Who's Jesus?

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. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

— John 3:16-17

If what the Bible says about Jesus is true, then it will have major implications for our past, present, and future. We believe that if there is one question in your life that you ask, and earnestly seek to find the answers to, it should be “who is Jesus?”.

Jesus was sent to earth with a mission: to reveal God, demonstrate his sovereignty, and to right all wrongs. Jesus was crucified after a public ministry of preaching the Word and performing miracles. After being buried, he was resurrected and triumphed over sin, Satan and death. 

In his life, death, and resurrection, salvation for all those who believe is made possible. All humans have rebelled against God and deserve death, but Jesus’ death paid the price so that we would be freed from guilt, sin, and shame.

If we trust in Him, we will be made right, experience new life, everlasting joy, the Holy Spirit, a new family, a living hope and an inheritance that won’t perish, and total reconciliation with God.

Believers are entrusted with this good news to spread it across the world, until Jesus’ return. On that day, the Bible tells us that every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that he is the Lord. Until then, he wants us to live in his way and express his glory and our faith in him through every thought, word, and deed.

The Life Course

What is the meaning of life?

It's a question notoriously difficult to answer. And yet for thousands of years, people have been finding the answer in the teaching and life of Jesus Christ.

The Life Course is a free 4-week course that seeks to boil Christianity down to the basics and show how Jesus makes sense of life. It's a relaxed environment with some time to hang out and chat, a short talk, discussion time and a Q&A session.

Week 1: Who is Jesus?
Week 2: What did Jesus do?
Week 3: Am I good enough?
Week 4: What is a Christian?

Next course begins 16th May
7.30 pm Thursdays
Room 140, Ernest Rutherford Building
University of Canterbury
Dinner provided
