How old is Jesus?

Wow! That is an awesome question! And it’s also kind of a tricky one to answer because there are really two correct answers to that. Let’s start with the easiest one. We all know that Jesus was a man who lived on the earth and was crucified and died. Jesus, the man, according to the Bible, was in His thirties when He was crucified.

However, Jesus is also God and we know that Jesus was here when the world was created (John 1:1-2) and continues to reign in Heaven until His second coming. Because Jesus is God, He really doesn’t have an age as we know it. Jesus existed even before the world was created; He has always been here so we don’t have a starting point for Him. I know that sounds confusing but it’s true. So, in that respect, we can’t give Him an age.

It is certainly a bit difficult to understand, but Jesus has always been here, He is here now, and He will be here forever.
