Jesus was Master, Rabbi, Teacher. He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He was the Doorway to the sheepfold, the Light of the world, the Prince of Peace, and more. We also believe Jesus is: Son of God-We believe in Jesus as God's special child. We call this the Incarnation, meaning that God was in the world in the actual person of Jesus of Nazareth. Son of man-We believe that Jesus was fully human. He was tempted. He grew weary. He wept. He expressed his anger. In fact, Jesus is God's picture of what it means to be a mature human being. Christ-We say "Jesus Christ" easily, almost as if "Christ" were Jesus' last name. Yet this name is another way of expressing who we believe Jesus to be. Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word Messiah, which means God's Anointed One. Thus, in calling him our Christ today, we affirm that he was and is the fulfillment of the ancient hope and God's Chosen One to bring salvation to all peoples, for all time. Lord- We also proclaim Jesus as our Lord, the one to whom we give our devoted allegiance. The word Lord had a more powerful meaning for people of medieval times, because they actually lived under the authority of lords and monarchs. Today some of us may find it difficult to acknowledge Jesus as Lord of our lives. We're used to being independent and self-sufficient. We have not bowed down to authority. To claim Jesus as Lord is to freely submit our will to his, to humbly profess that it is he who is in charge of this world. Savior- Perhaps best of all, we believe in Jesus as Savior, as the one through whom God has freed us of our sin and has given us the gift of whole life, eternal life, and salvation. We believe that in ways we cannot fully explain, God has done this through the mystery of Jesus' self-giving sacrifice on the cross and his victory over sin and death in the Resurrection. https://www.maizeumc.com/what-we-believe daily 0.75 2022-07-25 https://www.maizeumc.com/children-youth daily 0.75 2024-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4538708a12aa0b3037ecc9/1601657036985-6J2OBNQTERJPGGMKT2DE/facebook_1601654592762_6717826265041587926.jpg Children & Youth - Student Ministry Children matter to Maize UMC!
