Who is Jesus? - Gabrielle McCulligh

Jesus was the son of God, who was created by God and the second person within the trinity. God is viewed as the father, the son, and the holy spirit, according to the Christian worldview. Jesus was created from God planting a seed in Virgin Mary. Jesus was thus born to spread the word about God and all the gospel. Jesus lived a life as a human as all of us do now. He experienced a lot of things we as human’s experience. Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins where he died on the cross. Jesus is important to the Christian worldview because he is the ultimate reason we are who we are today. “God is both holy and just, so although he created humanity to be immortal, he could not accept them into his holy kingdom in their sinful state (Lecture 5). After Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, this served as redemption and it was then that god allowed them into the

Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity, the only way of salvation and the second person of the Trinity. (Funk & Wagnalls, 2015) The Gospels Matthew and Luke introduce the birth and childhood of God’s one and only Son, Jesus. His story began when the Angel Gabriel visited His virgin mother, announcing that she would give birth to a son, and that she was to call Him Jesus, for He would be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:30-35) The incarnation of the Messiah, was the Word

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a humble life, spreading the word of the Lord, and died by crucifixion for the sins of all of humanity. “Jesus is referred to as Savior.

No other could justify, sanctify, and redeem us; for, he was the perfect lamb. He was holy and blameless in the sight of God. Only through his stripes could we be healed. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” –Isaiah 53:6 Yes, Jesus is a father, a friend, a provider, and a comforter. But most of all, He is my Lord and Savior that died on the cross for my sins to give me eternal life, and an everlasting relationship with

Jesus Christ is worshiped around the world as being the savior of all mankind. His birth was a miracle because he was born from a virgin. Taken from the Holy Bible, in Matthew 1:18-25, it states

When this question is personalized, it becomes the most important question one will ever be asked or answer. Who is Jesus Christ to YOU? Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10, NKJV). In 1 John 5:11-13 we are told that if we have the son in our life we can KNOW that we have eternal life. Jesus is the only way for us to live an abundant life here on earth, or receive eternal life in fellowship with God. Jesus died on the cross to take the punsihment for our sins so that we could be sinless in the eyes of God. If we do not receive the free gift of eternal life by experiencing the forgiveness achieved by Jesus, then we will receive the punishment we

Jesus Christ, God incarnate came to earth to save everyone from eternal damnation in hell. As humans, with Adam and Eve as our representatives in the Garden of Eden, they broke God’s one commandment, therefore allowing sin to come into the world. Because of this fall, we all deserve damnation, and because of the sin nature inside of us, everyone deserves to die and be eternally punished. However, because of the loving and gracious nature of God, He sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to be our representative for sin. When he took the cross, not only did he bear the physical pain of the lashes, the dehydration, and the cross itself, but he also drank God’s cup of wrath for us. Everyone on earth deserves to be on that cross, but Jesus, through his great love for us, paid the ultimate price of his own life to save us.

To start off, I will say a very simple fact, Jesus is everything and everyone. Jesus is all that is around us. When I say this I mean that Jesus is the reason we are where we are, He made everything possible for us and we don’t understand that. Jesus is a symbol of strength, Saving grace, human weakness, hope, life, love, understanding, knowledge, wisdom and almost any other intangible definition of humanity that we could think of. The reason I say this is because Jesus of scripture was everything good in the world and also he highlighted humanity as we are. Jesus in scripture is shown in every situation and can be applied to our world as a symbol. He is in all that is good and also in any situation that is bad. I don’t mean bad as in he is the creator of evil because that would be a complete religious contradiction. I mean that Jesus is the hope in any bad situation. He is what makes evil turn out good. Jesus makes anything bad become understandable through all that He means.

Jesus had to carry his own cross, that probably weighed two times his size, all the way up to wear the crucifixion was going to take place. Already beaten and bloody, they lay him down onto the cross shaped piece of wood and begin by nailing his hands and feet into it and standing the cross up into the air. What a brutal sight it must have been for God to see his only son tortured like this, but the good news is that he knew what his plan was for Jesus and for his people and he knew what was going to happen after all this was over. Jesus died hanging from that cross, washing all of our sin away and paying the ultimate sacrifice. After he died he was wrapped in a white cloth and placed into a tomb with a boulder sealing the door to the outside world. Three days after being placed in there, the people went to check up on the tomb to find that the boulder was pushed aside and the white cloth was folded neatly where Jesus was laying. The son of God, the Messiah, rose again from the dead to fulfill his mission so that we may have everlasting life in God’s kingdom. God’s plan for our life and through Jesus he teaches us that if we follow in God’s word and make him our most prized possession and ask for him to be in our hearts that we may to “escape the penalty that God will execute upon all who have broken His

First and foremost I will explain who he is and how, where did he get his name from both historically and biblically. Second is he GOD himself or does he stands along like we as humans what makes him any different to the average human being. In conclusion why was he created what does he really mean to us is it important to know him and develop a personal relationship with this man called Jesus if so why?

Although previously noted, the importance of understanding Jesus Christ is essential. So in a historical context, who is Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ is considered the son of God and the messiah who sacrificed his own life in

In the view of His deity, Christ is God. Not only is he Christ, but the Son of God, and called God in the New Testament.

Christianity is a faith based religion that connects its followers to heaven. From a young age I have been taught the importance of Jesus. In Christianity, Jesus and God are the same person that connect heaven and earth. “Jesus was a Galilean Jew who lived in a backwater of the Roman empire, between around 4 BCE and 33 CE” (O’Donnell 117). Jesus was born in Bethlehem and from a young age, was destined to save us from our sins. Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph. As an adult, Jesus was performing miracles like driving out demons, healing the blind and sick, and resurrecting the dead. These miracles were worshipped and people fell to their knees at the sight of Jesus, but

• Jesus is the son of God, he is God in the flesh, he came into this world for two purposes, to teach us how to live on earth and because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, Jesus. Jesus died on cross for our sins, and is sitting at God’s right hand today.

I believe that Jesus is a great teacher, leader and ultimately my Savior. A great teacher has many characteristics such as patience, kindness, is understanding, and uses different techniques to help his/her students understand what is being taught and how to apply it to their life. Jesus does this better than anyone I know. A good leader knows how to listen and lead a group in an effective way in addition to knowing when to follow is key to success. Jesus did this in his ministry as well. Lastly and most important, I believe that Jesus is my savior. I believe that God created this universe and everything in it. He created everything exactly how he intended it for us, but we distorted and separated ourselves from God when Adam and Eve sinned. My sin separates me from God, but God wants a personal relationship with me. He sent himself incarnate in humble human form. This form was Jesus, he full God and full man. He was humbled in that form to live the perfect like I cannot to bridge that gap I created. My sin sentenced me to hell, but Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection defeated the eternal death I deserve and Satan himself. I believe in Christ alone, not by my works, gives me new life. I am a new creation trough him, he saved me from my punishment.
