Who Is Jesus?
Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end
(Hebrews 12:2 Good News Translation)
Jesus is the eternal Son of God, incarnate; conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully human: two natures in one Person. He is the Son of God and Lord of all, worthy of worship, honour and reverence.
The eternal Son of God is the second person of the trinity, eternally begotten of the Father. He is the Word of God and the express image of the Father. Through the Son, the Father created all things, and the Son sustains all things by his word.
The Son was sent by the Father to be God revealed in the flesh for our salvation, the God-man, Jesus Christ. As the prophesied Saviour of humanity, Jesus suffered and died for the sins of all humanity, was raised bodily from the dead, and ascended up to heaven.
Having taken to himself our broken and alienated humanity, he has included the entire human race in his right relationship with the Father, so that, in his regeneration of our humanity, we are able to be partakers in his sonship, being adopted as God’s own children in the power of the Spirit.
As our representative and substitute, he stands in for all humanity before the Father, providing the perfect human response to God on our behalf and reconciling humanity to the Father. He will come again in glory as King of kings over all nations.
