Jesus - Answers in Genesis

Jesus
Jesus Christ is God incarnate, the second person of the Trinity, our creator, the
resurrected savior and redeemer, and the only means of salvation for sinners.
Jesus: Overview
Jesus of Nazareth was a Jewish carpenter and teacher in the first century A.D. Jesus is the Christ or
Messiah (Anointed One) of Israel. He was born as God in the flesh, lived among men, and taught a
“new covenant” in the Jewish tradition. He was crucified by Roman authorities around A.D 30.
After he died, Jesus was buried and rose on the third day to prove his power over death. His life,
ministry, miracles, death, and resurrection point to his mission: Jesus Christ is both God and the
Savior of the world.

Did Jesus Really Exist?

[http://answersingenesis.org/jesus/incarnation/jesus-did-not-
https://answersingenesis.org/jesus/ 1/27
exist/]
Yes, Jesus existed. Jesus of Nazareth was a Jewish man born at the end of the first century B.C. He
lived and taught in ancient Palestine, a Roman province, in the first century A.D.
Jesus’ life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension are attested in the biblical documents in the
first four books of the New Testament known as the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Other
extra-biblical documents also point to Jesus’ actual life and early followers.
Genealogy & Birth of Jesus
Jesus was miraculously conceived without sexual union when the Holy Spirit overshadowed his
mother, Mary (Luke 1:35). He was then born in the line of some of the most well-known people in
the Old Testament—including several women.
There are two separate genealogies recorded in the Gospels. In Matthew’s Gospel (Matthew 1:1–
17), the lineage starts at Abraham and goes through King David to Jesus’ birth, likely traced
through Mary. In Luke’s gospel (Luke 3:23–38), Jesus’ genealogy traces backward to Adam through
his earthly adoptive father’s lineage. In both genealogies, we can see how Jesus was rightfully
called the Son of David, according to Jewish messianic prophesies (Jeremiah 23:5–6).
Jesus’ Life & Ministry [http://answersingenesis.org/jesus/the-real-

jesus/]
Jesus grew up in Nazareth, a small town in the region of Galilee at the edge of the eastern
Mediterranean Sea. He was raised as an observant Jew, had brothers and sisters, and was trained
to work as a carpenter (Mark 6:3).
Around the age of 30, he was baptized by the prophet John the Baptist and began ministering as
an itinerant rabbi, a Jewish teacher (Mark 1:9–15). He called disciples to himself and taught the
crowds who gathered around him. His followers eventually proclaimed him to be the Christ, or
“anointed one” (Matthew 16:16). “Christ” (Messiah: Hebrew) was a royal and divine title in Jewish
theology.
Jesus’ Teaching & Miracles

[http://answersingenesis.org/apologetics/supernatural-or-
science-how-do-we-explain-miracles/]
Jesus taught on many subjects including love, the kingdom of God, repentance, non-hypocritical
faith, forgiveness, discipleship, prayer, marriage, divorce, eternal judgment, and eternal life for
those who believed. His favorite method of teaching was through “parables,” which are short
stories designed to impart a spiritual lesson.
Another critical aspect of Jesus’ ministry was miracles. The purpose of his miracles was to show
that he has power over disease, ailment, nature, and death. Throughout his ministry, Jesus
performed the following miracles among others:
Turned water into wine (John 2:1–11)
Healed a paralytic (Mark 2:1–12)
Healed a withered hand (Mark 3:1–3)
Calmed a storm (Mark 4:35–41)
Healed a servant from afar (Luke 7:1–10)
Revived a dead man (Luke 7:11–17)
Healed a man with leprosy (Matthew 8:2–4)
Healed a bleeding woman (Luke 8:43–48)
Healed a man born blind (John 9:1–12)
Fed the multitude (Matthew 14:13–21)
Walked on water (Matthew 14:22–33)
Cast out demons (Matthew 17:14–21)
Healed a man with a severed ear (Luke 22:50–51)
Resurrected himself (Mark 16:1–7)
Sermon on the Mount
Jesus’ most-famous sermon was the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7). In this collection of
sayings, Jesus laid out some of his best-known teachings, including the Lord’s Prayer. It is Jesus’
longest continuous teaching discourse found in the New Testament.

The sermon promised blessings on those who display certain characteristics (e.g., poor in spirit,
merciful) (Matthew 5:3–12). It included Jesus’ mission to fulfill the Old Testament law (Matthew
5:17–20). He taught on hatred and murder (Matthew 5:21–26), lust, adultery, divorce (Matthew
5:27–32), giving (Matthew 6:1–3), prayer and fasting (Matthew 6:4–18), and more. The sermon
concluded with a parable encouraging his hearers to follow him and warning those who would
ignore his teaching (Matthew 6:24–28).
Biblical Sources for Jesus [http://answersingenesis.org/jesus-

christ/resurrection/biblical-and-extra-biblical-evidences/]
The primary source material for Jesus’ life is the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
These biographies each provide a different perspective on the life and ministry of Jesus. The first
three Gospels, known as the Synoptics, are arranged in a somewhat-chronological order. The
Gospel of John is arranged more topically with a heavy interest in theological themes.
In addition, every other New Testament manuscript (except the epistle of 3 John) mentions Jesus
by name. These documents often explore the teaching of the apostles and the early church.
However, there are some mentions of events in Jesus’ life, especially his death, burial, and
resurrection (e.g., 1 Corinthians 15:1–11).
Extra-biblical Sources for Jesus

[http://answersingenesis.org/jesus/incarnation/jesus-did-not-
exist/]
There are multiple extra-biblical sources that mention Jesus. These ancient documents further
bolster the historicity of the biblical sources:
Josephus (A.D. 37–101)
Thallus (A.D. 52)
Tacitus (A.D. 56–120)
Mara-Serapion (A.D. 70)
Phlegon (A.D. 80–140)
Pliny the Younger (A.D. 61–113)
Suetonius (A.D. 69–140)
Lucian of Samosata (A.D. 115–200)
Celsus (A.D. 175)
Jewish Talmud (A.D. 400–700)
The Toledat Yeshu (A.D. 1000)
The “Lost” Years of Jesus
The so-called “lost” years of Jesus occurred from the time 12-year-old Jesus met the religious
leaders (Luke 2:42–52) to when the 30-year-old Jesus began his earthly ministry (Luke 3:23). The
Bible makes no mention of what Jesus did during those years.
Many have tried to fill this narrative gap. Some have suggested he traveled to Britain (twelfth
century A.D.). More have suggested he went to India (1869), and others have suggested he visited
Tibet, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and Egypt (1908). All the stories that place Jesus outside the ancient
near-East arose at least 1,000 years after his resurrection. According to all early biblical and extra-
biblical sources, the man Jesus lived only in first-century Roman Palestine.
Was Jesus Married? [http://answersingenesis.org/jesus/was-

jesus-married/]
No, Jesus was not married while on earth. The Bible does not give us any reason to think he was
married, and there are numerous reasons to conclude that he was not married based on the Bible
and early Christian writings.
Jesus commended his mother to the Apostle John’s care—no wife is mentioned (John 19:25–
27).
Paul makes no mention of Jesus’ marriage when discussing Peter’s marriage (1 Corinthians 9:5).
The church is called “the bride of Christ,” unlike any other woman (Ephesians 5:23–32).
An early bishop Clement of Alexandria affirmed Jesus’ singleness (The Stromata, III.6.49).
Another early Christian teacher Tertullian called Jesus “unmarried” (On Monogamy, 5).
Jesus’ Death: Did He Really Die?

[http://answersingenesis.org/jesus/crucifixion/why-did-jesus-
have-to-die/]
At the end of Jesus’ earthly teaching ministry, Jesus died. Jesus’ death is described in all four
Gospels, multiple New Testament epistles, and other ancient sources. He was crucified on a cross,
a punishment reserved for the worst of criminals in Roman jurisprudence. The Romans were very
efficient at killing people.
Some critics have suggested that Jesus merely “swooned” on the cross and did not actually die.
They propose that Jesus fainted and later “revived” in the tomb after he was taken down from the
cross. This hypothesis has no basis in the primary source documents. No man ever survived first-
century whipping with iron balls and bone pieces (scourging), followed by Roman crucifixion.
Did the Disciples Just Hide His Body?

[http://answersingenesis.org/jesus-christ/resurrection/the-body-
was-moved/]
Another critical theory is that Jesus’ disciples hid his body after he died. These critics propose that
the disciples took Jesus’ body after the crucifixion and faked his resurrection. This was the story
the Jewish leaders fabricated that allowed the soldiers who guarded the tomb not to get punished
for losing Jesus’ body (Matthew 28:11–15).
There are multiple problems with this hypothesis. For one, nobody steals bodies from Roman
saldiers. According to the extra-biblical first century A.D. Nazareth Inscription, grave robbers were
punished by death. Additionally, the Apostles would have been the likely culprits in the scheme.
And most of the apostles died for believing in a resurrected Jesus. Few people die for their faith,
but nobody dies for what they know is a lie. And finally, this theory does not account for the
resurrection appearances to over 500 witnesses (1 Corinthians 15:6). The disciples did not hide
Jesus’ body.
Jesus’ Resurrection
[http://answersingenesis.org/jesus/resurrection/christs-
resurrection-four-accounts-one-reality/]
On the third day after being placed in the tomb, Jesus rose from the dead (Luke 24:6–7).
In all four Gospels, we read about the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. After a cruel execution,
Jesus was resurrected with a new, glorified body. His new body was unlike his previous body in
that he could appear in the midst of his disciples (John 20:19, 20:26). But it was similar to his
previous body in that he could still eat fish (Luke 24:42–43). The important fact is that God the
Father raised Jesus from the dead and “loosed the pangs of death” for all believers (Acts 2:24).
Liar, Lunatic, or Lord?
In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis proposes a trilemma related to the nature of Jesus. Lewis invited
people to make a decision about Jesus—and there are only three reasonable choices. Either he
was a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord he claimed to be. According to Lewis,
I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about
Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.”
That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things
Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the
man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
You must make your choice.
Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut
him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call
Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great
human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
Is Jesus God? [http://answersingenesis.org/jesus/jesus-is-god/]
Yes, Jesus is God the Son. Jesus must be viewed as God by virtue of the fact that he has the names,
attributes, and the authority of God; he does the works of God; and he is worshiped as God (John
20:28). God exists as a Trinity—one God in three persons, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and
God the Holy Spirit.
On multiple occasions, Jesus’ divinity is also taught directly in Scripture. The prophet Isaiah
affirmed the divinity of the Messiah 700+ years before he was born (Isaiah 9:6). The author of
Hebrews taught Jesus’ divinity (Hebrews 1:8), and Paul acknowledged Jesus’ divinity as well
(Titus 2:13). However, the most dramatic affirmation of Jesus’ divinity is from John 1:1 in which
John proclaimed that Jesus was God at the beginning of creation: “In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Conclusion: The Good News of Jesus
In conclusion, Jesus Christ, though totally sinless, suffered death and God the Father’s just wrath
against sinners on behalf of mankind for their sin. He died to satisfy the righteous demands of the
holiness and justice of God, his Father.
Jesus was the perfect sacrifice. He died on a cross, but on the third day, he rose again, conquering
death, so that all who truly believe in him, repent of their sin, and trust in him (rather than their
own merit) are able to come back to God and live for eternity with their Creator.
Therefore, “He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned
already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God” (John 3:18).
