What do we know about Jesus Christ?
Jesus is believed to be the Son of the living God who created the universe and all life forms, including mankind. Jesus is also referred to as the Son of Man or Messiah.
According to biblical text, Jesus was a Jewish rabbi from Galilee who preached his message orally, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate (a Roman Governor).
Its stated in biblical text, (Matthew 26:63), that Jesus acknowledged to the Jewish Sanhedrin (an assembly of over twenty men appointed from every city in the Land of Israel) that he was indeed the Son of God.
Christians believe that Jesus has a "unique significance" in the world. Christian doctrines include the beliefs that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, whence he will return.
The great majority of Christians worship Jesus Christ as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three persons of a Divine Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost being the living spirit of God. If this is true, then Jesus would be God in human flesh.
What makes Jesus so incredibly unique is that he is the only known human being born of a woman that does not have a biological human male father. His mother is a biological human female but his father is a celestial being, (not of this earth or of this terrestrial universe). Because of that, Jesus possessed abilities and powers well beyond that of a normal, terrestrial human being.
Let’s try to better understand what this means, Jesus is not God’s Son in the sense of a human father and a son. God did not get married and have a son. God did not mate with Mary and, together with her, produce a son. Jesus is God’s Son in the sense that He is God made manifest in human form (John 1:1, 14).
Jesus is God's Son in that He was conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35 declares, “The angel answered, the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, so the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God."
While there is no profound evidence to support this as being factual, millions of people believe it to be true.
Assuming this is true as is believed, what was God's purpose to manifest Himself in human form, and become Jesus, and to interact and walk among mankind on earth?
It states in the Bible, New Testament, (John 3:16), which reads in the King James Version as, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
It is also stated in the New Testament (Matthew 10:34) that Jesus said to his apostles “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword”.
It can be interpreted that God manifest Himself into Jesus and came to earth for several reasons.
