Who is the person who died on the cross and rose from the dead?

Les explains that the One who died on Calvary’s cross and arose from the dead is the same Creator and Sustainer of the universe who upholds all things by the word of His power and knows every celestial body in its orbit. Les teaches that by Himself He purged our sins and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, exactly as Psalms foretold in the future but now accomplished, as Paul writes in past tense. Les also points out that He is the Messiah of Israel, the Son of God, the Savior of mankind, and the Head of the Body—not the King of the Church—so believers can be joint heirs rather than subjects.
