Who is Jesus? A simple answer

The Son of God

The Bible says Jesus was with God in the beginning and is God (John 1:1, 14). Two thousand years ago He was born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth and lived a real human life. He taught, healed the sick and loved people no one else would touch.

Jesus did not claim to be only a good teacher. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).

Why He came

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Sin separates us from God, and we cannot fix it ourselves. Jesus came to do what we could not.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

The cross and the empty tomb

Jesus died on a cross, taking the punishment for our sin. He was buried, and on the third day He rose from the dead. Hundreds of people saw Him alive (1 Corinthians 15:3 to 6). Because He lives, death does not have the last word.

The door is open

Jesus said, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved" (John 10:9). You do not need to clean yourself up first. Turn to Him, believe in Him, and ask Him to forgive you and lead your life.
