Jesus Christ: Portrait Of A Savior
As Christians we have made a decision to follow Jesus. So we've put together a collection of scriptures that paint a picture of who Jesus is. We will use nothing but the Bible and hear from Jesus friends as well as His foes. Our goal is to help you obtain a greater understanding of who Jesus is by reading these (and other) verses. There are plenty of verses that weren't include because of space so I encourage you to use the ones we've included as a sort of "starting point" in your effort to know Jesus better.
