'''Jesus''' (popularly known as '''Jesus Christ''' or '''Jesus of Nazareth''') is the central figure that separates [[Christianity]] from other [[religion]]s. He was, as Christians believe, both [[God]] and a man; that He created the world and mankind, and that He is alive today.
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 brings [[salvation]].
[[The nature of 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, our Lord and GodNature of Christ]]===
The [[Justification, salvation Bible]] tells us that Jesus is God in human flesh ([[John 1:1]] and grace|What are grace, salvation [[John 1:14]]). This doctrine is called the [[hypostatic union]]. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and justificationfully 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.
===[[The birth Historical evidence of JesusChrist]]===
Many historians (including non-Christian historians) agree that there is good [[The miracles Historicity of Jesus|historical evidence of the life and crucifixion of Jesus]]. Apart from the Bible, there are numerous 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, thousands of people were boldly proclaiming his name and were willing to die throughout the Roman Empire.
===[[The parables 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 teachings precise date of Jesushis birth is not known, but it is celebrated at [[Christmas]].
===[[The death Teachings of Jesus]]===
Most of the direct teaching from Jesus' is recorded in the the [[Gospels]]. These are 4 books ([[Gospel of Matthew]], [[Gospel of Mark]], [[Gospel of Luke]], [[Gospel of John]]) in the [[Bible Dictionary: Jesus]]. 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.
====[[Miracles of Jesus: Miscellaneous topics]]====
The [[gospel]] accounts of [[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.
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]].
