Jesus is referred to as He. The reason for this is to indicate the deity of Jesus. Christian scripture (New Testament) teach that Jesus is God who came in a human body (John 1:1, 14; 1Tim 3:16; Tit 2:13; Heb 1:8,10-12; 1Jn 5:20; John 14:8-9). Jewish Scripture (Old Testament) had indicated the revelation of God in human form (Isa 9:6, Dan 7:13-14). Early historical and non-biblical writings also indicated Jesus as God. For example:
1) Lucian, a 2nd Century Greek satirist, mentioned Christians worshipping Jesus;
2) Pliny the Younger, Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor around 112AD, wrote to the Emperor Trajan (98-117AD) that Christians are singing hymns to Jesus as to a god;
3) Many non-canonical writings of early Christians mention Jesus as God.
