Who is Jesus?

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." - John 3:16

Some say He was just a great teacher or prophet. Others say He was a good man that did good things. Some claim he was a liar or a lunatic. And down through the ages, many have worshiped him as their risen Lord and Savior. Whatever you think of him, I'm sure you would agree that He stand alone in the center of Human history.

Jesus Christ is your best friend, your comforter, and much closer than your sister, brother, and even your parents. He's even closer than the air you breathe. Jesus is God. And being so, he gave you breath. Awesome, isn't it? But, check this out...... Jesus died on the cross for your sins, the sins you will commit now and later. I mean think about it.... if your best friend died for you, you would know that they love you, right? Well that's just like Jesus. Except He loves you way more than that. Because even though He died, he rose. He rose from the dead so that you could be saved for your sins- if you accept him, believe in him, and honestly repent for your sins. Whenever you are lonely, depressed, or discouraged, he is there for you. There is nothing he wouldn't do for his own child. and the best part is, is that whoever believes in him is his child No matter what you've done.... Jesus will forgive you and still love you. Forever.

"Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the father, but through me."- John 14:6

"Christ died for our sins...he was buried...he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures... he appeared to Peter, then to the Twelve. After that he appeared to more than five hundred...." - 1 Corinthians 15:3-6
