Seven Essential Facts
You Should Know About Jesus

These seven facts about Jesus are not true of any other man who has ever lived.

1. Jesus Came From Heaven to Earth

How is Jesus identified?

“And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
—Isaiah 9:6.

Though Jesus was born of a human mother (Matthew 1:22, 23), He is God—God in human flesh. How long did Jesus claim to have existed?

“Before Abraham was born, I am!”
—John 8:58.

Jesus notified the world: "I am" the self-existing One, I have always existed and always will.

Dwight L. Moody, the Billy Graham of the 19th century, once said of the incarnation of Jesus, "It would have been a great sacrifice for Jesus to come and be rocked in a silver cradle, be nursed by an angel, and be fed with a golden spoon. But the Creator of heaven and earth came and took man's flesh, and was born in a stable of poor parents in the worst possible environment."

Why did Jesus come to our world?

An angel told Joseph at the time of Jesus' birth:

“She [Mary] will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.”
—Matthew 1:21.
