Meet
Jesus.

You may have heard His name your entire life. But who is Jesus, why did He come, and what does He have to do with you?

The Question
“But whom say ye that I am?”
Jesus — Matthew 16:15

Few questions matter more. Christianity rises or falls on the identity of Jesus Christ. Before asking what Christianity can do for you, the first question is much simpler: Who is Jesus?

Start with the questions that matter to you.

You don’t have to understand everything at once. Explore the questions below at your own pace.

01
Who is Jesus?
More than a teacher.
+

Jesus of Nazareth was a real person who lived in first-century Israel. He taught publicly, gathered disciples, performed miracles, was crucified under Roman authority, and was proclaimed alive again by His followers.

But Scripture makes a much greater claim. Jesus is presented as the eternal Son of God who entered human history — fully God and fully man — to reveal the Father, fulfill God’s promises, save sinners, conquer death, and reign as King.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
John 14:6
02
Is Jesus really God?
Understanding His identity.
+
The New Testament does not merely present Jesus as someone sent by God. It identifies Him as God the Son. Jesus spoke and acted with authority that belonged to God alone.
He forgave sins, received worship, claimed authority over the Sabbath, declared that He existed before Abraham, and said, “I and my Father are one.”
John 1:1
John 8:58
John 10:30
Colossians 2:9
03
The Problem
Something is broken.
+

We were created to know God, but every one of us has sinned. Sin is more than making mistakes. It is living in rebellion against the God who made us.

Morality, religion, church attendance, and good intentions cannot erase our guilt.

We need more than improvement. We need rescue.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23
04
The Cross
Why did Jesus die?
+

Jesus did not die because His mission failed. The cross was the mission.

Sin carries a real penalty. At the cross, Jesus willingly stood in the place of sinners. The One who had no sin took upon Himself the judgment that we deserved.

He died in our place so that we could be forgiven.

“He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities… and with his stripes we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5
05
The Empty Tomb
Death did not get the last word.
+

Christianity does not end with Jesus in a tomb. His followers proclaimed that on the third day the tomb was empty and Jesus physically appeared to them alive.

The resurrection is central to Christianity. Jesus conquered death, vindicated His claims, and offers eternal life to those who trust Him.

“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.”
Matthew 28:6
06
The Gospel
This is the good news.
+
01
God created you.

You were made by God and for God.

02
Sin separated us from God.

Every person has sinned and cannot repair that separation alone.

03
Jesus took our place.

He bore the penalty of our sin on the cross.

04
Jesus rose from the dead.

Death was defeated and His identity was vindicated.

05
Salvation is received by faith.

Turn from your sin and place your trust in Jesus Christ.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”
Ephesians 2:8
07
Your Response
What do I do now?
+
Repent.

Recognize your sin and turn from living apart from God.

Believe.

Trust in Jesus, His death, and His resurrection as your only hope of salvation.

Follow.

Receive Jesus not only as Savior, but as Lord of your life.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
