Christ [left] a model for you to follow his steps closely.

—1 Pet. 2:21.

What was your reaction when you learned the following truths about the Son? Jesus is the second most important person in the universe. He is our Ransomer.

He willingly gave his life for us. When we show by our actions that we have faith in the ransom, we can have our sins forgiven, develop a friendship with God, and gain everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Jesus is our High Priest. He wants to help us to benefit from the ransom and to have a close relationship with God. (Heb. 4:15;7:24, 25) As King of God’s Kingdom, he is the one through whom Jehovah will sanctify His name, end wickedness, and bring eternal blessings in the coming Paradise. (Matt. 6:9, 10;Rev. 11:15)

Jesus is our model. He set an example for us in devoting his life to doing God’s will. (John 4:34) When you accept what the Bible teaches about Jesus, you come to love God’s dear Son. That love moves you to use your life to do God’s will, as Jesus did.
