1. Introduction
Jesus Christ stands at the center of the Christian faith. He is not merely a historical figure or moral teacher — He is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the living Word. This study explores His identity, mission, and ongoing presence in our lives.
2. Jesus in Prophecy
Old Testament Foreshadowing
Long before His birth, prophets spoke of the coming Messiah:
Isaiah 9:6 — “For to us a child is born… and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Micah 5:2 — His birthplace foretold in Bethlehem.
Genesis 3:15 — The promise of redemption through the seed of the woman.
These prophecies reveal God’s plan for salvation through His Son.
3. Jesus in History
The Incarnation
Jesus entered human history as both fully God and fully man.

Born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23), He lived a sinless life and revealed God’s character through compassion, truth, and power.
Historical Impact
His teachings transformed lives, His miracles demonstrated divine authority, and His death and resurrection changed the course of history.

John 10:30 — “I and the Father are one.”

The Cross
Through His sacrifice, Jesus bore the sins of humanity and reconciled us to God.

To follow Jesus means to surrender our will to His. He is not only our Savior but also our Lord — guiding our lives, shaping our hearts, and calling us to obedience.
