Who is Jesus?

The history and message surrounding the person and life of Jesus Christ has intrigued and fascinated people from all walks of life for the last 1900 years.  Through faith in Him, Jesus Christ empowers us to persevere through the trials of life; to find healing where we've been wounded; to overcome the ugliness of our own pride, jealousy, anger, and lusts; to know the forgiveness and peace of a holy God; to find in our hearts the love of God for all people; and to rest in an unshakable trust that the God of the universe cares and provides for us.  Jesus Christ also empowers us through the hope He offers in life after death, and in His promise that one day He will come back to bring an end to the suffering and evil of our world, when He returns to judge the living and the dead. 

Today, millions of people from all over the world follow and worship Him, as His teachings and the spiritual life He offers have impacted individuals, cultures, empires, and nations in a manner that has altered the course of human history to a staggering degree.  He only had a ministry that lasted three years and He left behind no established or organized church.  This Jesus claimed to be equal with God, yet He allowed Himself to be executed as a criminal.  He had the power to raise the dead and calm the storm on the sea, yet Jesus willingly gave up His own life for you and me.  He came as a "Suffering-Servant," yet He offers us an abundant life of joy and peace unmatched by anything this world affords.

It is this person, Jesus Christ who said...

I am the light of the world, I am the bread of life, I am the way and the truth and the life.

 In this world you will have trouble, but take heart,  I have overcome the world.

John 8:12; 6:35; 14:6; 16:33 (NIV).
