Jesus Christ is God’s Son and an equal of the Father. He has existed from eternity past, yet lived on earth during the first century A.D. Throughout His earthly life, He was completely God and completely human at the same time. After living a perfect, sinless life, Jesus offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for every human being who has ever lived by dying on a Roman cross. After three days in the grave, He defeated sin and death by rising from the grave. He then ascended to Heaven and will return to Earth one day to reign as King. (see Isa. 9:6; John 1:1, 14; 20:28; Phil. 2:5, 6; 1 Tim. 2:5; 3:16)
