Christians Believe (3): There’s something about Jesus!

We live in an era where there is a smorgasbord of religions to choose from, but which one actually has it right? From a distance, you could make the mistake of thinking that all the world religions are actually talking about the same god and the same way of living i.e. trying hard to be really good and living a happy life. However, Christians make this unique and amazing claim that God became a man to rescue us from all of our sins.



The message Christians proclaim stands separate from other religions. Most religions claim that there is a god or gods, and we need to try really hard to make him or her happy. Other world views claim that there isn't a god out there, but you have a divine spark inside you or that god is the world; this view is expressed in the movie "Avatar", or god is Mother Nature or even animals. Or there are those who believe there is no god at all- that the world just came into being. Surely not- are we merely just accidents who live in a meaningless world?

Uniquely, Christianity claims that the world was created by God, that we have all sinned (rebelled) and are all in need of a saviour. Therefore, God became a man - the man Jesus, living a sinless life, and went on to die on a cross for our sins and offer us eternal life through himself. Jesus is the King of the universe! Christianity claims that God loves you! So much so that he sent his Son to die for you!

There is most certainly something about Jesus! He is God, the second member of the trinity. Christianity is all about JESUS. There is no Christianity without Jesus. Jesus is the answer- he is the way the truth and our life. He died on a cross for sin! He rose again! He now reigns as king in heaven. Have you ever considered these things? Are you considering these things right now? Jesus says to us "Search and you will find". Today, why not look into what Jesus has to say?
