have an answer? Let me suggest some answers, that come from the pages of the Christian Bible.
