About Christ

Simply put, Christ is the Savior of the World!  He is many things to many people and everything to Christians!  Without Jesus Christ, Christianity is nothing.  He is the original Christian and the creator of Christianity.  From beginning to end, in all its various phases aspects, and elements, the Christian faith and life are determined by the person and work of Jesus Christ.  The Christian hope is a hope which Christ inspired and which He alone will fulfill. Christ is the second person in the Godhead.  God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.  He is the part of the divine Godhead who volunteered to put on humanity and become the mediator between God the Father and the sins of mankind.  He paid for the sins of the whole world by being born in sin and shaped in iniquity, but living a sinless life for the 33 years he was here on earth.  He then laid down his life in death and picked it up again in three days by resurrection, (just as it had been prophesied), declaring that he had all power in his hand.  He is the first fruit of the resurrection who then ascended into heaven for all the world to see.  This solidified the hope of the Christian that, by faith, believing in Jesus Christ, and being baptized (an outward expression of an inward change), we are saved; according to the Word of God, (St. John 3:16).  The Christian belief and faith in Jesus Christ and the salvation he offers to sinners, provides for them the hope to live eternally in heaven with God once totally freed by passing from death unto life.
