Many people wonder how Jehovah’s Witnesses reconcile their views with those of Christianity. For example, what do they tink about Jesus Christ? Do they have a relationship with the biblical figure?

In terms of Jesus, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe him to be God’s son and more than just your average man. To highlight this belief, they cite John 10:30 – “‘the Father is greater than I'” (NIV).

Jehovah’s witnesses also view Jesus Christ as having existed before his human birth, citing John 8:58, “before Abraham was born, I am” (NIV), but they do not tink of him as being equal to God.
