Assyrian Church of the East - Jesus Christ

During the time of our Lords ministry on earth, He fulfilled many obligations, which were the purpose of His coming.

Occasionally, we witness words spoken, claims made and deeds performed by Jesus Christ, which makes us ask - What and Who is this Man? What is his purpose and Where has he come from?

The easiest way of understanding the Lord is to plant in our minds that He, Glory to His Holy Name, was by nature and person, a Perfect Man and Perfect God, while on earth.
Let us examine, from the Bible, the life of Jesus on earth, and witness the significance of His Humanity and Divinity. By doing so we can enhance our understanding of the fullness of His Glory, which is owing to Him.
