Jesus: Who He Is and Why He Matters 

Big Idea: 

Jesus is not just a good man or wise teacher—He is God, the Savior, and the only hope for humanity. 

  1. Jesus Is God: The Eternal Son

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,for through him God created everything…He existed before anything else,.Colossians 1:15–17  

  1. Jesus Became Human: The Incarnation
