## Resource

Pastor Hans continued going deeper into last week’s Foundations of Belief message by focusing on the question, “Why Jesus?” He explored Jesus’ own claims to deity, emphasizing that Christ is the great “I AM” who existed before Abraham and is fully God in the flesh. Through the seven “I AM” statements in the Gospel of John, Pastor Hans showed how Jesus reveals Himself as the source of life, truth, salvation, guidance, and hope. He then explained five reasons God became man: to reveal God’s nature to the world, to demonstrate perfect obedience to the Father, to provide a sinless example of holiness, to make salvation possible through His sacrificial death, and to establish the pattern and promise of the future resurrection. Ultimately, the message reinforced that Jesus is not merely a teacher or prophet, but God incarnate, sent to reconcile humanity to Himself and offer eternal life to all who believe. Ultimately, the message affirmed that a firm foundation of faith begins with recognizing Jesus as the Son of God who came to reveal the Father, conquer sin and death, restore our relationship with God, and provide the only source of salvation, Jesus.
