He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of theVirgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the just for the unjust as a substitution for sacrifice. Allwho believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He rose from the deadaccording to the scriptures. He is now at the right hand of His Majesty on High as our GreatPriest. (Matthew 1:18-23; 28:6 Isaiah 53:5; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 7:25; 4:14; Romans 3:24-25;John 20:9)
