Jesus (the Christ) showed us God's Way of living a Righteous Life, denying sin and helping others. Jesus showed us the Truth of God and the Truth of this world as he confronted the religious leaders and others who had strayed from God's way. Jesus is the Life because of his sacrifice on the cross he paid the penance for all the sins of mankind, past, present and future, redeeming and reconciling humanity to God, allowing us to experience life after death with God.
The above paragraph may be a little confusing which is where reading your bible becomes important. The Bible consists of the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament consists of humanities history with God and God's dealings with the his chosen people of Israel. The New Testament details the life of Jesus, his ministry, teachings, and sacrifice for all humanity which expanded God's covanent to all peoples not just the Israelites.
We recommend reading the New Testament first then go back and read the history in the Old Testament.
After Jesus was sacrificed on the Cross and rose from the dead three days later, he appeared to hundreds of people in the following days. In Matthew 28:16-20 Jesus, risen from the dead meet his disciples in Galilee and before leaving earth Jesus tells them, 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
