Who is Jesus?

“But what about you?” He asked. “Who do YOU say I am?”
Matthew 16:15

It’s a question that Jesus himself asks his followers. We can’t know what sort of experience you may have had with churches or Christians or religion in general, but we believe that it’s so vitally important that each of us examine and answer this question for ourselves.

Over the coming year, we will be running events that help to look at who Jesus is. If you’re wondering about the answer to the question “Who is Jesus?” then these events are a great opportunity to explore this for yourself. We warmly invite everyone to our Friday Meetings where we’ll be looking at the question, “Who is Jesus?” in more depth.

We’re also more than happy to meet up with people one-to-one, or answer questions via E-mail. Our Contact Team is there for just such things and they’d be happy to get in touch with you.

Online, there are two very helpful outlines of what Christians believe, called Two Ways To Live and Knowing God Personally – both are well worth checking out.

Also, here’s a quick summary for understanding what the Christian message is really all about:

• God created the world with intention for how the world was meant to be, and the best way for us to live in it. He therefore defines, and owns, everything.
• God created us to reflect Him and live in intimate friendship with Him, He absolutely and totally adores every one of us, and is desperate for a relationship with us.
• We’ve chosen to live without God and have therefore decided to separate ourselves from Him, ending in the ultimate separation from Him (Hell).
• But because God loves us so much and doesn’t want to give up trying to have a relationship with us, He offers us forgiveness and new life and relationship with Him through Jesus’ death on the cross (where Jesus faced separation from God on our behalf).
• We have the chance to turn around and to trust and embrace Jesus, and enter into the best relationship we will literally ever have.

So who do you say He is? A prophet, a great public speaker, a liar? They are all the same thing in the end.

Or do you accept Him as the Son of God, the Messiah, the Christ, who died to save us from our sins? This is a life and death question.
