jesus as...

• incarnate - the christian belief that God took human form by becoming jesus. Incarnation means 'to take on flesh'
• incarnate - The incarnation shows that Jesus is fully God and fully human "The word (Jesus and God) became flesh and made his dwelling (home) among us"
• incarnate - biblical evidence to show that Jesus is divine and the incarnate of God:

  • conceived of holy spirit
  • knew that Judas would betray him and Peter would deny him
  • performed miracles (healing the sick, resurrection, water into wine)
• messiah - 'the anointed one' . Jesus never explicitly claimed to be the Messiah, the writers of the Gospels claimed he was
• Throughout the New Testament there

  is also evidence of Jesus as the chosen one through his resurrection from the

  dead and the miracles he performed.
• It was also predicted in the

  Hebrew Bible that the Messiah would:

  • Be Born in Bethlehem
  • Be borne by a virgin
  • Ride into Jerusalem on a donkey
  • Be rejected by his own people
  • Be killed for the sins of humans.
• Peter claimed Jesus to be the Messiah 'You are the Messiah, son of the living God'
• saviour - Jesus is considered to be the Saviour as he came to Earth to save humankind

  from sin and mend their broken relationship with God.
• saviour - many believe jesus was born for this end result “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give

  him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
• Christians believe that through Christ’s death on the cross, Christians are saved

  from eternal damnation and are given the hope of salvation. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that

  whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
• atonement - the relationship between god and humans was destroyed when adam and eve went against God's wishes and ate the apple. This is known as the fall
• atonement - In the Old Testament, however, there are

  lots of examples of animals, killed or sent

  out into the wilderness to make up for the sins of human beings. Jesus is often

  referred to as the ‘Lamb of God’. a lamb would

  traditionally have been sacrificed, he died to make up for the sins of humanity.
• the word - Jesus is reffered to as the word “And the Word became

  flesh and dwelt among us.” - emphasises eternal nature of trinity
