Jesus stepped into human history over 2,000 years ago. He lived for 33 years, fully God and fully man. He is the son of God and came to save humanity from sin and death.
Jesus chose to sacrifice himself on the cross so that whoever believes in him could have eternal life with him in heaven. He took on the weight of all the sin and darkness humanity had ever created and stood in the gap for us as a pure and blameless sacrifice in the sight of God.
Jesus taught us how to live by faith, be known by love, and be a voice of hope to the world.
“Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn’t claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion.”
- Philippians 2:5-8 (MSG)
