More Than A Carpenter (Pack Of 25)

More Than a Carpenter2,000 years ago Jesus entered the human race. He was a member of a poor family, part of a small Jewish community, and a resident of one of the smallest countries in the world. Most of his 33 years on earth he was a carpenter, following in the profession of his step-father. His last three years were spent in public ministry. Ask a group of people ?Who is Jesus Christ?? and they will usually respond that he was a great religious leader. I agree, but I believe He was much more. Who did Jesus claim to be?The distinct claims of Jesus to be God eliminate the popular idea that he was just a good moral man or a prophet who said lots of profound things. Often such conclusions are passed off as the only ones acceptable to scholars. The trouble is that many people agree, never seeing the error of such reasoning. Who people believed Jesus to be was fundamentally important to him. To say the things Jesus said about himself and to claim the things he claimed, there?s no way we can conclude that he was just a good moral man or a religious prophet. For example?He forgave sins?something only God can do.?When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ?Son, your sins are forgiven.? Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, ??.Who can forgive sins but God alone
