Studying the Person and work of Jesus Christ—His deity, humanity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, resurrection, ascension, and future return.
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 3041 After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples over a period of forty days, teaching them about the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). Then, on the Mount of Olives, He was taken up before their eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight (Acts 1:9). He was gone. Why? If Jesus had…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3043 The most common title given to Jesus in the New Testament is “Lord” — in Greek, Κύριος (Kyrios). It appears hundreds of times, far more frequently than “Christ” or “Saviour.” The early church’s basic confession was “Jesus is Lord” (Romans 10:9; 1 Corinthians 12:3). But what does this title actually mean? Is it…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3040 The resurrection of Jesus is not only the vindication of His claims and the guarantee of our salvation — it is also the pattern for our own future resurrection. When Jesus rose from the dead, He did not return as a ghost or a spirit. He rose bodily, physically, tangibly. And the body…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3031 Throughout history, various groups have tried to reduce Jesus to the level of an exalted angel. Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that Jesus is Michael the Archangel. Some early heresies considered Jesus the greatest of angelic beings. Even today, people sometimes speak of Jesus as if He were simply a more important messenger from God….
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3030 The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness raises a profound question. If Jesus is God, and God cannot sin, then was His temptation genuine? Can a temptation be real if there is no possibility of yielding to it? Some argue that if Jesus could not sin, His temptation was merely a show, a…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3029 Colossians 1:15 describes Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation.” Critics of Christianity, particularly Jehovah’s Witnesses and other groups that deny Jesus’ deity, seize upon this phrase as proof that Jesus was the first thing God created. If He is the “firstborn,” surely He must have been born at some point? This question…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3028 This question strikes at the heart of who Jesus really is. If Jesus was born in Bethlehem around 4 BC, how can Christians claim He is eternal? Wasn’t there a point when He didn’t exist? This apparent contradiction has puzzled honest seekers and been exploited by cults for centuries. Yet the answer reveals…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3025 The three days between Good Friday and Easter Sunday have long puzzled Christians. Where was Jesus during that time? What was He doing? The question is not idle curiosity but touches on the nature of death, the reality of Christ’s human experience, and the scope of His victory. Scripture gives us enough to…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3022 Jesus has not retired. Far from sitting idle in some distant corner of the cosmos, He is actively engaged in work that touches the life of every believer every single day. Understanding what Jesus is doing right now in heaven is not merely an academic exercise; it is immensely practical and deeply comforting….
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…
