Who Is Jesus?

The Incarnate Savior:
Jesus’ divine identity is further revealed in His incarnation (He became human). The eternal Son of God took on human form, entering our world as a baby born in Bethlehem. Through His miraculous birth, Jesus united the divine and the human, making it possible for us to truly know God and experience His love and grace. As Hebrews 2:17 states, Jesus became fully human, “made like his brothers in every respect so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest.”

The Redeemer and Savior:
Jesus’ purpose in coming to earth was to redeem humanity from the bondage of sin. He lived a sinless life, demonstrating perfect obedience to the Father’s will. Through His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus bore the weight of our sins, offering Himself as the atoning sacrifice. He paid the price for our sins. His resurrection from the dead conquered sin and death, securing eternal life for all who believe in Him. Jesus is the only Savior who can reconcile us with God, granting forgiveness, and offering the hope of salvation.

The Compassionate Teacher:
Jesus not only demonstrated His divine power through miracles but also left a legacy as a profound teacher. He taught with authority, revealing the heart of God and God’s desire for our lives. Through parables, sermons, and personal encounters, Jesus imparted wisdom, love, and guidance. His teachings continue to illuminate our path, helping us navigate life’s challenges, leading us closer to God, and telling us of our salvation.

The Coming King:
While Jesus walked the earth as a humble servant, His divine identity also encompasses His future role as the coming King. The Scriptures reveal that Jesus will return in glory, He will judge the world, and He will usher in the culmination of God’s plan for the world. As believers, we eagerly anticipate His second coming, when He will establish His eternal kingdom, where righteousness and justice will reign forever.

Conclusion:
Understanding who Jesus is goes beyond mere intellectual knowledge; it is an invitation to embark on a personal and transformative relationship with Him. He is the Son of God, the Incarnate Savior, the Redeemer, the Compassionate Teacher, and the Coming King. Knowing Jesus means experiencing His love, grace, and salvation. It means finding forgiveness, hope, and purpose in life. May we continually seek to know Him more deeply, for in Jesus, we find true meaning and eternal life.
