God the Son

Jesus Christ is the son of God and part of the Holy Trinity. In the Gospel of John 1:1-4, Jesus “… was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him, was life, in that life was the light of men” (NIV). Therefore, Jesus existed with God before the world began. Jesus came to earth as God in the flesh. To Christians, He is their savior and teacher. In the Christian belief, all people are born as sinners who need a savior or they will parish in hell. In John 3:16, Jesus said, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (NIV). Scripture states throughout the bible that Jesus is

This fact alone makes Him extraordinarily unique. Also, because Jesus Christ is God’s only son, He alone is eternal. Furthermore, Jesus was unique because He miraculously healed people. Matthew 14:35-36 says, “…People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed” (NIV). Another example of Jesus’ healing power and amazing grace is found in Luke 22:51, ““But Jesus answered, ‘“No more of this!”’ And he touched the man’s ear and healed him””(NIV). Jesus also performed miracles of many kinds including feeding the five thousand people who came to hear him preach. Matthew 14:13-21 talks about Jesus taking five loaves of bread and two fish and turning them into a meal for 5,000 people. No one was left hungry. Clearly Jesus ability to perform miracles is truly

One of the most important lessons Jesus ever taught Christians was how to pray. In Luke 11:1-2, “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples” (NIV). This is when the Jesus taught Christians to pray the Lord’s Prayer. Scripture says Jesus took time to pray every day to His Father in Heaven. Furthermore Jesus taught Christians how to forgive. In Matthew 6:14-15, ‘“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins”’ (NIV). But His ultimate lesson on forgiveness took place on the cross where he died for the sins of all mankind so that those who believe on him would be forgiven and made right with God. In addition, Jesus taught the disciples that it was important to care for the needy. Jesus was often in the company of the poor, outcasts, sick, and oppressed. In Matthew 20:5, Jesus explained through the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats that for one to enter heaven you must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, take in the stranger, give close to those who need them, and look after those who are imprisoned and
