4: Why Is Jesus the Center of Everything?
Who is Jesus, really? Was He just a great teacher, a prophet, or something more?
In this episode of Armchair Theologian, we explore the central figure of the Christian faith and why everything in Christianity rises or falls on who Jesus is. We’ll discuss what it means that Jesus is fully God and fully man, why His perfect life, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection are essential to the gospel, and why the cross is the defining moment of God’s plan of salvation. We’ll also tackle one of Christianity’s most exclusive claims: that Jesus is the only way to salvation.
Whether you’re new to the faith or have followed Christ for years, this episode will help you better understand why Jesus isn’t just an important part of Christianity, He is its very foundation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
* Why Jesus had to be both fully God and fully man
* The significance of His life, death, and resurrection
* What the cross accomplished for sinners
* Why salvation is found in Christ alone
