Get to Know Jesus
A clear introduction to Jesus Christ — His identity, His life, His death, and His resurrection.
With Scripture and history, without noise.
Who He is.
What He did.
What it means for you.
The Core Claim
Christianity is built on one central claim.
Jesus is the Son of God—God in the flesh.
He is not only a moral teacher or a religious leader.
He is God who entered human history as a real man, in a real place, at a real time.

New Testament
Old Testament
Meet Jesus
Jesus didn’t come to build a religious fanbase. He came to meet real people where they actually were: tired, stuck, ashamed, overlooked.
If you want to know what He’s like, start with His own invitations and actions:
He welcomed outsiders — and went looking for the “lost.”
Luke 19:10
Luke 15:1–2
Matthew 23:27
He challenged hypocrisy — especially when it crushed people instead of helping them.
Matthew 23:4
Mark 7:6
Matthew 23:4
He offered rest — to the heavy-laden and anxious.
Matthew 11:28-29
What did Jesus come to do
Restore you to God.
Carry your sin.
Defeat death.
Christians believe Jesus came to reconcile people to God — not through self-improvement, but through the cross and resurrection.
What Jesus came to do
Restore you to God.
Forgive you completely.
Give you new life.
The Cross
The cross is the centre of Christianity because Christians believe Jesus was executed by crucifixion in Jerusalem, and that His death was not an accident—it was the plan.
Christians believe He died to deal with sin and bring people back to God.
And the New Testament claims this was foretold long before it happened.
What Happened
Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem.
Luke 23:33
It happened under Roman authority.
Luke 23:24
He truly died.
John 19:34
He was buried in a tomb.
Luke 23:53
Fulfilled Scripture
He was wounded for our transgressions.
Isaiah 53:5
They pierced my hands and my feet… they part my garments among them.
Psalm 22:16–18
They shall look upon me whom they have pierced.
Zechariah 12:10
Why it maters
The cross is where Christianity says forgiveness becomes real.
Meaning:
Sin is dealt with, not ignored.
2 Corinthians 5:21
You can be forgiven, not because you earned it, but because Jesus paid the cost
1 Peter 2:24
You can come to God honestly—no pretending, no performance.
Hebrews 4:16

The Resurrection
Christians believe Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after His burial.
This is the foundation of the Christian message—because if Jesus rose, He is who He claimed to be. And the earliest witnesses said they saw Him alive and preached it publicly from the start.
What Happened
On the third day, the tomb was found empty.
Luke 24:6
The apostles preached the resurrection publicly in Jerusalem.
Acts 2:32
The earliest Christian summary was simple: died, buried, raised.
Acts 4:33
The early witness
The New Testament claims Jesus was seen alive by many witnesses—not once, but repeatedly.
He appeared to individuals and to groups.
1 Corinthians 15:5–6
The resurrection was preached as historical fact.
Acts 10:40–41
The resurrection was treated as the foundation, not a side detail.
Romans 1:4
Fulfilled Scripture
The Old Testament doesn’t only speak about suffering—it also speaks about God not leaving His Holy One in the grave.
The Old Testament points to a Messiah who would not remain in the grave.
Psalm 16:10
It speaks of God’s Holy One not seeing corruption.
Hosea 6:2
It points to life after suffering—death not having the final word.
Hosea 13:14
Why it matters
The resurrection is the line between “inspiring story” and “living reality.” If Jesus rose, then His claim to be the Son of God is not wishful thinking.
It means death is not final, forgiveness stands, and Jesus is alive—not only remembered.
Jesus is declared to be the Son of God with power.
Romans 1:4
Death is not the final word.
Revelation 1:18
Christianity is not just teaching—Jesus is alive and can be known.
John 14:19

How to get to know Jesus
You don’t need to have it all figured out, you just need a first real step.
Read the Gospels - Start with John
Don’t read it like a textbook. Read it to answer three questions:
Who does Jesus say He is?
What does He do with broken people?
What response does He ask for?
Talk to God honestly
Prayer is not performance. It’s honesty.
If you don’t know what to say, start here:
God, if You are real, I want to know You.
Jesus, if You are who You claimed to be, lead me into the truth.
Forgive me. Change me. Teach me how to follow You.

If you need evidence first
That’s not rebellion. Some people need clarity before they commit.
Start with the public facts and the earliest claims—then decide what they mean.
