'''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 [[The New Covenant Passover|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 [[Jesus' Resurrection|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 [[Jesus' Resurrection|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.

The [[New Covenant|new covenant]] is the truth of life that Jesus established for the salvation of mankind. The Old Testament, or the [[Old Covenant]], is a shadow; and the New Covenant is its reality. As animals were used as blood sacrifices to atone for the people’s sins in the Old Testament, Jesus, who is the reality of those sacrifices, fulfilled the regulations of the new covenant by shedding His blood on the cross for the sins of mankind in the New Testament. The Bible records the feasts of the new covenant, which Jesus taught, as the [[Sabbath]] (a weekly feast), and the [[Passover]], the [[Pentecost]], the [[Feast of Tabernacles]], etc. (the annual seven feasts in three times).<ref name="유월절 마태복음">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+26%3A19-28&version=NIV |title=Matthew 26:19–28 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref name="안식일">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+4%3A16&version=NIV |title=Luke 4:16 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref name="오순절">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+2%3A1-41&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_ubv&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Acts 2:1–41 |publisher= |quote=  }}</ref><ref name="초막절">{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+7%3A2-37&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_ubv&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=John 7:2–37 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> Among them, Jesus kept the Passover of the new covenant with His disciples the day before He died on the cross, and promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through this feast. If we realize God’s providence contained in this feast, we can understand that the new covenant is God’s love and that love is the fulfillment of the law.
