Who is
Jesus?
Jesus is God’s son. Because sin came into the world
when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, God sent Jesus to
come to make things right again. Jesus was born (just
over 2,000 years ago), and he lived in a part of the world now called
the Holy Land. When he was about thirty years old, he began to
preach and to heal. Three or four years later he was nailed to the
cross to die. When the people who loved him went to his grave three
days later, Jesus’ body wasn’t there. He had come back to life, just as
he said he would.
where is
Jesus now?
Jesus is in heaven with his Father. But he has
not left us alone here on earth. He sent the Holy
Spirit to us—to make us strong when we feel like
giving up, to help us care about other people when we sometimes
don’t feel like it, to tell us that Jesus will always love us.

Because of Jesus we can know for sure that God welcomes us into his
loving arms—right now and when we die and go to be with him.
Does Jesus
Love me?
Jesus loves you more than you can imagine. He
loves you when you cry and when you laugh; when
you argue with your brother or when you’ve had a
bad day. He loves you so much that he died for you—but he isn’t still
dead. He is alive, and he is watching
over you every day. You can be sure
that he will never let you down.
He will still love you your whole
life long. And you will live with him
forever.
