'''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 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]].
Jesus is the name commonly used in English, translated from the Hebrew "Yeshua" and Aramaic "Isho" or "Eshoa".
[[An introduction to Christ]] was the Christian understanding title of Jesus]](not his surname) and means "anointed". Other titles for Jesus include "Son of God" and "Son of David".
===[[The nature Nature of Christ]]===
The [[Bible]] tells us that Jesus, is God in human flesh ([[John 1:1]] and [[John 1:14]]). This doctrine is called the [[hypostatic union]]. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. Understanding this completely is not possible in this life. Disagreements regarding Christ's nature have occurred since the times of the early [[church]]causing considerable tension at times.
===[[Historical evidence of Jesus, our Lord and GodChrist]]===
Many historians (including non-Christian historians) agree that there is good [[JustificationHistoricity of Jesus|historical evidence of the life and crucifixion of Jesus]]. Apart from the Bible, salvation and grace|What there are gracenumerous mentions of Jesus in historical texts. But perhaps most compelling that Jesus existed is that fact that just a few short years after his death, salvation thousands of people were boldly proclaiming his name and justification]]were willing to die throughout the Roman Empire.
===[[The birth Birth of Jesus]]===
Jesus Christ was born in [[Bethlehem]], probably about 4 BC. He was born to [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Mary]] who was a virgin married to [[Saint Joseph|Joseph]], a carpenter from Galillee. The miracles precise date of Jesushis birth is not known, but it is celebrated at [[Christmas]].
===[[The parables Teachings of Jesus]]===
Most of the direct teaching from Jesus' is recorded in the the [[Gospels]]. These are 4 books ([[Gospel of Matthew]], [[The resurrection Gospel of JesusMark]], [[Gospel of Luke]], [[Gospel of John]]) in the [[Bible]]. One of the most well know sections of teaching is called the [[Sermon on the Mount]]where Jesus called on his followers to live lives of love, loving God, loving family and friends and even loving enemies. Jesus also taught about himself, that it was only through him that a person could come to know God.
====[[Ascension Miracles of ChristJesus]]====
The [[gospel]] accounts of [[Bible Dictionary: Jesus]]' life record numerous miracles that Jesus performed. He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind and calmed the storms. These miracles act as a testimony to the [[deity of Christ]], as well as to his compassion.
====[[Parables of Jesus: Miscellaneous topics]]====
Jesus often taught using illustrations and stories - parables. His parables often tell of the kingdom of God and the nature of God. Sometimes the meaning is clear, at other times it can seem hidden. Some o his most famous parables include the story of the [[Good Samaritan]] which teaches about loving each other, and the story of the [[Prodigal Son]], which teaches about God's love.
[[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 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.
Three days after the crucifixion, Jesus appeared [[Disciples of Jesus|to his disciples]], risen from the dead. He sent his disciples out into the world and today millions of people today know the risen Lord Christ and celebrate his resurrection on [[Easter Sunday]].
There are numerous prophecies about the Christ in the [[Old Testament]]. These prophecies, sometimes called [[Messianic Prophecy|Messianic Prophecies]], were clearly fulfilled in Jesus. One of the most commonly cited Messianic prophecy is [[Isaiah 53]] which talks about the suffering servant.
