Jesus is a creature; created by GOD before HE started his work of Creation says the Bible in Proverbs 8: 22-31. That is also why Jesus is called the Firstborn of God. Jesus therefore calls his God ‘Father’, but also ‘his God’ (John 20:17). That is why Jesus says to Mary Magdalene just after being Resurrected that “I am ascending to my and your Father; to my and your God”.
Jesus was sent by the only true God says Jesus himself in John 17:3. And God in that way sent Jesus to us to be a sacrifice at the cross. Jesus went, came to us and paid with his life and body at the cross for our sin. Sin that was brought into the world through the sin Adam and Eve committed by going against Gods commandment. Trespassing Gods commandments is called ‘sin’. Adam and Eve ate from a specific fruit from a tree in the middle of the Garden God told them not to eat; the fruit giving insight in good and evil. (Genesis 3:1-19)
Johannes17:3 "This is eternal life: that they know Thee –the only true God- and Jesus Christ whom Thou has sent”.
Renewing the spiritual bond with God that was broken by Adam and Eva is possible through Jesus. Everyone believing in Jesus and in God who sent Jesus can be reunited with God through His Spirit. Yet one has to come to Jesus first (Galatians 3:26-27) by the baptism in Jesus name (Romans 6:3). Only after that baptism one can join God through the Spirit by means of the laying on of hands (Acts 19:5-6, Acts 8:16-18). After the period of Pouring out of the Spirit this “laying on of hands” is what the Apostles teach and do. No instant receiving of the Spirit after baptism anymore!
Jesus died at the cross on a Wednesday afternoon and was put into the grave before sundown. After 3 nights and days (the biblical day start with sundown and following night, ends with sundown at the end of the day after) he was resurrected from death by God, because to eternal living God commanded him to rise. So Saturday before sundown Jesus was alive again and as a consequence they found the grave empty during the darkness that Sunday morning.
At the empty grave site after he spoke to Mary Magdalene Jesus ascended up to God in Heaven. It was there Jesus was given the special title “Lord” by God (Phillipians 2:9-11): the temporary kingship over all creatures in Heaven and on Earth until he will give back that kingship and power to God says the Bible (1Corinthians 15:24-28). And now Jesus sits at the right side of the throne next to God (Hebrews 8:1).
