Who is Jesus? Intro

          

          The celebration began as the devil gloated over his success of deceiving Eve into disobeying God. The plan was to destroy God’s wonderful creation by masterfully plotting to convincingly mix truth with error, and having her to believe that God was keeping something from them. After all, God had given Adam and Eve access to everything in the garden with the exception of one fruit-bearing tree. The tree that possessed the knowledge of both good and evil.

What was it about that particular tree that God would forbid them to not only touch, but to even eat of its seemingly delights? After all, the snake, with whom she was having the intriguing conversation, was enjoying the branches and intertwined in the leaves of that very tree without a single bit of hesitation as she watched his every move. Eve’s thoughts pondered the warning that had been given to them, but the snake’s words were more enticing to her ears and curiosity penetrated her mind, for God had to have been denying them a great pleasure that they deserved to have or was He?

After weighing her options, with unknowingly half-truths, she reached, touched, plucked, ate and then shared the forbidden fruit with her husband. What a day of great celebration it was for the devil and his demonic host. He had successfully deceived God’s created beings as he had done in Heaven. Now, he had gotten revenge for the ultimate eviction that he had received as Lucifer. But wait! There was something that he hadn’t taken into consideration.

God had a plan that the devil knew nothing about. This plan of God would put a major kink into things, for Satan’s aim was for the complete destruction of mankind. No one could possibly undo what had been done or so he thought. No, God would not even think of doing something that insane or would He? Everything would have been lost, but God was not about to allow that to happen. A plan had been made. The devil had been put on notice. His victory would be temporary.  His demonic rule would come to an end. His reign had a term limit. He would be replaced as the god of this world with the King of kings and Lord of lords. God’s son, Yeshua Ha-Machiach, Jesus the Messiah would come to uncoil the devil’s plans. JESUS was and is His name. The question is then asked, “Who is Jesus?”
