According to the available source documents, Jesus is described as:
- The Son of God, whose heart was broken by unrequited love for humanity. He is the one prophesied throughout the Old Testament: the seed of the woman (Adam), Melchisedek (Abraham), Shiloh of Judah (Jacob), Immanuel and the Prince of Peace (Isaiah), the Branch of David (Jeremiah), the Messiah (Daniel), the Lord God of Hosts (Hosea), and the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John the Baptist). Even the powers of darkness acknowledge Him as the Holy One of God. (2SP 395.2; DA 579.5; SJ 87.9, annotation_text)
- Jesus was born in Bethlehem, lived as a man, experienced human weariness, hunger, and sorrow, and was ultimately crucified. He ascended to heaven in human form and now serves as our Advocate and Judge, having experienced human infirmities and temptations. (3SP 256.2, annotation_text)
- Jesus is the revelation of God to humanity. As God could not personally communicate with sinful men, He sent Jesus as a revelation of Himself. Jesus declared, “I and My Father are one.” He is the revealer of both God and the hearts of men, and all judgment has been committed to Him because He is the Son of man. (9MR 122.3, annotation_text)
- Jesus is a risen Saviour and our Advocate in the heavenly courts. He is the Maker of the human mind and the one who, through His sacrifice and the agency of the Holy Spirit, brings about redemption and sanctification for those who accept Him. (18MR 208.1, annotation_text)
- Christ is the Son of God and the representative of both the Father and the human race. By taking humanity and combining it with divinity, He was able to meet every demand of the law of God and overcome the objections of Satan, providing salvation for humanity. (14MR 83.2, annotation_text)
In summary, Jesus is presented as the divine Son of God, the Messiah, the Redeemer, the revelation of God to humanity, our Advocate, Judge, and Saviour, who took on humanity to provide salvation and reveal God's character to the world.
