Who is Jesus Christ and what is his mission to the world?

Answer 1

Jesus was a person who lived aproximately 2,000 years ago in the Roman province of Judaea, now Israel. He was probably a rabbi or spritual leader, but we don't know of any explicit mission.

Answer 2

Jesus is the way! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins - all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied. The lights will be turned on. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die - a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!

Answer 3

Jesus Christ is the son of God. He healed the sick, performed miracles, and gave us many promises in his teachings. He gave His own life and died on the cross for each and everyone in this world. The reason He died was so that everyone can have an opportunity to make it to heaven after death. Although, the only way you can make it to heaven after you die is that you ask God for forgiveness and repent of your sins.
The Bible is the best source! The books Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament explain the story of Jesus from his birth to the end of his life.

Answer 4

Philipians 2:6-8, 'being EQUAL to God He did not consider Himself-[read on in the Bible].
Jesus is the Blessed Son of God, born of a virgin, He is the Bright and Morning Star. He is the Way, the Truth and The Life. God always demanded a blood sacrifice and He became the perfect sacrificial Lamb, not for His sin, He was without sin, for our sins.
He is the only intercessor between man & God, not Mary , not a priest, not baptism, not good works. He paid the price.
Without the blood of Christ covering your sins, there is no remission for your sins.

Answer 5

Well, Scripture gives us a lot of descriptions of who Jesus is, but simply lets just say He is the Son of God because I think the 2nd part of your question is the best one to answer. Jesus' mission was to bring the "Kingdom of Heaven" to earth. His prayer, "Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. When Jesus says "Kingdom of Heaven", He is not referring to heaven. He is referring a life style portrayed by people who TRULY follow Him. Jesus leaves so many examples of what the Kingdom of heaven looks like in a true Christians life. Read through Luke because Luke's whole message is on the Kingdom of heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven lives in each Christian that lives in Christ. We are to feed the hungry, take care of the widows, etc. If someone steals out coat, give him our shirt as well. If someone hits us on one cheek, turn the other. The kingdom of heaven is a difficult life to live, but this is the life Jesus wanted us to learn from Him. That was his mission. This also gives us an excellent opportunity to express our love to God which is why God created us, to have someone to love and return that love to Him. Then to top it all off, Jesus dies on the cross so that we would have a way to spend eternity with Him and his Father.

Answer 6

Jesus Christ is the son of the living God (Matthew 16:16). He came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10) That we may have life and have it more abundantly (John !0:10)

Answer 7

Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God! He is part of the Godhead. His mission in the world was to show people how to live, and then He died for the sin of the whole world. He took the punishment which you and I and the whole of mankind deserved. He lives today, imparting salvation to the whosoever will come to Him in humble faith, in need of forgiveness. He is alive and forever interceding for us to God the Father.

Answer 8

It's hard to tell who the historic Jesus was, or even if there is a single individual who can be identified with the biblical character. It seems he wasn't as significant a figure as many would like to believe as there is almost no mention of Jesus in history outside the Bible.

Answer 9

Secular historians generally describe Jesus as an itinerant preacher and leader of a religious movement within Judaism According to historical reconstruction, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, taught in parables and aphorisms, challenged expectations of holiness and social hierarchy, and was crucified by the Romans. Historians are divided on whether Jesus led a career of healing and exorcism, whether he preached the imminent end of the world, and whether he intended to be crucified.

Most scholars agree the Gospel of Mark was written shortly before or after the destruction of the Jewish Temple by the Romans under Titus in the year 70, and the other gospels written between 70-100
The historical outlook on Jesus relies on criticism of the Bible, especially the gospels. Many scholars have sought to reconstruct Jesus' life in terms of contemporaneous political, cultural, and religious currents in Israel, including differences between Galilee and Judea, and between different sects such the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes and Zealots and in terms of conflicts among Jews in the context of Roman occupation.
Most modern Biblical scholars hold that the works describing Jesus were initially communicated by oral tradition, and were not committed to writing until several decades after Jesus' crucifixion. The earliest extant texts which refer to Jesus are Paul's letters, which are usually dated from the mid-1st century. Paul wrote that he only saw Jesus in visions, but that they were divine revelations and hence authoritative (Galations 1:11–12). The earliest extant texts describing Jesus in any detail were the four New Testament Gospels. These texts, being part of the Biblical canon, have received much more analysis and acceptance from Christian sources than other possible sources for information on Jesus.

Many other early Christian texts detail events in Jesus' life and teachings, though they were not included when the Bible was canonized due to a belief that they were pseudepigraphical, not inspired, or written too long after his death, while others were suppressed because they contradicted Christian orthodoxy. It took several centuries before the list of what was and was not part of the Bible became finally fixed, and for much of the early period the Book of Revelation was not included while works like The Shepherd of Hermas were.

Books that were not included are known as the New Testament apocrypha. These include the Gospel of Thomas, a collection of logia—phrases and sayings attributed to Jesus without a narrative framework, only rediscovered in the 20th century. Other important apocryphal works that had a heavy influence in forming traditional Christian beliefs include the Apocalypse of Peter, Protevangelium of James, Infancy Gospel of Thomas, and Acts of Peter. A number of Christian traditions (such as Veronica's veil and the Assumption of Mary) are found not in the canonical gospels but in these and other apocryphal works.

Answer 10

Jesus was born in Egypt, and not of a virgin on some farm in the desert. He was a priest in the Temple of Osiris and set out to teach perfect love and perfect trust along with his companion Mary, who was his Priestess. Jesus' "miracles" were things that any woman or man can do with some training - Reiki, Herbalism, control of the elements, divination, visions. He and mary set out as teachers. Jesus did not set out with the intention of being deitized. He was just a normal man who developed his gifts and went out to teach others. Jesus was as Pagan as it gets, he was not a christian. We Pagans do not see Jesus as a deity, but as one of us. We don't worship him, we honour the same (Pagan) gods that he served. He was the first witch to be executed (for his beliefs). The rest of the crap that people have been told to believe about him for the past 2000 years is rubbish.
