EduServe Chapel On-The-Web is dedicated to The Eternal Father, Almighty GOD, Creator of the Earth and Heavens², through the Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.³ Jesus, born a Nazarene in Bethlehem of Judea, the City of King David, according to scripture is the only begotten Son of GOD incarnate. At the height of His brief earthly ministry, Jesus Christ revealed to His disciples that the light of Almighty GOD resides within. He instructed His disciples to keep pure and holy the inward temple of the indwelling Holy Spirit.⁴ He revealed that they are to be holy as God is holy,⁵ a "holy priesthood," "a royal priesthood," and "a holy nation."⁶

A most celebrated person in the history of the world, Jesus Christ is well known for His influence on persons and nations. He is noted for his influence on religions, morals, ethics, laws, governments, education, scholarship, societies, creative arts, economies, healing, sciences, architecture, and more. He is well known for His interpretation of the “royal law,” which is to “love thy neighbor as thyself,” as He interpreted “neighbor” as all neighbors, even enemies.⁷ Jesus Christ is noted for his precept, “Be ye therefore perfect as thy Father in heaven is perfect.”⁸

Jesus Christ ministered mercifully with truth and authority.⁹ He taught and blessed countless persons.¹⁰ He fed and raised up multitudes.¹¹ He healed the afflicted.¹² He uplifted the downtrodden.¹³ He freed captives of darkness, disease, sin, and death.¹⁴ He performed extraordinary miracles that demonstrated God's power with respect to nature.¹⁵ He bestowed excellent charity and love, holy faith and friendship, eternal life and good. He is today revered by persons of many faiths, as His words, works, and person are transcendent, eternal, sacred, universal, and profound. His life and teachings are set forth in The Holy Bible. Jesus was raised within a Hebrew community. Jesus Christ, only begotten Son of God incarnate¹⁶ from His immaculate conception through the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, was born during 5-4 B.C. to Mary and her husband Joseph, who being enlightened before marriage with respect to the miracle "knew" not Mary until after the birth of Jesus.¹⁷ The life and ministry of Jesus were supported by the Hebrew scriptures and laws,¹⁸ which Jesus learned as a child and youth. There are references in The Holy Bible to the Jewish law and to Jesus Christ being the fulfillment of the Jewish law, as He fulfilled hundreds of Jewish prophesies.¹⁹

Although Christianity at the outset was considered a new sect within Judaism, it early on emerged as a separate entity from Judaism, as Christianity became conscious of its calling to depart from the law of “an eye for an eye" and "stoning" to the Christian laws of forgiveness and love.²⁰ Although Jesus Christ had been blessed with a peaceable society, persecuting Jews plotted the crucifixion and killing of Jesus by Roman authorities. Nevertheless, Jesus Christ was pronounced innocent and just by Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who tried Him.²¹

Thereafter, however, Jesus was crucified and buried. He descended into hell, and on the third day, He arose from the dead. After 40 days, He ascended into heaven, and returned to The Almighty Father.²² Christianity continued to develop with the blessings of God and grace of the resurrected and ascended Jesus Christ, increasing throughout Hebrew and Greco-Roman societies and beyond up through the present worldwide.²³ Moreover, Christians across the millennia have extended forgiveness, friendship, love and aid to the Jews, as well as to persons of all other religious and national heritages.
While Christians, like most if not all persons, may be as yet imperfectly realized, the principles of Jesus Christ, born of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, remain perfect and inviolable. As individuals err, man is called to "forgive those who trespass against us" and to “love one another."²⁴ He cautioned individuals not to judge others, but rather to rid oneself of the plank in one's own eyes, and to let GOD be the judge.²⁵ His call of all persons to The Almighty Father reveals His perfect "way, truth, and life"²⁶ through whom to enter into the Kingdoms of Heaven and GOD.²⁷

Is there life after earthly life? Provision for tomorrow? Hope for a better day or world? Not one hair on our heads nor phenomenon of creation is left unknown to The Creator. One is not to worry about tomorrow, but rather to repent and to seek first the Kingdom of God and HIS righteousness, and all one's needs and desires shall be met.²⁸ Here is the same LORD of Abraham²⁹, Sarah³⁰, Jacob and Isaac³¹ and the same LORD of Jesus Christ³², the Virgin Mary³³, and Joseph³⁴ ministering to HIS people--the same LORD yesterday, today, and tomorrow who is faithful to HIS promises.³⁵

According to scripture, the Prophet Moses³⁶, King and Priest Melchizedek³⁷, and King, Priest, and Psalmist David³⁸ were forerunners of the promised Savior, Redeemer, Teacher, Priest, Messiah, Prophet, King, only begotten Son of God incarnate from conception³⁹ Jesus the Christ, who is according to scripture "the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person."⁴⁰ God loves you.⁴¹ God blesses you.⁴² God makes His holy light to shine upon you and gives you His peace.⁴³ Rejoice and be happy.⁴⁴ The light of The Most High God dwells within you.⁴⁵ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
