Christians believe that he is both [[God ]] and a man. They believe ; that he created the world and mankind, and that he is alive today. He was born around the 4 BC 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=== Jesus is the name commonly used in English, translated from the Hebrew "Yeshua" and Aramaic "Isho" or "Eshoa". [[Christ]] was the title of Jesus (not his surname) and means "anointed". Other titles for Jesus include "Son of God" and "Son of David".  ===[[Nature of Christ]]=== The word [[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 Christ]]=== Many historians (including non-Christian historians) agree that there is good [[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. ===[[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 precise date of his birth is not known, but it is celebrated at [[Christmas]]. ===[[Teachings of Jesus]]=== Jesus is widely regarded as a great teacher. Throughout the Greek wordGospels, Cristos, which means annointedpeople are frequently quoted as addressing him as "Teacher". ====Sermons and statements====

====[[Parables of Jesus]]==== 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'''Overviews'''s love. * ===[[An introduction to the Christian understanding Death of Jesus]]=== * [[Jesus Christ (theopedia)]]* 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 Dictionary: Jesus]]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.  * ===[[Bible Dictionary: ChristResurrection of Jesus]]===* Three days after the crucifixion, Jesus appeared [[Disciples of Jesus (compass)|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]].
