Summary

As you can see, Jesus came into the world just as we did. He lived just as we do, feeling all the human things that affect us each day. He died just as we do. So as it says in Heb 2:14-18, He was made just like us so that He could suffer just like us and be tempted. But the wonderful things is that He did not sin!

He came into this world to save it John 3:17. The Father sent Him here to be a sacrifice for our sins. Thus reconciling us to Him. Jesus performed many miracles as a witness to His being sent from God the Father.

We can see that Jesus was more than just human. With all the powerful acts, we can see that He also was God. He existed before the creation of the world. He had all power over creation while here on earth (had control over laws of nature, had control over life in healing people and raising some from the dead).

He is the greatest man to ever walk this earth. And worthy to be praised and worshipped. He came with the life giving message of redemption and salvation. And it is through Him that we receive these gifts. Thank You Jesus for these gifts!
