Who is Jesus?

For starters, he is arguably the most famous person in history. And nobody saw that coming, by the way. He was born to poor parents and became a small-town Jewish teacher. Most teachers like him have come and gone without any fanfare, yet somehow the name Yeshua ben Yosef (or “Jesus, son of Joseph”) is known and respected around the globe.

Claims have been made that he performed miracles, healed diseased, expelled demons, and even read peoples’ minds. None of this can be proven scientifically, but one thing is certain: those who spent time with Jesus believed him to be miraculous. Even today, over 2,000 years after his life on earth, more people identify as Christians than any other religion.

He said this about himself: “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son [Jesus], that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus had no intention of becoming a famous miracle worker who takes up space in a history book. His mission was to die on a cross, pay the penalty for the sins of mankind, and rise from the dead to prove his deity. He asserted that all who follow him have eternal life, and those who do not remain separated from God for eternity.
