How did Greek culture prepare the world for the coming of Jesus Christ?
AnswerThe ancient Greek philosophers developed the concept of the Logos, usually translated as 'Word', that was so successfully used by the early Christians, particularly the author of John's Gospel, to describe Jesus. The early Christians were able to suggest that if Jesus was the Word, then the philosophers had foreshadowed him.

What do christians believe that Jesus was?
Christians believe Jesus was who he said he was and proved it to the Jews, Romans and Gentiles. He is the Messiah (Jewish Savior) as promised by God to Israel. He is the Son of God making him the God/Man person sent by God himself. Christians and some Jews believe he is the only one who could enable us to get to heaven and have eternal life. Jesus was specific. If you declare he is the Son of God and turn from your sins to Him you will receive eternal life. Many of the Jews at the time were upset because he equated himself to be God and be equal with God. They crucified him for this reason (note that Jesus is Jewish). Christians believe Jesus/The Holy Spirit/Father God are their authority and His Word (the Bible) is their authoritative guide to live by. See link below
