Reading Matthew Chapter 1 really made me think about who Jesus is and what He means to me. I believe Jesus is the Son of God, born through the Holy Spirit just like Matthew described. He wasn’t just a good man, He was perfect, sinless, and sent by God to save us. Knowing that He didn’t inherit sin like the rest of us makes me realize how special His birth truly was. Jesus came to take the punishment that I deserve, and that shows how much God loves us.
To me, Jesus means forgiveness, peace, and hope. Because of Him, I don’t have to carry the weight of my sins or fear death. He gave His life so that I could have eternal life. When I think about what I will do with Jesus, I know I want to follow Him and grow in my faith every day.
Since accepting Jesus as my Savior, I try to live in a way that honors Him, reading His Word, praying, and using my gifts to help others. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I want to keep growing closer to Him. Jesus has truly changed my life forever.
