Who is Jesus?
DEAD COME ALIVE
JOHN 1:1-18 (NOTHING WAS MADE WITHOUT JESUS)
1. In the beginning was the Word,
And the word was with God
And the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made by HIM
Without HIM was not anything made that was made
4. In HIM was life
And the life was the LIGHT of men.
5. And the LIGHT shineth in the darkness
And the darkness comprehended it not.
6. There was a man sent from God , whose name was John.
7. The same came for a witness,
To bear witness of the LIGHT
That ALL men through HIM might believe
8. He was not that light,
But was sent to bear witness of that LIGHT
9. THAT was the true LIGHT
Which lighteth the world
10. HE was in the world,
and the world was made by HIM
And the world knew HIM not
11. He came unto HIS own
And HIS own received him not
12. But as many as received HIM
To them gave HE the power to
Become the sons of GOD
Even to them that believe on HIS name:
13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
Nor of the will of man
But of GOD
14. And the WORD was made flesh,
And dwelt among us
(and we beheld HIS glory, the glory,
The glory as of the only begotten of the Father)
Full of grace and truth
15. John bare witness of HIM, and cried, saying,
This was he whom I spake,
He that cometh after me is preferred before me
For HE was before me.
16. And of his fullness have all we received,
And grace for grace.
17. For the law was given by Moses,
But grace and truth came by Jesus Christ
18. No man hath seen GOD at any time;
The only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father,
HE hath declared Him
WHO IS JESUS

WHO IS JESUS
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1 NIV)
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14 NIV)

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL HELP US KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD
The Holy Spirit bring revelation: https://www.cfaith.com/index.php/blog/21-articles/holy-spirit/16570-the-holy-spirit-brings-revelation#:~:text=(1%20Cor.,-2%3A12%2D13&text=That%20understanding%20comes%20as%20a,of%20doing%20that%20very%20thing.
God says His Holy Spirit is available to help us know and understand God's thoughts. We can actually know what the Almighty God of the universe thinks. That is something to spend time thinking about because it is absolutely mind-boggling. Just think, the God of this universe is actually so intimate with us that He wants to let us know His thoughts, His mind, and His ways.
Wow!
Where does is say that? First Corinthians chapter two says,
We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God (the Holy Spirit), so that we can understand what God has freely given us. These truths we express to you are not human thoughts figured out in the mind or taught from man's human wisdom. They are God's Words taught from within your heart by the Holy Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words."
(1 Cor. 2:12-13)
This means that as we read God's Word and as we pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand what we read, the Holy Spirit will teach us what God is saying through the scriptures. Since the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, God will talk to you!
These verses are also saying that a human mind can't get God's understanding of scripture. That understanding comes as a gift of God to each and every believer.
It is the Holy Spirit that brings the revelation (or understanding) of what God's Word means. His Holy Spirit lives within us for the purpose of doing that very thing. He lives within us to reveal the secrets of God. On the other hand, these secrets will remain a mystery to those who don't accept Jesus.
Contrary to what men think today and what King Nebuchadnezzar's men thought then, we have a God that loves us—One who lives in and amongst us and Who reveals His heart and thoughts to us.
That is something to shout about! Excuse me while I go run, sing, shout, get excited, and look for someone to give a high-five to!

1 Corinthians 2 King James Version
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
