WHO IS JESUS?
The Man
Jesus was born in a small rural town roughly 2,000 years ago. He was born into a lower–class family, to a teenage virgin mum and lived a relatively quiet life until the age of 30. At this time Jesus began his public ministry. Over the next three years, Jesus performed miracles, preached the gospel and proclaimed he was God. As promised in the Old Testament and by Jesus himself, Jesus was crucified on a Roman cross to save humanity from sin, Satan and death. On the third day, Jesus rose from death and appeared to hundreds before ascending to join his heavenly Father.
The Mission
Jesus arrived on the stage of human history on a mission — to reveal who God is and to reconcile men and women back to him. In order to reconcile us to God, Jesus lived and died as a sacrificial substitute, living perfectly in the place of sinners, and dying gruesomely in the place of the guilty. Jesus is therefore the saviour of the world, the only way for sinners to be saved from the righteous wrath of God. Jesus accomplished his mission through his death, atoning for our sin, and through his resurrection, rising in victory over sin, Satan and death.
The Message
Throughout his ministry, Jesus preached a consistent message. Jesus proclaimed that true life consisted in following him. Jesus calls us to repent of our sin and believe in him. We are to believe that Jesus is our all–satisfying saviour, and that He accomplished his mission in the place of our failure.
For those who believe in him, Jesus promises them eternal life, abundant joy, the help of the Holy Spirit and reconciliation with God the Father. Those who believe in Jesus are freed from their sin, guilt and shame, and commissioned to continue his mission in sacrificially serving God and proclaiming the good news of Jesus.
