"The chief priest said to Jesus, I demand in the name of the living God, TELL US IF YOU ARE THE MESSIAH, the Son of the living God!"
This is the question above all questions, the most important one in any ones life. Have you asked the question and has it been answered for you? Is Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God? Every person has to ask the same question and our One Truth Today will confirm that in fact Jesus Christ is the Lord God! The Jewish priests then and those of today continue to ask if Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the son of the living God. The answer to this question has eternal consequences and the correct answer will determine where your soul spends its new life. The wrong answer separates you from the Lord forever. The right answer, and your Salvation, leads to heaven and eternal bliss. This is a question that demands an answer.
There are people even today who say that Jesus never said or claimed that He was the Messiah.
They take this position because they know that to say He was the Messiah included the fact that He was the Son of God. In fact it leads to the inevitable conclusion that Jesus Christ is the Lord God! These scriptures in Matthew should put to rest any false claims about what Jesus said! In direct answer to the High Priest, Jesus replied, you have said it! Then Jesus continued and told Caiaphas, that he would see Jesus seated in the place of power at God's right hand. Caiaphas understood exactly what Jesus had said, he knew that Jesus had plainly said that He was the Messiah, the Son of God! That is why Caiaphas tore his robe and cried out "blasphemy" There was no ambiguity and there was no doubt about the answer to the question, TELL US IF YOU ARE THE MESSIAH? Jesus affirmed it and claimed it!
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Messiah. Jesus Christ is the Lord God and the Word tells us this Truth throughout the Scripture. It is the most important Truth Today or any other day. Jesus was and is the Salvation of all mankind. People have been looking for Him their whole life and when they find Him and accept His Salvation they are Saved. All you have to do is hear the "Good News", and then believe in Jesus Christ, invite him into your heart and life.
The choice to believe is individual and is answered one person at a time. Are you like the priest who rejected the Lord and blasphemed Him? If you reject your Messiah, Saviour and Lord, then He will say He never knew you at the time of judgement. What more could He have done,
when He was asked, TELL US IF YOU ARE THE MESSIAH, He confirmed it and claimed it!
