Who is this Jesus (1) of Nazareth (2)? What is He all about? Christians (3) throughout the world praise and honor Him as the King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16). He is the Way and the Truth and the Life (John 14:6) who is the sole gateway (1 Timothy 2:5-6) to Eternal Life.

Here at The Marion County Manna Project (4), we're pretty radical in that we believe that Jesus, fully Man and fully Divine (John 1:14; Colossians 2:9), really lived and walked the Earth some 2,000 years ago and that He was without sin (5). We believe He was unjustly arrested (6) and falsely accused (7) because He threatened the power base of the stiff-necked Religious Leaders (8) of His day.

We believe that Jesus was unmercifully beaten, that He was pierced for our transgressions (9), and that He suffered tremendously before dying on His Cross (10). To top all that off, we also believe that it didn't all end there. We believe that Jesus resurrected from the dead (11) three days later - just as He had prophesied (Matthew 16:21, 17:22-23, 20:17-19; Mark 8:31, 9:30-32, 10:32-34; Luke 9:21-22, 18:31-33) - before ascending to the right hand of God (12) while also dwelling in our hearts (Galatians 4:6).

Lastly, we believe that the Son of Man (13) will return in all His Majestic Glory (14) (1 Corinthians 15:23), defeating one final assault by the powers of evil (Revelation 19:11-20:10). He will have final judgment on both the living and the dead (Revelation 20:11-15) before ushering His children into the New Jerusalem to spend eternity (Revelation 21:1-22:21).
