Dear Rev. Who is Jesus Christ and what is his mission to the world?
Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity as God revealed Himself in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Son of God which describes His closeness to the Father and the great sacrifice God made in sending Him to this earth. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” – John 3:16.
His mission was to die on a cross as a sacrifice for the world’s sin. He did this so that we could be forgiven and a relationship with God could be restored. He was resurrected from the dead and is alive today. He is the way to God as Jesus Himself said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me” – John 14:6. You can know Him in a personal way if you accept Him as your Savior from sin.
