June | Who Is Jesus? From Ancient Prophecies to the Gospels

365-Day Bible Reading Plan for Seekers

365 Days to Explore God, Faith, and Life

🌱 Welcome to June | Why Are People Still Talking About Jesus 2,000 Years Later?

Throughout history, many remarkable people have left their mark on the world.

Some gave us ideas that changed how we think. Others shaped the future of nations. Still others lived in ways that inspired generations after them.

Yet one name continues to stand out, even after nearly two thousand years.

Some people see Him as a great teacher. Others admire His compassion and wisdom. Christians believe He is the Savior promised by God.

His name is Jesus.

Who was Jesus, really? Why did He come into the world? And what makes Him different from other great religious teachers?

In May, we explored several Old Testament prophecies about a coming Savior.

The prophets spoke of a righteous King who would bring peace, a servant who would become a light for the nations, and someone who would carry the sins of others like a sacrificial lamb.

These promises pointed toward a Savior unlike anyone who had come before.

Now, the story enters a new chapter.

The New Testament introduces us to Jesus. He was born into an ordinary family, grew up in the real world, spoke with everyday people, cared for the sick, welcomed those whom society overlooked, and taught people about God's kingdom.

But the Gospels also record extraordinary words and actions.

Jesus forgave sins, commanded storms to be still, and even declared Himself Lord of the Sabbath.

If Jesus was more than a good teacher, who was He?

This month, we'll begin exploring that question by looking closely at what the Gospels tell us about His life, identity, and mission.

🔎 What Will We Explore This Month?

Why was the Old Testament waiting for a Savior?

From the promised King and the suffering servant to the mysterious "Son of Man" whose kingdom would last forever, who were these prophecies pointing toward?

Why is Jesus called the Son of God?

Why does John's Gospel begin with "In the beginning was the Word"? What does it mean that "the Word became flesh"? Why is Jesus' identity so important to Christianity?

What did Jesus come into the world to do?

Why did the angel say He would save His people from their sins? Why did John the Baptist call Him "the Lamb of God"?

Did Jesus really have extraordinary authority?

Jesus taught crowds, healed the sick, forgave sins, and calmed a storm. Why did His words and actions leave people asking, "Who is this?"

📖 Just a Few Minutes Each Day

If you've never read the New Testament before, June is a wonderful place to begin.

We'll start with Jesus' birth and identity, then explore His words, actions, and encounters with different people.

The daily passages are short, and you don't need to understand Christian theology before you begin.

Each day's reading includes:

• A question from everyday life — a relatable way to begin exploring the topic.

• A short Bible introduction — helpful background about the people, places, and events in the Gospels.

• Today's Bible reading — a carefully selected Scripture passage.

• A verse to remember — one meaningful thought to carry with you.

• Personal reflection — exploring how Jesus' words and actions connect with everyday life.

• A question and small action step — something to think about or try.

• A worship song and closing prayer — optional ways to reflect further.

You can begin with curiosity, uncertainty, or plenty of questions.

You don't need to decide what you believe right away. Start by discovering what the Gospels actually say about Jesus.

💭 Three Things to Remember as You Read

It's okay to ask questions. Why is Jesus called the Son of God? Is He really God? How should we understand the miracles recorded in the Gospels? These are important questions worth exploring carefully.

It's okay to take your time. June introduces ideas such as "the Word became flesh," "Messiah," "the Lamb of God," and "the Son of Man." You don't need to understand all of them immediately. We'll continue exploring what they mean as we read.

It's okay to have doubts. When you encounter stories about miracles, forgiveness of sins, or Jesus' claims about Himself, you may feel surprised or skeptical. That's okay. Begin by observing what the passages say, what Jesus did, and how people responded to Him

🌿 June's Journey | Getting to Know Jesus Is a New Beginning

Over the past few months, we've explored the Bible's account of creation, the reality of human sin, and the unfolding of God's plan of redemption.

We've read about God's promises to Abraham, the rescue from Egypt, the Passover lamb, and the meaning of God's law, sacrifices, and atonement.

We've also seen that even with wise kings, God's commandments, and faithful prophets, humanity still needed something more.

Again and again, the Old Testament prophets pointed toward a coming Savior.

And in June, we finally began exploring the life of Jesus.

According to John's Gospel, His story did not begin in the manger at Bethlehem. His identity reaches back to the very beginning, revealing a unique relationship with the God who created all things.

He entered the human world not simply to observe suffering from a distance, but to draw near to people who were sick, struggling, rejected, or overlooked.

He did more than teach people how to live. He also claimed the authority to forgive sins.

When He commanded a storm to be still, His disciples asked a remarkable question:

"Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!" (Mark 4:41)

That is also the question June leaves us with.

If Jesus truly had this kind of authority, who was He? And what might His life mean for ours?

In July, we'll continue exploring Jesus' life and teachings. We'll discover how He treated people, what He taught about the kingdom of God, and why His words continue to challenge and inspire people today.

Wherever you are in your understanding of Jesus, you can keep exploring.

Getting to know Jesus is more than learning about someone who lived two thousand years ago. It's an invitation to consider who He really is—and why He came into the world.
