Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
He ascended into heaven,
Is seated at the right hand of the Father,
And will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy catholic church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
Question: What do we believe about Jesus?
Matthew 16:13-16
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people
say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of
the prophets.”
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
‘Who do I say the Son of Man/Jesus is?’
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
Jesus = The Christ / The Messiah / The Anointed One
“The Bible with and without Jesus” by; Amy-Jill Levine, Marc Zvi Brettler
Matthew 1:23 (Isaiah 7:14)
23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which
means “God with us”).
Matthew 1:21 = Jesus (Greek form of Joseph) “The One who saves.”
“Sin” “To miss the mark” or “stray from the path we are meant to be on”
John 1:14
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of
the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Matthew 8:23…
23 Then [Jesus] got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Suddenly a furious storm came
up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples
went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds
and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves
obey him!”
[Jesus Christ] was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
1 Corinthians 15:20
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
John 8:12
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows
me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
