Jesus is God's perfect Son, He is God the Son. That means that
He is God
and He became a man and lived a perfect life. The Lord Jesus was the
only person in all of history to ever live His entire life without
sinning.
You would think that everyone would love someone like that, and yet
when He grew up, wicked men took the Lord Jesus and nailed Him to a
wooden
cross. This red page reminds me that they left Him there to bleed and
die.
When He died He was taking the punishment for something He didn't even
do. He was willingly taking the punishment for every sin that you and
I and everyone in the world has ever done. The punishment was to die.
And the Lord Jesus knew that the only way that your sin could be forgiven
would be if He would die for you. Jesus died for your sins. The Bible
says that "without the shedding of blood there is no [forgiveness]".
(Hebrews 9:22b)
As He died, the Lord Jesus said, "It is finished." Everything
that needed to be done for your sins to be taken away had been done by
Him on the cross.
They buried His body. But three days later He proved that He could take
away your sins and give you everlasting life by coming back to life!
And without dying again, He returned to Heaven, where He is today.
Because Jesus is God's Son who died for you, you can become His child
right now!
