Added Jesus' legal name
}}
'''Jesus''' (or '''Jesus Christ''') is the central figure that separates [[Christianity]] from other [[religion]]s. Christians believe that he is both [[God]] and a man; that he created the world and mankind, and that 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) and grew up in [[Palestine]] where he taught about God's [[love]] and the [[repentance]] of [[sin]]. He died on a cross for the sins of all humanity and rose again 3 days later. A Christian believes that faith in 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.
