The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ was God who became a man; "God was manifested in the flesh" (1 Timothy 3:16a). Everything that God is, Jesus is. He was God (the Word) manifested in the flesh to redeem and reconcile fallen man back to a holy God. |
| Jesus is called God and Lord; KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS; Jehovah; Emmanuel; mighty God; the true God; the Alpha and Omega; the Amen; "the I am"; the Word of God. He is the creator of all life and by Him all things consist. He is heir of all things and upholds everything by the word of his power. All power in heaven and in earth is His. His name is above all names and one day all will have to bow and confess His Lordship. All the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him, and He has all the divine attributes. He has the right and power to forgive sins, to raise the dead, to be the judge of all man, and will return in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. He has the keys of hell and of death. He is worthy to be loved, praised, worshipped, adored, obeyed, and served by all of His creation. In another lies no greater love , neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. |
| Jesus was God the Son, He is from everlasting. Yet He chose to leave the beauty of heaven and die on the cross to save men from their sins. |

|
| God wants to put His power to work in everyone's life to bring change, healing, and growth. He has a plan for everyone's life, one that will last forever. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever and He came to save, heal, and deliver all those who will allow Him. |

After Jesus' death, He was buried, and on the third day, an awesome miracle happened. |
| He rose from the dead! He overcame death! He lives again!After 40 days of appearing to his disciples and over 500 other people, He ascended back into heaven from which He came, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. He is now interceding (praying) for His children. What an awesome living Lord and Savior! |

Jesus Christ is returning for all those who have made Him the Lord and savior of their lives. He will rapture (gather up) them to be with Him forever in heaven. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18). |
| After He returns and takes His people out of this world, God will pour out His wrath on all those who have rejected Jesus Christ. "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (II Thessalonians 1:7-9) |

|
| One day all creation will have to acknowledge Christ's Lordship. "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father"(Philippians 2:10-11). |  |
