Who is Jesus to you? The Book of Revelation teaches us that, Jesus is Lord of lords and King of kings to even those who don’t know Christ and who have not yet bent the knee to this God-Man, who is coming to judge the world. Paul boldly preached to the Philippians that Someday every single knee will bow and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord, including those who are under the earth (now dead) and who are alive at His second coming; and every single tongue of all who have ever lived will confess that Jesus is Lord and God.
Who is Jesus to the world? Some people teach that Jesus was a prophet and a good Man but that He isn’t or wasn’t God. However, what a person believes doesn’t affect what is true. Mankind used to believe centuries ago that the earth was flat; they believed it because they could see with their own eyes that it looked flat to the naked eye. But today we know that it’s a sphere. The point is that just because they believed the earth was flat didn’t change the reality that it wasn’t. Since Jesus declared His divinity and it was written that He came and lived in the flesh, He was either telling the truth or was lying; and since we know that Jesus was sinless and that God cannot lie, then He must be Who He claimed Himself to be. He is the LIGHT of the World. He is the Saviour of the World.
