About Jesus

Jesus is the Son of God, the  second person of the Trinity who took on flesh to be “God with Us” (Immanuel).  His Name means Yahweh Saves. Indeed he is! Indeed He does!  Jesus, being both truly man and truly God, provides the way for humanity to be reconciled to a perfectly just and gracious God. In the person of Jesus, God’s justice is satisfied. In the person of Jesus, God’s mercy is offered.

Jesus is the link between God and humanity

This is necessary because God and humankind have been separated. Because humanity is lost and spiritually dead due to both our nature and our own disobedient hearts and actions, we cannot work our way back into a good relationship with a holy God. Because humanity is too weak to endure the punishment for sin and overcome death, we cannot save ourselves.

Jesus is the healing balm for the weary and the broken, the fulcrum of history, and the center of everything. Because He died for the sins of His people, we can escape the punishment we deserve. Because he rose from the grave, we can have power to overcome the darkness we each must face daily, both within our own soul as well as in the world around us. Because He lives, we too can live and walk in newness of Life.  He is the joy in our pain, the wisdom for our foolishness, and the reason why we exist. He is Creator God and He is Savior God and through His work on our behalf that we receive by faith, we become Adopted Children of God with all the rights of God’s children.
