He Is

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds. Hebrews 1:1-2

In the early part of the first of what would come to be known as the Anno Domini centuries, Jesus was in Galilee and Judea growing up and preaching the good news of the kingdom of God. With the evidence of their eyes, the disciples of Jesus along with a great many others were quite comfortable with 'He is'. The scribes and Pharisees were somewhat less comfortable, but they did not believe in Him. Belief of course brings us to faith, and by faith we speak of Jesus of Nazareth as a 'He is' even now, about 2,000 years after he began the ministry that changed the world. While the execution by Rome of this same Jesus gave all those who refuse to believe in Him a comfortable 'He was', we by faith know of the resurrection on the third day. We do not have the evidence of our eyes yet, but from John 20:29, we have this assurance:

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
