Who is Jesus Christ?

To know Jesus Christ is to live the abundant life here on earth and gain an eternal rest after death. He is the good news you need in life. He heals the sick, raise the dead, opens the blind eye and delivers the oppressed (Luke 4:18-19). His I AM declarations tells you the truth about him as the son of God who came to save the world. His genealogy account in the book of Matthew chapter one of the Holy Bible tells you that He was the son of Joseph from the descendant of King David of Israel, and he came from the lineage of Abraham the father of faith (Mathew 1:1). Many powerful prophesies pointing to him as the Savior of the world (Matthew 1:21), the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29), came into existence.

Jesus Christ is the Word of Truth that existed before the foundation of the earth. Although, conceived of the Holy Spirit to a virgin called Mary (Mathew 1:18) he is the solid foundation you need to build your faith and the way to building an authentic intimate relationship with God. This was Mary who was engaged to a carpenter called Joseph the son of David. At the time of his conception, Joseph had purposed in his heart to divorce Mary quietly since he had not been with Mary as a man would be with a woman but she was found pregnant.

Then God the father intervened. He sent his angel to talk to Joseph about Mary’s pregnancy. The angel of the Lord, presumably angel Gabriel who is the bearer of good news appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to accept Mary in her condition because she is pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
