LESSON 4
Who Be Jesus Christ?
1. Which place Jesus dey before e come this earth?
Before they born Jesus for this earth, e don first stay for heaven as angel. (John 8:23) God first make Jesus, then Jesus work with God to make all other things. Jesus na the only person wey Jehovah use e own hand make. (John 1:14) Na Jesus de tell people wetin Jehovah talk, na e make them de call Jesus “the Word.”—Read Proverbs 8:22, 23, 30; Colossians 1:15, 16.
2. Why Jesus come this earth?
God send Jesus from heaven to this earth. God transfer e life, come put-am inside one woman belle. The woman na Jew. E name na Mary and e never sleep with any man before. This one mean say no be any papa for this earth born Jesus. (Luke 1:30-35) Why Jesus come this earth? (1) E come teach people truth about God, (2) e come show how we fit de do wetin God want even when we de face problem, and (3) e come die because of our sin.—Read Matthew 20:28.
3. Why we need person to free us from sin?
When they sell person as slave, e no go fit free e self until another person come pay e master so that e go free. When Adam sin, e sell all e pikin like slave. All of us get sin and we de die. The time wey God make Adam, e no get any sin, so Adam no suppose to die. God no make people make them de die. We sabi that one because God tell Adam say if e sin, e go die. So if Adam hear wetin God talk, e for still dey alive. (Genesis 2:16, 17; 5:5) Bible talk say we de die because Adam sin. That sin dey inside our blood because na Adam be our papa.—Read Romans 5:12; 6:23.
Now, na which person fit pay so that we go free from sin and we no go de die? When person die, e don pay only for e own sin. Na only person wey e no get sin fit free us from sin.—Read Psalm 49:7-9.

(Matthew 15:30, 31; John 5:28) After Jesus die, God bring-am back to life as strong angel. (1 Peter 3:18) After that one, Jesus still wait until Jehovah come give-am power to rule this earth. (Hebrews 10:12, 13) Now Jesus dey for heaven, and e de rule as King. Christians for this our time de preach that good news for the whole world.—Read Daniel 7:13, 14; Matthew 24:14.
