Christians believe that he is both [[God]] and a man; that he created the Greek translations use world and mankind, and that he is alive today. He was born around the 4 BC and grew up in place of the Hebrew word [[Palestine]] where he taught about God''Messiah''. After him his followers are called "Christians" s [[love]] and their the [[monotheisticrepentance]] way of religious living "Christianity" which today is comprised of several denominations (e.g. [[Roman Catholicsin]], . 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 [[Orthodoxsalvation]]. ===Name=== Jesus is the name commonly used in English, translated from the Hebrew "Yeshua" and Aramaic "Isho" or "Eshoa". [[AnglicansChrist]]was the title of Jesus (not his surname)and means "anointed". Other titles for Jesus include "Son of God" and "Son of David".
Jesus had been conceived by ===[[Mary]] of [[Nazareth]] in [[Galilee]], after she had become the betrothed wife of [[Joseph (father of Jesus)|Joseph]] of the House of [[David]] but before her husband had taken her home, which is the concluding marriage rite that permits a Jewish couple to live together and have conjugal relations. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that Mary and Joseph therefore never consummated their marriage. Their son was born around 4 BC whilst his parents were visiting [[Bethlehem]] in [[Judea]] to fulfil their civic duty of enrolment; and Joseph duly named him "Jesus" in obedience to the angel Gabriel's bidding. After a short exile in [[Egypt]] the family eventually returned to Nazareth where he grew up. The canonical Christian Scriptures are silent about his adult life until [[John the Baptist]] publicly witnessed to him being the [[Lamb of God]], whereafter he unsuccessfully claimed his rightful inheritance during the incident called "The Cleasing of the Temple", proclaimed the [[Gospel|Good News]] of God's love and taught that [[repentance]] for the forgiveness of [[sins]] is to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations beginning from [[Jerusalem]]. The same sources relate that, after a short public ministry, during the procuratorship of [[Pontius Pilate]], on the day before [[Passover]], he was crucified and died on [[Golgotha]], then just outside Jerusalem, but rose from the dead on the third day and, after showing himself alive on many occasions, was lifted up into Heaven before the eyes Nature of the [[ApostlesChrist]] whom he had appointed to be the witnesses of all this.===
Christians believe The [[Bible]] tells us that Jesus of Nazareth is alive today. Most of them other than God in human flesh ([[AriansJohn 1:1]] believe that he is both and [[GodJohn 1:14]] and man (i).e. a human being) according to the nature and the Second Person in This doctrine is called the Blessed [[Trinityhypostatic union]] that . He is the One not half Godand half man. They believe that through him the world He is fully divine and all that fully man. Understanding this completely is not possible in it has been createdthis life. They believe his teaching that his death atones for Disagreements regarding Christ's nature have occurred since the sins times of all humanity, and that their belief that he is the Christ, the Son of God, and being [[Baptism|baptised]] in his name will bring them to early [[Eternal Lifechurch]] (John 20:31)causing considerable tension at times.
===[[Historical evidence of Jesus of Nazareth is highly regarded by some other religions.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 Gospels, people are frequently quoted as addressing him as "Teacher". ====Sermons and statements==== Most of the direct teaching from Jesus'''Overviews'''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]]. 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]]==== * The [[gospel]] accounts of [[An introduction 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 Christian understanding [[deity of Christ]], as well as to his compassion. ====[[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's love. * ===[[Death of Jesus Christ (theopedia)]]===* [[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 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]].
