Who is Jesus Christ? What did He do? Why does He love us?
Jesus is the man who split time.
There was BC (before Christ) and AD (after Christ)
Why! What! How!
Jesus was conceived by the holy spirit, born of a virgin in a lowly stable. He committed no sin during this life on earth as He was an example to us of the nature of God (HE IS GOD, Fully God and fully Man) which is love, gentleness, kindness and patience.
Jesus was completely submissive to the Father,God, even to His death on the cross as the perfect and just sacrifice for the cleansing of all man's sin. They buried Him in a guarded tomb but on the third day there, He rose from the dead and was ascended up into Heaven to be with His Father/God.
Because Jesus in this way, conquered death for us, we may now have eternal life through Him. You see, we all sin. God, being just, said sin had to be paid for, so, because of His love and grace toward us, God sent His Word, Jesus, as Himself, to do just that, pay our sin debt and pardon us. By accepting Christ we will be adopted into the family of God. When we become God's child and not just His creation, we will live forever with Him. So...What do I have to do to get all that?
Trust that what Jesus said was true. That He is the Christ, the promised Messiah, the son of the living God and Yes...even God in the Flesh! There's no payment for a free gift! Just Jesus + Nothing...
HE IS RISEN INDEED!
The message of Easter is simple:
Jesus died for all our sins (yours and mine ALL... past, present and future sins) He was crucified, died and buried But then...on the third day...He rose from the dead!!
He then ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father (The God of the Bible) and will come again to rule and reign and ultimately judge both the living and the dead. His kingdom shall have NO end!
So the message of Easter, the essence of Christianity & the reason for God's Promise of Eternal Life for the followers of Jesus Christ is so simple...
We have an empty tomb!
Tell me more about how I can believe too...
What do I have to do?

MMatthew 1:23—"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
CColossians 1:15-16—"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible...."*
*When the Apostle Paul says that Christ is the firstborn over all creation, he does not mean that Christ is the first created being. For he goes on to explain that Jesus Christ created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. Jesus Christ could not create Himself. The idea among various cults that Christ is the first created being is an impossible absurdity.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
