Jesus, who is he? Does anyone truly know who Jesus is? Jesus is lived and died for mankind. Is he the Messiah, the lord, the son of God? Jesus was there to serve, and I believe that is what he did. Jesus did not lie he was honest and even if people didn’t like what he had to say he would not hid in secret. He was a servant of all. Jesus is the son of God and Man.

And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan” (Mk 1:12-13). Jesus was forcibly driven into the…

However, He chose to live in humility and do what was right and pleasing to His Father. What an incredible example of how Jesus overcame the human desire to claim power and authority and instead decided to walk humbly. Jesus’ Sufferings Perhaps nothing can be clearer of Jesus’ humanity than through His sufferings. Jesus certainly did not live a pain free life filled with nothing but joy and comfort. Nothing could be further from the truth. His humanity enables Him to relate to us in a way…
