Is Jesus Christ unique? How?
Jesus Christ is unique in numerous ways. Some of the attributes true only of Jesus include the following. Please note that this is only a partial compilation and is not intended to provide a comprehensive delineation of Jesus' uniqueness. As the Gospel writer John stated, "Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written" (John 21:25).First, Jesus is the only Son of God. John 3:16 notes, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
Second, Jesus is the only way of salvation. Acts 4:12 shares, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Third, Jesus is the only person to walk the planet whose existence extends to both eternity past and future. He claimed to be the I AM, existing before Abraham as the one, true God (John 8:58).
Fourth, only Jesus can forgive the sins of all people and provide complete, unconditional forgiveness. John the Baptist taught about Jesus, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29).
Fifth, only Jesus holds the power to give up His own life and return to life. His resurrection was literal and physical. This is why He said in Luke 24:39, "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."
Again, these are only a few of Jesus Christ's myriad perfect attributes unique only to His role as the Son of God and Second Person of the Triune Godhead. He is Sustainer, Redeemer, and King, while also living in an earthly body as other humans, living without sin, and proving Himself as the fulfillment of the messianic prophecies through His life, teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection.
