To all that say he gave everything for us, couldn't the same be said for a man that blows himself up in the middle of a city. He gave all that he had for a cause he believed in. Or a monk that lights himself on fire.

So if some are the children of Satan, how do you know they aren't the ones holding the bible and leading your sermons, or do you have some kind of spirit vision?

What you need to realise is that the faith of Jesus and His followers was lost. The reason it was lost is because the christian church tried to destroy the writings that they did not like. Some of these writings were by the disciples and are inspired. They tell about a faith very different from the one we are witnessing today by so-called believers. They also stuck in the uninspired old testament to really confuse people. GOD gave each one of us a gift called the Spirit of truth for the purpose of showing the way to Him. Start to pay attention to your inner voce and you will see what I mean.

He is The Only BEGOTTEN Son. He also suffered for everyones sins after living a perfect life... the only to ever do so. That seems pretty great to me. He did nothing, but love and teach and bring truth then he was killed for it. And hated for it, that hate is growing today.
To your added detail... No, it's not the same. Did he kill himself or others or did others kill him?
We are all spirit children of God. That's why he is God the Father.
I agree... Most Christians aren't very Christ-like. So if you respect what he did, then why are you questioning what makes him great?
Have a good day!:)

He lived a life without sin and was therefore qualified to pay for our sins and to redeem us from death (resurrection).
He is a God, the only begotten in the flesh. (Son of a mortal mother and God) therefore he could lay down his life and take it up again.
He set the perfect example and life for all the rest of us. Truth be known, he said to be perfect so we should be like him.....
and he doesn't lie.

We aren't all God's children. Jesus said that there are "children of the devil."
As it is written: "You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood by the truth, since there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie he speaks in character, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44)

His Love for all even for sinners and His mercy, because He can destroy all and everything in a blink of an eye. But He want You to open your heart to Him and give you ever lasting life and not ever lasting death in hell.

What made Jesus so great was that he gave his life on the cross to pay for our sins.... He went thru alot of suffering so we could have eternal life with Him after our body dies.

Jesus is the mediator between God's children and God.

If you are one of God's children you wouldn't be asking this question.
