Studying the Person and work of Jesus Christ—His deity, humanity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, resurrection, ascension, and future return.
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3021 It is one thing to know that Jesus rose from the dead; it is quite another to know where He is right now and what He is doing. The ascension of Jesus is not simply the end of His earthly ministry but the beginning of something wonderful for every believer. Where is Jesus…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3027 When the eternal Son of God took on human nature in the womb of Mary, was this a temporary arrangement? Did Jesus shed His humanity when He ascended to heaven? The answer has profound implications for our salvation, our hope, and our worship. The good news is that Jesus remains fully human even…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3019 Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection of Jesus. Paul put it bluntly: “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins” (1 Corinthians 15:17). The resurrection is not a peripheral belief we can take or leave; it is the foundation upon which everything else…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3015 About halfway through His earthly ministry, Jesus took three of His disciples up a high mountain, and there something extraordinary happened. His appearance changed, His glory was revealed, and Moses and Elijah appeared to speak with Him. This event, known as the Transfiguration, is recorded in all three Synoptic Gospels and stands as…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3014 When Jesus came to John at the Jordan to be baptised, even John was puzzled. “I need to be baptised by you, and do you come to me?” (Matthew 3:14). John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Mark 1:4). But Jesus was sinless. He had no sins to…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3012 Two titles appear throughout the Gospels that can cause confusion: “Son of God” and “Son of Man.” Some assume they mean the same thing; others think “Son of God” emphasises deity while “Son of Man” emphasises humanity. The truth is both richer and more theologically profound than either simplistic explanation. Understanding these titles…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3007 This question gets to the heart of what kind of humanity Jesus possessed. When Adam fell, sin entered the human race, and every descendant of Adam has inherited what we call a “sin nature”—that inward corruption and inclination toward evil that affects every part of our being. If Jesus was truly human, did…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3006 We often emphasise the deity of Jesus, and rightly so. But Scripture is equally insistent that Jesus was genuinely, fully, and completely human. This is not a secondary matter. The reality of Jesus’ humanity is essential to our salvation. If Jesus was not truly human, then He did not truly die. If He…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3011 This is a question that naturally arises from the Gospel accounts. John’s baptism was “a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins” (Mark 1:4). People came confessing their sins and being baptized in the Jordan. But Jesus had no sins to confess. He needed no forgiveness. So why did He insist on…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3010 This question pushes further into the mystery of the incarnation. When exactly did Jesus become aware that He was the eternal Son of God? Did He know from the moment of His birth—or even before, in the womb? Or was this awareness something that developed over time? We are probing deep waters here,…
