Jesus

The most important person who ever lived.

Two thousand years later, more people follow Jesus than anyone else in history. Not because of a religion, but because of him. Here's who he is, and what it means to follow him.

The short version

God, in a person you can know.

God, with us

Jesus is God, who stepped into our world: born as a baby, raised in an ordinary town, fully human and fully God. He got tired, he wept, he laughed around dinner tables. He knows what your life feels like from the inside.

He died in your place

Jesus lived the life we couldn't, then died the death we deserved, taking the weight of everything we've done wrong so we could be made right with God. It's the greatest act of love the world has ever seen.

He's alive

Three days after he was buried, Jesus walked out of the grave, and hundreds of people saw him. Death didn't hold him. Because he's alive, following him isn't remembering a good man. It's knowing a living one.

Made a decision to follow Jesus?

Today can be the day.

Following Jesus doesn't start with having it all figured out. It starts with a simple yes: turning toward him and trusting that what he did, he did for you. If you're ready, you can pray something like this, in your own words:

Jesus, thank you for loving me. I know I've fallen short and I'm sorry for going my own way. Today I choose to follow you. I believe you died for me and rose again. Forgive me, come into my life, and make me new. Amen.

If you prayed that, or something like it, for the first time, it's the best decision you'll ever make. And you're not meant to walk it out alone.

Keep going

You're not meant to walk it alone.

Whatever today held, this is a beginning, and beginnings grow. Here are three simple ways to take the next step with us.

Wherever you're up to, there's a next step.
