Who Is Jesus?

He is alive. He rose from the dead.

He came to earth as a man to answer humanity's need for a Savior.

He was crucified. He rose again. And He is alive.

He is everywhere - closer than the air you breathe.

He is omnipotent. He is omniscient. He is omnipresent.

And He is waiting for you to run to Him.

Jesus is not merely a religious teacher.

He is not merely a moral example.

He is not merely a historical figure.

He is the Son of God.

He is the Word made flesh.

He is the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

He is the King who conquered death.

He is the Savior who came near when we could not reach God on our own.

The Word became flesh and lived among us.
John 1:14 (WEB)

Jesus is God coming near.

He touched the broken.

He healed the sick.

He forgave sinners.

He confronted darkness.

He welcomed the weary.

He loved the rejected.

He carried the cross.

He entered death.

He rose from the grave.

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
John 14:6 (WEB)

Jesus did not come to start a religion.

He came to restore relationship.

He did not come to shame you.

He came to save you.

He did not come to make bad people religious.

He came to make dead people alive.

He is mercy for the guilty.

He is hope for the hopeless.

He is rest for the weary.

He is truth for the confused.

He is light in the darkness.

He is resurrection for the dead.

And the most important question is not simply: Have you heard of Him?

The question is: Do you know Him?

If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9 (WEB)

So today, the invitation is simple:

Believe in Jesus. Call on Him. Trust Him. Receive His mercy. Follow Him as Lord.

Jesus is not distant. Jesus is not dead. Jesus is not finished with your story.

He is alive. And He is still asking: Do you know Me?
