“Holly Week”

From child hood up to now I’d notice that Filipinos and other religious counties around the world identified as Christians are celebrating the death of Christ in different ways. The Filipinos are celebrating the holly week by praying and singing to their respected church and some are trying to imitate Jesus by hanging themselves in to a torture stake like Jesus.
But who is Jesus? IS he God or son of God? Many people are claiming that Jesus and God are one or same! Is it true that father and son are living in one living creature?
In Bible book of Luke chapter 1 verses 31-33 Jesus was called as the son of the most high so it clear that Jesus isn’t God instead he is the son of God. At Mathew chapter 6 verse 9, Jesus thought his disciples to pray constantly to his father by sanctifying his name, he did not insist and claim that he is God and they should pray to him instead he thought them the importance of praying to his beloved father not him.
In the new testament, from Mathew to Revelation, there isn’t any word written saying that Jesus is God instead it is always said that he is the son of the most high God Jehovah. Jesus always keeps on telling his disciple and his listeners the importance of praying constantly to his father for guidance and forgiveness everyday.
Jesus also told us that he is the only way to his father it means he is the bridge and mediator of humans to God. Jesus was sent by God to save humans from the sin brought by our grand grand parents Adam and Eve, with out his blood it would be impossible for us to be saved and come closer to God. So it is wrong to think and say that he is God because it will contradict to his teachings that his father send him to this world, Jesus isn’t insane to called himself father and son at the same time and praying to himself crying for help. Is he? Definitely not am I right!
