What did Jesus do exactly ?

Question

I know a lot of people believe in him because he did something. But I never got to know what it is he has done that is so great. (I'm not religious, i was just curious )

So, what did he do that makes him so great.


PS: is God Jesus, or are they two different people. I know Jesus was this guy in Jerusalem, but where did God come in. Is he the same guy.

Answer 1

Jesus is the Son of God, he came down to earth and healed almost every one from sickness that he came in contact with. He died on the cross and sweat blood for us to take away our sins. He is the only one who could do that because he is the only person who was ever in the flesh that never sinned. He then after 3 days rose from the grave and went to the father, Thus he also can now resurrect all people who ever lived so that they to can have their body. He is the only way to heaven.

Answer 2

Muslim rose
me as a muslim cant put things in a better way than you did
but all the time when i read about this matter and the answers of christians,i cant resist my self of thinking,why do christians intend to say that the last part of jesus life was staged,why would they insist that he died on the cross,I am not to argue this particlar thing what quran says,but why would christians give"god"as they say this mans thing,why then to come to conflict point, is jesus "god"or son of god,?,died is mans nature,if he was god,and to die,why did not he stayed dead,if that was gods order,i doubt god wanted to stage that,to make him die then to say(ok pple you killed him but i should give him life again),if he was god or son of god,would he get tired of carrying the cross,or feeling pain of torture,so many questions which crossed ones mind,all these things are closer to stage than real life
those who wrote the bible
it was well declared that jesus said "i am son of man" i can understand this,as long as they were coppying jesus in what he said,to me that is i am a man,so as long as jesus says i am a son of man,why to argue if he is son of god
in other placies jesus adressed the pple as sons og god,so it comes clear that son of god here is the likage of the human nature between all man to god
i must admit that as much as i listened to this i did not get the answer.
Quran says even those were close to him were in doubt(muslim rose has the full equatation), ok they were in doubt,but they were not strong enough to pass these doubts to us,in some place these feelings were not passed to us,quran has revealed it.

Answer 3

if he ever existed in the first place he is probably just the center piece of much exploitative legend, fable and controversy. Even the theistic religions all disagree on what he did and who he was . I believe it is only idol curiosity and at best food for thought for those that are not so gullible as to believe anything they are told .

Answer 4

Jesus paid the penalty for mankind's sin because we could not afford to pay it ourselves.

God is the Creator of the universe and all that is in it.
Jesus is the only Son of God to be born on Earth.
That makes Him God also, in Earthly form.

Answer 5

God is spirit. (The Father) Jesus is the exact replica of God in the Flesh. And yes He is God. (God the son)
Jesus healed the sick,raised the dead,cast out demon possessed people,fed many people miraculously,preached about God,heaven & hell. Jesus was our example on how to live morally & honorably. He took on all of our sins past,present, & future. He died for our sins,so we could be restored to God the Father in relationship with Him & have eternal life with him once we leave this earth.

Answer 6

Jesus did die on the bypass for us all so as that our sins in this worldwide might desire to be forgiven. Jesus is God's Son and the sacrifice for our sins. God gave Him to us so as that while we settle for Jesus into our existence, we draw closer to God, grow to be Christians, and bypass to heaven to be with God continuously while we die. We have fun Jesus' delivery at Christmas. to settle for Jesus into your existence, you could say a prayer like this: "expensive God, "i be attentive to that i'm a sinner and that Jesus is the sacrifice for my sins. I relatively have accomplished here sins (state those out) and that i pray to stop those sins. I pray to obtain Jesus Christ into my existence as my Lord and Savior continuously. In Jesus' call, amen." asserting this prayer forgives your sins. Jesus is the bridge to God. God bless.

Answer 10

The Greatest Man of All Time
WHOM would you pick as the greatest man who ever lived? Noah, who survived the Flood and became forefather to everyone now alive? (Genesis 7:1, 21, 22; 9:18, 19) Nebuchadnezzar, the ancient world ruler and builder of the splendid city that he called Babylon the Great? (Daniel 4:28-30) Perhaps Alexander the Great, noted even in Bible prophecy for his exploits? (Daniel 8:5-8, 21-22) Or what about Julius Caesar, the famous Roman ruler?

Within 45 years of the death of the Caesar just mentioned, a child named Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Did he become the greatest man of all time? About a hundred years ago, the reference work The Historians’ History of the World observed: “The historical result of [Jesus’] activities was more momentous, even from a strictly secular standpoint, than the deeds of any other character of history. A new era, recognised by the chief civilisations of the world, dates from his birth.”

To this day, interest in Jesus Christ remains intense. A few years ago, the prominent U.S. newsmagazines Time, Newsweek, and U.S.News and World Report all featured cover stories about him at the same time. And, if anything, such interest in Jesus seems to have increased. “His spirit is alive in movies, music and fashion,” noted the Toronto Star newspaper in 2004. “He has made it into our pantheon of heroes.”

Strangely, however, in the not-too-distant past, some argued that Jesus never existed. Bruno Bauer (1809-82) was a prominent teacher who made such a claim. One of his students was Karl Marx. Recently, Robert E. Van Voorst, in his book Jesus Outside the New Testament, wrote: “Marx would incorporate Bauer’s ideas of the mythical origins of Jesus into his ideology, and official Soviet literature and other Communist propaganda later spread this claim.”

Today, though, few deny that Jesus really lived. In fact, there is very little about which there is more agreement than that he was a real and very important person. The heading of a Wall Street Journal editorial in December 2002 stated: “Science Can’t Ignore Jesus.” Its writer concluded: “Most scholars, barring the stray atheist, have already accepted Jesus of Nazareth as a historical person.”

But Jesus was much more than just a historical person. “It would require much exotic calculation,” Time magazine reported, “to deny that the single most powerful figure—not merely in these two millenniums but in all human history—has been Jesus of Nazareth.” It added: “A serious argument can be made that no one else’s life has proved remotely as powerful and enduring as that of Jesus.”

Still, the questions remain: Who really was he? From where did he come? What was his purpose on earth? And why is it so important that we know everything that we can about him?

Is Jesus Christ God?
ACCORDING to reliable history, a man named Jesus was born over 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem, a small town in the land of Judea. Herod the Great was king in Jerusalem then, and Caesar Augustus was emperor in Rome. (Matthew 2:1; Luke 2:1-7) Roman historians of the first two centuries generally avoided mentioning Jesus, since Roman rulers at that time were trying to suppress Christianity.

On the other hand, The Historians’ History of the World observes: “The historical result of [Jesus’] activities was more momentous, even from a strictly secular standpoint, than the deeds of any other character of history. A new era, recognised by the chief civilisations of the world, dates from [Jesus’] birth.”

Time magazine reported that more books have been written about Jesus than any other person in history. Many of these books focus on the question of Jesus’ identity, that is, who he really is. There has perhaps been more controversy about this matter than about any other subject in human history.

Early Questions About Identity
When Mary was told that she would have a child and that she was to name him Jesus, she asked: “How is this to be, since I am having no intercourse with a man?” God’s angel Gabriel replied: “Power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy, God’s Son.”—Luke 1:30-35.

Later, Jesus performed miracles that caused his apostles to marvel. When a mighty windstorm threatened to sink their boat on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus calmed the waters with the rebuke “Hush! Be quiet!” In astonishment, his apostles exclaimed: “Who really is this?”—Mark 4:35-41; Matthew 8:23-27.

Questions about Jesus’ real identity became common among people of his day, so Jesus asked his apostles who people were saying he was. “Some say John the Baptist,” they replied, “others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets”—all of whom were then dead. Afterward Jesus asked: “‘You, though, who do you say I am?’ In answer Simon Peter said: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’” Even the demons—wicked angels—said of Jesus: “You are the Son of God.”—Matthew 16:13-16; Luke 4:41.

Who Jesus Said He Was
Although Jesus rarely spoke of himself as God’s Son, he did acknowledge that he was. (Mark 14:61, 62; John 3:18; 5:25, 26; 11:4) Almost invariably, however, he said that he was “the Son of man.” By identifying himself this way, he highlighted his human birth—the fact that he was truly a man. Thus he also revealed himself to be that “son of man” whom Daniel had seen in vision appearing before Almighty God—“the Ancient of Days.”—Matthew 20:28; Daniel 7:13.

Rather than proclaim himself to be God’s Son, Jesus allowed others to reach that conclusion. And even people besides his apostles did so, including John the Baptist and Jesus’ friend Martha. (John 1:29-34; 11:27) These believed that Jesus was the promised Messiah. They learned that he had lived in heaven as a mighty spirit person and that his life had been miraculously transferred by God to the womb of the virgin Mary.—Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:20-23.

Similar to the First Man, Adam
In many respects, Jesus was similar to the first man, Adam. For example, both were perfect men who did not have a human father. (Genesis 2:7, 15) So the Bible calls Jesus “the last Adam”—a perfect man who could serve as “a corresponding ransom.” Jesus’ life corresponded to that of “the first man Adam,” whom God created as a perfect human.—1 Corinthians 15:45; 1 Timothy 2:5, 6.

No One Better Known
The account of Jesus’ life was recorded by four of his contemporaries—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—two of whom were intimate associates. Their books, named after them, are commonly called the Gospels, parts of which can be read in over two thousand languages. These small books are usually incorporated with others that make up the Bible. The circulation of the Gospels—either as individual books or as part of the Bible—is greater by far than that of any other writings in history. No wonder that Jesus is better known than any man who has ever lived!

The first Adam is called in the Bible “son of God.” (Luke 3:38) However, that Adam lost his precious relationship as God’s son by willfully disobeying God. On the other hand, Jesus was always faithful to his heavenly Father, and he remained God’s approved Son. (Matthew 3:17; 17:5) The Bible says that all who exercise faith in Jesus, accepting him as their Savior, can receive everlasting life.—John 3:16, 36; Acts 5:31; Romans 5:12, 17-19.

Yet, some argue that Jesus is not simply the Son of God but that he is actually God himself. They say that he and his Father are both Almighty God. Are they correct? Is Jesus somehow part of God? Is that what Jesus, or any of the Bible writers, said? Really, who is the only true God? Who did Jesus say He is? Let us see
