Jesus Christ Before Pilate by Mihály Munkácsy (1844–1900)

Jesus Christ is the Savior who came in the flesh and was sacrificed on the cross 2,000 years ago for the salvation of all mankind.[1] After being baptized at the age of thirty, He started His ministry and preached the gospel of the kingdom for three years, establishing the new covenant. He was rejected by the Jews and the religious leaders of that time and was arrested the night he established the New Covenant Passover, which contains the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. He died on the cross the next day and on the third day, He was resurrected and ascended to heaven forty days later. Before His ascension, He entrusted His disciples with the mission to preach the gospel of the kingdom to the whole world. Jesus’ whole life was a fulfillment of the prophecies in the Bible, and was a sacrifice and love for the salvation of mankind. The precious blood of Christ that was shed on the cross opened the way for mankind to wash away their sins to enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Meaning of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ means Jesus the Savior. It is a combination of the proper noun Jesus, a common name in Israel, and the word Christ, which means anointed one. Jesus is Yehoshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַַ) in Hebrew which means “Jehovah rescues.” It is also used as Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ). Christ is derived from the Greek word khrīstós (Χριστός),[2] meaning anointed one, which is from the Greek verb chrió (χρίω), meaning to anoint. The word Messiah, which is synonymous with Christ, also means anointed one. It is an Aramaic word equivalent to the Hebrew word mâshîyach (מָשִׁיחַ) which is derived from the verb mashákh (מָשַׁח) meaning to anoint with oil.[3][4][5]

The Appearance and Living Environment of Jesus Christ

Christ in Joseph’s Workshop by Matteo Pagano

In today’s world, the media depicts Jesus Christ’s appearance in beautiful and mystical ways through various works of art.[6][7] Jesus’ appearance recorded in the Bible, however, was described as very ordinary.[8][9] The name Jesus was a common name among the Jews at that time.[10] Also, Jesus’ life and living environment were not admirable in people’s eyes. Having nothing desirable in His appearance, Jesus had a physical family, a job as a carpenter, and ordinary food, clothing, and shelter. Sometimes, He ate without washing His hands and even accompanied people who were frowned upon in society.[11][12][13] Jesus’ physical aspect became a justification for the Jews and religious leaders to reject Him.

The Life of Jesus Christ

In the book of Isaiah, there was a prophecy that God would be born as a child. A painting from around the 18th century by an author unknown

Jesus’ life was a series of sufferings from His birth to His death on the cross. At the time of His birth, He was in danger of losing His life to King Herod,[14] and after He was baptized at the age of thirty, He faced temptations from the devil.[15] Also, while preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, He was rejected by people because He appeared as a “mere man.”[16] On the night He established the New Covenant Passover, He was betrayed by one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot.[17] Arrested by the soldiers, Jesus was taken before the Sanhedrin and was crucified after being ridiculed, humiliated, severely flogged, and tortured.[18] On the cross, He fulfilled the new covenant of the Passover, which gives us His flesh and blood.[19] He was resurrected on the third day and granted the mission of preaching the gospel to His disciples before His ascension.[20][21] The life of Jesus, which was marked by extreme suffering, brought about a revival in the early Church and shined the light of salvation on mankind.

Jesus’ Birth

Jesus’ birth was fulfilled according to the prophecies in the Old Testament. According to the prophecies in the books of Isaiah and Micah (recorded around 700 BC), Jesus was conceived by the virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit and was born in a stable in Bethlehem.[22][23] When King Herod heard the news of the birth of Christ from the Magi from the east, he gave an order to kill all the boys who were living in Bethlehem who were two years old and under; but with God’s help, Jesus fled to Egypt.[24] No matter how hard Satan tried to stop the coming of the Savior, he could not alter God’s predestined plan.[25][26]

The Beginning of Jesus’ Ministry (Baptism)

Jesus’ ministry began when He was baptized by John the Baptist at the age of thirty.[27] John the Baptist was given the mission of Elijah to prepare the way for Christ coming in the flesh.[28][29][30] After Jesus was baptized, He went to the desert where He prayed and fasted for forty days. After fasting and praying, He was tempted by the devil, but He firmly resisted all temptations through the words of the Bible.[15]

Preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom

Christ Healing the Blind Man by Eustache Le Sueur

After overcoming the devil’s temptations, Jesus began to preach the gospel of the kingdom.[31] He healed the sick and extended salvation to the neglected. Praying early in the morning, He went preaching in every village and taught about the spiritual blessings of entering the kingdom of heaven.[32] The Jews and religious leaders, however, rejected Jesus only focusing on His physical attributes. They even tried to stone Him, saying, “You, a mere man, claim to be God.”[16] His relatives also tried to seize Him because they thought He was out of His mind.[33] In the midst of being despised and persecuted, Jesus took pity on people and went to every city and village to preach the gospel of the kingdom.[34]

Passion Week (From Entering Into Jerusalem to the Suffering on the Cross)

  • Jesus Christ Being Crowned With Thorns by Pieter Jozef Verhaghen

Passion Week refers to the week from the day Jesus entered Jerusalem, riding on a colt, until He died on the cross. During Passion Week, Jesus kept the New Covenant Passover with His disciples and was arrested by soldiers that night. He went through severe suffering until the next day and then was sacrificed on the cross. According to the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah, Jesus’ suffering contains the love of Christ and His eager desire to save mankind.

Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected on the third day. After His resurrection, He awakened His disciples to the prophecies in the Bible and taught them to preach the gospel to all people until He ascended.[57][58] By the Sea of Tiberias, He asked Peter to take care of the saints, saying, “Feed My sheep.”[59] On the fortieth day after His resurrection, Jesus ascended to heaven. He told His disciples not to leave Jerusalem until they received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told them once they received the Holy Spirit, they should go to Samaria and to the ends of the earth to be His witnesses.[21] The disciples, who were discouraged by the death of Jesus, reestablished their faith through His resurrection and ascension. While boldly preaching about Jesus Christ in various places, an explosive work of the gospel took place in the early Church.

The Biblical Prophecies

Jesus said that the Scriptures (Bible) testify about the Savior.[60] When He said this, He was referring to the Old Testament since the New Testament was not written yet. In the Old Testament, there are prophecies about Jesus coming as the Savior. Among them, the book of Isaiah prophesied that God Jehovah would come to the earth in the flesh as the Savior; this prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus Christ. The Jews at that time rejected Jesus because of His physical attributes and crucified the Messiah whom they had longed for. The apostles, however, believed the prophecies in the Bible and accepted Jesus as their Savior.

Christ Testified through the Bible

Meeting on the Road to Emmaus by Adolf Zimmermann (1799–1859)

Jesus’ fulfillment of the prophecies in the Bible is the clearest evidence that He is Christ. He fulfilled all Biblical prophecies from the time of His birth to after His suffering on the cross.

Jesus testified that He is the Savior through the Bible. When John the Baptist asked Him, “Are you the one who was to come?” Jesus explained the prophecies of the Bible to him.[61] When the disciples met Jesus on their way to Emmaus, even though they did not recognize Him, Jesus testified about Himself through the Bible to them.[57] The apostles such as John and Paul understood through the Bible that Jesus was Christ and proclaimed His name to the world.[62][1]

Jesus Is God the Father

Although Jesus was in the flesh, He is God.[1] Throughout the Old and New Testaments, there are many proofs that show Jesus is God the Father (Jehovah). The apostles, who realized through the Bible who Jesus was, testified that He was God who had come in the flesh.[63]
Even though God is omniscient and worthy to be glorified, the reason He appeared on this earth in the flesh was to lead mankind to salvation. Since mankind is destined to die because of sin,[64] God came in the flesh to die on behalf of His people so they would not have to pay for their sins. The New Covenant is a special law that Jesus established with His precious flesh and blood. Through this law, mankind can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The Old Testament prophesied that God Jehovah would establish a new covenant for the forgiveness of sins.[65]
The following shows how the Bible testifies that Jesus is God the Father.

Title Explanation Verses
God the Father The book of Isaiah says that the child, the Savior who is born as a son, is “Mighty God” and “Everlasting Father.” It is God Jehovah who is called “Father.” This means that Jesus is God the Father.[66][67] Isa 9:6
Immanuel The prophecy about Immanuel in the Old Testament was fulfilled by Jesus. Immanuel means “God is with us.” This means that Jesus is God the Father. Isa 7:14
Mt 1:19–23
Savior In the Old Testament, it is written that God Jehovah is the only Savior; in the New Testament, it is written that Jesus is the only Savior. This means that God Jehovah in the Age of the Father is Jesus in the Age of the Son. Isa 43:11
Ac 4:11–12
Lord of the Sabbath In the Old Testament, God Jehovah says, “You must observe My Sabbaths;” in the New Testament, it is written that Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. This means that Jesus is God Jehovah who is the Lord of the Sabbath.

Ex 31:13
Mk 2:28

Alpha and Omega The Greek letters alpha and omega means first and last. In the book of Revelation, it is written that God Jehovah and Jesus are both the Alpha and the Omega. This means that Jesus and God Jehovah are one and the same. Rev 1:8
Rev 22:13

The Reason Why God Came in the Flesh

  • The Ransom for the Salvation of Mankind
Jesus said that He gave Himself as a ransom for the salvation of mankind.[68] Apostle Paul said that Jesus demonstrated His love for us by dying on the cross for us, sinners.[69] This can also be understood through the Old Testament law, which is a shadow. In the Old Testament, people received the forgiveness of sins through the sacrifice of animals such as sheep and goats. In the New Testament, however, Jesus, who was without sin, was sacrificed for the sins of mankind.[70][71] The best example of this is the sacrifice of the Passover lambs in the Old Testament.[72] As the Israelites escaped death by slaughtering the Passover lambs,[73] mankind can escape death and receive eternal life through the flesh and blood of Jesus.[74][75] On the night of the Passover, Jesus established the new covenant by giving His flesh and blood through the Passover bread and wine. The next day, He fulfilled the covenant when His flesh was torn and His blood was shed on the cross.
  • The New Covenant
Another reason why Jesus had to come in the flesh was to establish the new covenant, the truth of life. In the book of Jeremiah, it was prophesied that God would establish the new covenant.[65] In the book of Malachi, it was also prophesied that the LORD God would come as the messenger of the covenant.[76] By establishing the new covenant, Jesus fulfilled both of these prophecies. God Himself came in the flesh and established the new covenant that gives mankind the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.[19]
  • Jesus Set an Example of How to Go to Heaven
Jesus came in the flesh to set an example of how to enter the kingdom of heaven for mankind. All the work of Jesus is related to salvation. The most remarkable of all His work was His keeping the Passover of the new covenant. Although Jesus is without sin, He kept the Passover so that mankind could receive the forgiveness of sins.[74] Before the holy supper of the Passover, Jesus washed the feet of His disciples during the Foot Washing Ceremony.[44] In regard to this, Jesus said, “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”[77] In addition, Jesus underwent baptism (a ceremony for the forgiveness of sins),[78] kept the Sabbath day as His custom,[79] prayed continuously, and preached the gospel of the kingdom.[32] In this way, He set an example of how to receive salvation for His disciples. The work He did throughout His life were for Him to lead mankind to the kingdom of heaven. Unless God comes in the flesh, it is impossible for people to know the way to enter Heaven.

The Teachings of Jesus Christ

Jesus Teaching in the Temple by O. A. Stemler and Bess Bruce Cleaveland

For details, refer to: Teachings of Jesus Christ and Parables by Jesus

Throughout His ministry, Jesus taught with love and sacrificed to lead mankind to the kingdom of heaven. He came as the reality of the sacrificial offerings in the Old Testament and fulfilled the regulations of the new covenant by shedding His blood on the cross. He awakened us to the value of the kingdom of heaven and gave us hope. He also taught us that God is “our Father in heaven.” Although He is God by nature, He personally set an example of humility and servanthood. Before ascending to heaven, He left the mission of preaching the gospel to His disciples.

The Regulations of the New Covenant

The new covenant is the truth of life that Jesus established for the salvation of mankind. The Old Testament, or the Old Covenant, is a shadow; and the New Covenant is its reality. As animals were used as blood sacrifices to atone for the people’s sins in the Old Testament, Jesus, who is the reality of those sacrifices, fulfilled the regulations of the new covenant by shedding His blood on the cross for the sins of mankind in the New Testament. The Bible records the feasts of the new covenant, which Jesus taught, as the Sabbath (a weekly feast), and the Passover, the Pentecost, the Feast of Tabernacles, etc. (the annual seven feasts in three times).[74][79][80][81] Among them, Jesus kept the Passover of the new covenant with His disciples the day before He died on the cross, and promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through this feast. If we realize God’s providence contained in this feast, we can understand that the new covenant is God’s love and that love is the fulfillment of the law.

  • The New Covenant Passover
The holy supper of the Passover known as “The Last Supper.”
The holy supper of the Passover known as “The Last Supper.”

The Last Supper, a well-known painting by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), depicts the scene of Jesus holding the last supper with His disciples the day before His death on the cross. The biblical name of this supper is called the Passover of the new covenant. The Bible records that Jesus eagerly desired to keep the Passover.[82] The reason He eagerly desired to keep the Passover was that it was directly related to salvation. Mankind is destined to die because of their sins, but they can receive redemption through the blood of Christ.[64][83][84] Jesus said that the Passover bread and wine are His flesh and blood. He promised that through the Passover His people can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.[74][75] On the day of the Passover of the new covenant, God promised to give His flesh and blood. The next day, Jesus fulfilled the covenant of the Passover when His flesh was torn and His blood was shed on the cross.[85] Jesus opened the way to the forgiveness of sins and salvation for mankind by dying on the cross for their sins.


And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”

Luke 22:19–20


  • The New Command Is Love

Jesus gave His disciples a new command, “Love one another.”[86] The new command and the Passover of the new covenant are inseparable. This can be understood through the principle of love contained in the Passover. Jesus allowed the saints to become one with Him by eating His flesh and drinking His blood through the New Covenant Passover. Through this feast, the saints become one body in Christ.[87] Although loving others does not come naturally to people, the saints who are united by keeping the Passover come to love one another as themselves.

“ By sharing in the flesh and blood of Jesus, all brothers become one body in Him and come to love one another as themselves. . . Since we have now become one body in Jesus, is there anyone who hates his own body? Even though we cannot love because we are evil by nature, if Jesus’ flesh and blood is in us, we come to love our brothers. “
— Ahnsahnghong (April 25, 2016), The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life, Melchizedek Publishing Co., LTD.

Hope for the Kingdom of Heaven

Jesus taught us about the kingdom of heaven’s existence and value, which mankind was unaware of. Through parables such as the “treasure hidden in the field” and the “pearl of great value,” He gave His people hope for heaven.[88] He also shared the qualifications needed to enter the kingdom of heaven through the Sermon on the Mount. Those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness and do the will of God can enter the kingdom of heaven.[89][90] Jesus taught us to store up treasures in heaven so that our hearts can go toward heaven.[91] Mankind regards living on this earth as everything; however, Jesus taught us about the kingdom of heaven where there is no more death, pain, or sorrow.[92]

The Relationship Between God and Us

Through the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus revealed that God and His people have the same relationship that a father has with his children.[93] The word father is used within a family. As there are physical families on this earth, there is also a spiritual family in heaven.[94][95][96][97] This means that God and the saints are a spiritual family connected by love.

Humility and Servanthood

Jesus washed His disciples’ feet before the holy supper of the Passover. He personally set an example of humility and servanthood
Jesus washed His disciples’ feet before the holy supper of the Passover. He personally set an example of humility and servanthood

Jesus’ teachings about humility and servanthood are recorded throughout the Bible. Through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus taught that those who humble themselves will be exalted.[98] He taught us how to humble ourselves and serve others by setting an example for us. A prime example is the Foot Washing Ceremony, which was kept before the holy supper of the Passover. At that time, washing someone’s feet was the role of a person in a lower position such as a servant.[99][100] Jesus, however, washed the disciples’ feet Himself.[44] In regard to this, He said, “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”[77]

The Mission of Preaching the Gospel

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He left the mission of preaching the gospel with His disciples. He asked Peter three times, “Do you love Me?” Whenever Peter replied that he loved Him, Jesus taught him to take care of the saints who were compared to sheep.[59] Jesus also told His disciples to preach the gospel and said, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”[20] After Jesus’ ascension, in obedience to His teachings, the apostles made every effort to save souls by preaching the gospel of the new covenant in various places.
