Introduction:
Socrates famously once said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” And it’s certainly true
that life is more interesting when we take the time to stop and ponder interesting ideas and
questions. Questions like, “How do I’m in the right career? or “What is it that causes me to
continuously give in to the temptation to do something I know is bad for me?”
Going through life with an inquisitive mind is not only more interesting, it’s also biblical.
Proverbs 18:15 says, “An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise
seeks knowledge.”
It turns out that God created us to be inquisitive, to seek knowledge, to pursue the truth.
In this report, we will try to discover and understand, the best way possible, and answer the
question, "WHO IS JESUS?"
Jesus, also called Jesus Christ, Jesus of Galilee, or Jesus of Nazareth, (born c. 6–4 BCE,
Bethlehem—died c. 30 CE, Jerusalem), religious leader revered in Christianity, one of the
world’s major religions. He is regarded by most Christians as the Incarnation of God.
Ancient Jews usually had only one name, and, when greater specificity was needed, it was
customary to add the father’s name or the place of origin. Thus, in his lifetime Jesus was called
Jesus son of Joseph (Luke 4:22; John 1:45, 6:42), Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 10:38), or Jesus the
Nazarene (Mark 1:24; Luke 24:19). After his death he came to be called Jesus Christ. Christ
was not originally a name but a title derived from the Greek word christos, which
translates the Hebrew term meshiah (Messiah), meaning “the anointed one.” This title
indicates that Jesus’ followers believed him to be the anointed son of King David, whom some
Jews expected to restore the fortunes of Israel.

Himself to them as to no one else
For the metaphysical basis for the idea of the rights of man is the idea of man as created
in the image of God.
“You must be holy because I the Lord your God am holy.”
God has no dark side. And that is why we shouldn’t have a dark side either.
Only love could motivate such madness. Christ’s outstretched arms on the Cross are
God’s answer to our childlike question: “How much do you love me?” “This much!”
How big is that stretch? It is the distance between Heaven and earth that was bridged
by the Incarnation, and it was the distance between Heaven and Hell that was bridged
by our salvation.
Christ is the ultimate revelation of God, or ultimate reality, of the deepest secret of
metaphysics
