'''Jesus''' (popularly known as '''Jesus Christ''' or '''Jesus Christof Nazareth''') is the central figure that separates [[Christianity]] from other [[religion]]s. He was, as Christians believe that he is , both [[God]] and a man; that he He created the world and mankind, and that he He is alive today.  He was born around 4 B.C (although the year is disputed to be anywhere between 7 and 4 BC B.C) in [[Bethlehem]]. His family fled to [[Egypt]] under the prosecution of [[Herod the Great]] before settling in [[Nazareth]]. Jesus worked as a carpenter with His legitimate father, [[St. Joseph]] in and grew up in around [[Judea]] (modern day Israel or [[Palestine]] where he taught ). Around the age of 30, He preached about God's [[love]] and the [[repentance]] of [[sin]]. Due to his teachings, the [[Pharisees]] accused Jesus of [[blasphemy]] and asked the Roman governor, [[Pontius Pilate]] for his execution. He died on a cross for the sins of all humanity and rose again 3 days later. A Christian believes that faith in him Him brings [[salvation]].
===Name===
[[Christ]] was the title of Jesus (not his surname) and means "anointed". Other titles for Jesus include "Son of God" and "Son of David".
 
Jesus' legal name would have been "Jesus ben Joseph" or more literally, Yehoshua ben Yosef.
===[[Nature of Christ]]===
===[[Death of Jesus]]===
[[Jesus]] was crucified in [[Jerusalem]] around the year 30 AD. He was executed because of his claims to be the Son of God, which was considered blasphemous by the religious leaders of his day. In his death, the [[Bible]] tells us, that he He bore all the [[sin]]s of mankind, so that we could be clean and without sin in the eyes of [[God]]. His death is remembered on [[Good Friday]] but it is not the end of the story.
===[[Resurrection of Jesus]]===
