'''Jesus Christ''' is the Savior who came in the flesh and was sacrificed on the [[cross]] 2,000 years ago for the salvation of all mankind.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2%3A5-8&version=NIV |title=Philippians 2:5–8 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> After being [[Baptism|baptized]] at the age of thirty, He started His ministry and preached the gospel of the kingdom for three years, establishing the [[New Covenant|new covenant]]. He was rejected by the Jews and the religious leaders of that time and was arrested the night he established the [[New Covenant Passover]], which contains the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. He died on the cross the next day and on the third day, He was [[Resurrection of Jesus|resurrected]] and [[Ascension of Jesus|ascended to heaven]] forty days later. Before His ascension, He entrusted His disciples with the mission to preach the [[gospel of the kingdom]] to the whole world. Jesus’ whole life was a fulfillment of the prophecies in the Bible, and was a sacrifice and love for the salvation of mankind. The precious blood of Christ that was shed on the cross opened the way for mankind to wash away their sins to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus’ [[Major Achievements of Jesus Christ|ministry]] began when He was baptized by [[John the Baptist]] at the age of thirty.<ref name="침례">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+3%3A21-23+&version=NIV |title=Luke 3:21–23 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref> John the Baptist was given the [[mission of Elijah]] to prepare the way for Christ coming in the flesh.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+40%3A3+&version=NIV |title=Isaiah 40:3 |quote= }}</ref><ref name="말라기3">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Malachi+4%3A5-6+&version=NIV |title=Malachi 4:5–6 |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+17%3A12-13+&version=NIV |title=Matthew 17:12–13 |quote= }}</ref> After Jesus was baptized, He went to the desert where He prayed and fasted for forty days.

Jesus died on the cross and was [[Resurrection of Jesus|resurrected]] on the third day. After His resurrection, He awakened His disciples to the prophecies in the Bible and taught them to preach the gospel to all people until He [[Ascension of Jesus|ascended]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+24%3A25-27&version=NIV |title=Luke 24:25–27 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+16%3A15-16&version=NIV |title=Mark 16:15–16 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>  By the Sea of Tiberias, He asked Peter to take care of the saints, saying, “Feed My sheep.”<ref name="내 양을 먹이라">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+21%3A15-17&version=NIV |title=John 21:15–17 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref> On the fortieth day after His resurrection, Jesus ascended to heaven. He told His disciples not to leave Jerusalem until they received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told them once they received the Holy Spirit, they should go to Samaria and to the ends of the earth to be His witnesses.<ref name="사마리아 땅끝까지" /> The disciples, who were discouraged by the death of Jesus, reestablished their faith through His resurrection and ascension. While boldly preaching about Jesus Christ in various places, an explosive work of the gospel took place in the early Church.

|Alpha and Omega||The Greek letters ''alpha'' and ''omega'' means first and ''last''. In the [[book of Revelation]], it is written that God Jehovah and Jesus are both the [[Alpha and the Omega]].

''[[The Last Supper]]'', a well-known painting by [https://www.britannica.com/biography/Leonardo-da-Vinci Leonardo da Vinci] (1452–1519), depicts the scene of Jesus holding the last supper with His disciples the day before His death on the cross. The biblical name of this supper is called the [[New Covenant Passover|Passover of the new covenant]]. The Bible records that Jesus eagerly desired to keep the Passover.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+22%3A15&version=NIV |title=Luke 22:15 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> The reason He eagerly desired to keep the Passover was that it was directly related to salvation.

The next day, Jesus fulfilled the covenant of the Passover when His flesh was torn and His blood was shed on the cross.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+19%3A34&version=NIV |title=John 19:34 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> Jesus opened the way to the forgiveness of sins and salvation for mankind by dying on the cross for their sins.
