The Scriptures reach the climactic moment in redemptive history when God brings about his rescue of human souls in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Jesus, the Son of God, takes on human flesh, dwells amongst us, lives the life we should have lived, dies the death that we deserve, and rises victorious over sin and death. He then sends his people to the ends of the earth declaring the good news that through Christ mankind can be restored to relationship with their Maker.
This course will help you see the glorious, miraculous, and historical rescue story in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
