No. 2A - I believe because of the incomparable life, works, and behaviour of Jesus, the Son of God

It is not really possible to describe Jesus. The closest I can come is to say that He is incomparable. I encourage you to read the book "The Incomparable Christ" by J. Oswald Sanders.

Here are some quotes from well-known Christians who have attempted to describe Jesus:

• John Stott (1921–2011) – Theologian, Writer: "The person and work of Christ are absolutely unique. There is nobody else remotely like Him."
• Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) – Pastor, Author: "Christ is the sum and substance of the gospel; take Christ from the gospel, and you have nothing left."
• A.W. Tozer (1897–1963) – Pastor, Author: "Christ is not one of many ways to God; He is the only way. Christ is not one of many truths; He is the only truth. Christ is not one of many lives; He is the only life."
• Athanasius of Alexandria (c. 296–373) – Church Father, Bishop: "He became what we are so that He might make us what He is."
• Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) – Pastor, Theologian, Martyr: "Jesus Christ is the centre of human existence and history. To ignore Him is to ignore the meaning of life."
• John Calvin (1509–1564) – Reformer: "We see that our whole salvation and all its parts are comprehended in Christ. We should therefore take care not to derive the least portion of it from anywhere else."
• Blaise Pascal (1623–1662) – Scientist, Christian Apologist: "Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ alone, but we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ."
• C.S. Lewis (1898–1963) – Scholar, Writer, Christian Apologist: "Christ is either a liar, a lunatic, or He is Lord. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great moral teacher."
• John Owen (1616–1683) – Puritan Theologian: "Christ is in all things the most excellent, and in comparison with Him, all else is worthless."
• Richard Baxter (1615–1691) – Puritan Pastor: "Christ is the very essence of all delights and pleasures; nothing else in heaven or earth can satisfy fully, but He alone."
• Watchman Nee (1903–1972) – Chinese Church Leader, Teacher: "The Christian experience, from start to finish, is a journey of learning Christ."
• Billy Graham (1918–2018) – Evangelist, Preacher, Author: "There is no other name in all of history that can bring forgiveness, peace with God, and eternal life—only Jesus Christ."
