Module 4 presents Jesus Christ as the central figure of Christianity by moving from His historical setting to the major Christian beliefs about His identity and mission. It begins by explaining that Jesus was a first-century Jewish man living under Roman rule, deeply rooted in the world of Israel, Jewish Scripture, temple life, and messianic hope. The module then shows how Jesus preached the kingdom of God, called people to repentance, challenged hypocrisy, and became both a hope-filled and controversial figure because He redefined what many expected the Messiah to be.
The module also explains the major Christian doctrines about Jesus: the Incarnation, the cross, the resurrection and ascension, and the return of Christ. It presents Jesus not only as Messiah, but as the one in whom Christians believe God became man, who suffered and died for sin, was raised and exalted by God, and will one day return to judge evil and restore creation. Overall, the module presents Jesus as both a real historical person and the center of Christian hope, salvation, and divine revelation.
