Jesus has always been God, even before the world was created. He has always existed and always will exist .
Jesus became a human 2,000 years ago when He was born to Mary. Jesus chose to have a human body when He came to earth, but He never stopped being God. Jesus proved He was God by the miracles He did. He made blind people see, lame people walk, and sick people better. He calmed a storm. Once, Jesus fed thousands of people with just two fish and five loaves of bread.
Jesus is God, and He is man at the same time. As a man, Jesus knows how we feel. He felt hunger and sadness and pain. As God, Jesus is very different from us. He never sinned (did anything wrong). Because Jesus never sinned, He didn't deserve to die. Death and separation from God is the result of sin. However, Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment that sinners deserve. He proved his victory over sin and death by becoming alive from the dead! All who turn from going their own way and trust Jesus will also be saved from sin and eternal death.
