About this audiobook

From before the foundation of the world to His miraculous birth, His life and ministry, His sacrificial death, and His glorious resurrection, Who Is Jesus and Why It Matters unveils the truth about the most influential figure in history. This book explores: Jesus Before Creation – His eternal nature as the Logos, the Alpha and Omega, and the Creator of all things. Jesus in the Old Testament – His appearances as the Angel of the Lord, Melchizedek, and the fulfillment of prophecy. Jesus in the Gospels – How Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each reveal His identity and mission. The Historical Jesus – Evidence from extra-biblical sources such as Josephus, Tacitus, and Roman records. Jesus’ Kingdom and Return – His ultimate reign and why His promises matter today. With deep biblical insight, historical evidence, and compelling narrative, this book presents Jesus as He truly is—the Messiah, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world.
