Jesus came for all of humanity as the rightful Son of all creation. Not only does he die for humanity, but he also willingly receives the betrayal of those with whom he shares a meal to save them.

To believe in the Son of David is to believe in a ruler who has been promised since the days of the great king, and to put our hope in a reality where we will be saved.
