1. Name means: God saves
AKA: Immanuel, Son of God, Bread of Life, Son of Man, Messiah,
Lamb of God, High Priest, the Door, the Good Shepherd, Christ, Light
of the World (to name just a few!)
Startling facts: God, the father of all creation, the one who thought
up the universe and created you and me, desires a personal
relationship with us. But because He is God, and we are humans, He
needed a way for us to relate to Him. So He sent His Son, Jesus, to
earth to live a human life, to experience what we go through. The
Bible refers to Jesus as both Son of God and Son of Man—He was
both at the same time!
Did you know? The Old Testament contains approximately 300
prophecies that were fulfilled by Jesus’ life. These prophecies were
given by God to many different prophets hundreds of years before
Jesus was born. Some of these include the place where Jesus would
be born, who He would be born to, aspects of His ministry, and details
of His death and then resurrection. (See “Messianic Prophecies and
Their Fulfillment” parts 1 and 2 for more.)
Coolest trait: He loved us enough to die for us. It doesn’t get any
better than that.
You can too: Jesus said, “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved
you. Abide in my love” (John 15:9 ESV). Abide means “live.” Live
knowing that you are loved.
