This project examines key facets of Jesus Christ's identity and work in the New Testament, exploring his roles as the Son of Man, Son of God, Final Prophet, Atoning Priest, and Messianic King. In the section on the Son of Man, his humanity, universal authority, and practical implications are discussed. The Son of God dimension highlights Jesus as the True and Better Son of God, drawing parallels to figures like Adam, Israel, and David. The Final Prophet aspect underscores Jesus as the supreme revealer of God's character and will. The Atoning Priest section focuses on Jesus' role in atoning for sins, rooted in Old Testament imagery. Finally, the Messianic King element emphasizes his fulfillment of Davidic prophecies and his supreme authority.
