Jesus is the Son of God sent to bring salvation to humanity. While fully human, he lived a sinless life and preached about the Kingdom of God. He performed miracles that showed the Kingdom was both present and something to be achieved in the future. Jesus was crucified but rose from the dead, defeating sin and death. He established the Church to continue his mission and spread the Gospel, empowering it with the Holy Spirit. The Church is both human and divine, with a visible hierarchical structure but also bearing the spiritual presence of Christ.
