Jesus Cristo: quem é, o que ensinou e sua identidade divina

Por Bíblia Online

Quem é Jesus Cristo: Deus feito homem

Jesus Cristo é o Filho de Deus, o Salvador prometido nas Escrituras e a figura central da fé cristã. Ele é Deus que assumiu a natureza humana para reconciliar a humanidade com o Criador, vivendo sem pecado, morrendo na cruz pelos nossos pecados e ressuscitando ao terceiro dia.

No grego do Novo Testamento, Jesus é apresentado como o Logos — a Palavra ou o Verbo eterno —, que já existia antes da criação do mundo e que se fez carne. A teologia cristã afirma que Jesus não é uma criatura elevada nem um homem que virou Deus, mas o próprio Deus que se humilhou e tomou a forma humana.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.(John 1:1-3)

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.(John 1:14)

For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over every ruler and authority;(Colossians 2:9,10)

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant andbeing born in the likeness of men.(Philippians 2:5-7)

O Messias prometido e Filho de Deus

O título "Cristo" não é o sobrenome de Jesus, mas a tradução grega do hebraico Messias, que significa "o Ungido". Durante séculos, o povo de Israel esperou pelo Rei que traria a redenção prometida por Deus aos profetas.

Nos Evangelhos, essa identidade fica evidente no nascimento virginal anunciado como Emanuel ("Deus conosco"), no batismo com o testemunho do Pai e na confissão dos discípulos. Diante do tribunal judaico e até mesmo no momento de sua morte na cruz, a autoridade de Jesus como Filho de Deus foi proclamada.

"Behold, the virgin willconceive and give birth to a Son, and they shall name HimImmanuel," which translated means, "God with us."(Matthew 1:23)

Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well pleased."(Luke 3:21,22)

He *said to them, "But who do you yourselves say that I am?"Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.(Matthew 16:15-17)

But He kept silent and did not offer any answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and *said to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."(Mark 14:61,62)

Now as for the centurion and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the other things that were happening, they became extremely frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"(Matthew 27:54)

But he *said to them, "Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him.(Mark 16:6)

A reivindicação do "Eu Sou" e a autoridade divina

Quando Jesus declarou: "Antes que Abraão existisse, Eu Sou", ele usou deliberadamente a mesma expressão com que Deus se revelou a Moisés na sarça ardente (Yahweh, em Êxodo 3:14).

Os líderes religiosos da época compreenderam com clareza o que ele quis dizer: Jesus estava afirmando possuir a mesma eternidade, poder e honra que pertencem exclusivamente ao Pai. Por fazer essa afirmação de igualdade com Deus, os líderes tentaram apedrejá-lo.

Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?" And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ "(Exodus 3:13,14)

Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."(John 8:58)

But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working."

For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.(John 5:17,18)

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.(John 5:21-23)

Truly, truly, I say to you, a time is coming and even now has arrived, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.(John 5:25)

O Salvador e único mediador

A Bíblia ensina que a humanidade foi separada de Deus pelo pecado e que nenhum esforço próprio pode restabelecer essa comunhão. Por essa razão, a vinda de Jesus teve um propósito substitutivo: levar sobre si o castigo que pertencia ao ser humano.

Como o profeta Isaías antecipou séculos antes, o Messias foi traspassado pelas nossas transgressões. Pela sua morte e ressurreição, Jesus se tornou o único mediador entre Deus e a humanidade, oferecendo salvação pela graça àquele que crê.

For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us;

And the government will rest on His shoulders;

And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.(Isaiah 9:6)

However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore,

And our pains that He carried;

Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,

Struck down by God, and humiliated.(Isaiah 53:4)

But He was pierced for our offenses,

He was crushed for our wrongdoings;

The punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him,

And by His wounds we are healed.(Isaiah 53:5)

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.(John 3:16-18)

Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.(John 14:6)

And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be saved."(Acts 4:12)

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus,(1 Timothy 2:5)

And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, to the extent that He has inherited a more excellent name than they.(Hebrews 1:3,4)

Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brothers so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.(Hebrews 2:17)

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin.(Hebrews 4:14,15)

looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.(Hebrews 12:2)

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies,(John 11:25)

O que significa crer e viver em Cristo

Crer em Jesus Cristo vai além de aceitar dados históricos sobre a sua passagem pela terra. O ensino dos apóstolos mostra que a fé bíblica envolve confiança pessoal na obra da cruz e submissão ao senhorio de Cristo.

Essa resposta se manifesta na confissão pública de fé e em uma transformação prática de vida. Viver em Cristo significa deixar para trás o domínio do egoísmo e do pecado, passando a caminhar em novidade de vida, fortalecido pelo amor fraterno e pela esperança da ressurreição.

that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;(Romans 10:9)

By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.(1 John 4:9,10)

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.(1 John 4:15)

the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.(1 John 3:8)

And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.(1 John 5:11,12)

Then He *said to Thomas, "Place your finger here, and see My hands; and take your hand and put it into My side; and do not continue in disbelief, but be a believer."Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"(John 20:27,28)

So then, many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that by believing you may have life in His name.(John 20:30,31)

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.(Galatians 2:20)

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.(Ephesians 2:10)

and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.(Ephesians 5:2)

Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be thankful.(Colossians 3:15)

For just as we have many parts in one body and all the body’s parts do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.(Romans 12:4,5)

but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect;(1 Peter 3:15)

"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.(John 15:12)

And the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.(Matthew 10:38)

O Rei que há de voltar e o Reino eterno

A história bíblica não termina na cruz nem na ascensão de Jesus aos céus. As Escrituras prometem que ele retornará de forma visível e gloriosa para consumar o seu Reino, julgar a justiça e restaurar todas as coisas.

Para quem nele confia, essa promessa traz segurança: nem a morte nem qualquer poder terreno pode afastar as pessoas da mão de Cristo. Ele reina como Senhor e voltará como Rei dos reis.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many crowns; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: "KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS."(Revelation 19:11-16)

and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.I and the Father are one."(John 10:28-30)

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 4:19)
