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 the Greek translations use 4 BC and grew up in place [[Palestine]] where he taught about God's [[love]] and the [[repentance]] of [[sin]]. He died on a cross for the Hebrew word for sins of all humanity and rose again 3 days later. A Christian believes that faith in him brings [[Messiahsalvation]]. After him his followers are called  ===Name=== Jesus is the name commonly used in English, translated from the Hebrew "ChristiansYeshua" and their Aramaic "Isho" or "Eshoa". [[monotheisticChrist]] way was the title of Jesus (not his surname) and means "anointed". Other titles for Jesus include "Son of religious living God"Christianityand " which today is comprised Son of several denominations (e.gDavid".  ===[[Nature of Christ]]=== The [[Roman CatholicBible]], tells us that Jesus is God in human flesh ([[OrthodoxJohn 1:1]], and [[AnglicansJohn 1:14]]). Jesus himself spoke 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 them as his "ekklesia", using the Old Testament term for the early [[church]] causing considerable tension at times. ===[[People Historical evidence of GodJesus Christ]], a word === Many historians (including non-Christian historians) agree that there is reflected in the English word good [[ChurchHistoricity 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.

According to the ===[[birth narratives]] in the [[New Testament canon|canonical]] Gospel accounts of [[Gospel according to Matthew|Matthew]] and [[Gospel according to Luke|Luke]] of the Christian [[New Testament]] Jesus had been conceived by [[Mary]] of [[Nazareth]] in [[Galilee]] by the [[Holy Spirit]], the power of [[Names of God|the Most High God]], after she had become the betrothed wife of [[Joseph (father Birth 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, to signify that he is the one who will [[Saviour|save]] his people from their [[sin|sins]]. After a short exile in [[Egypt]] the family eventually returned to Nazareth where he grew up. The four canonical Gospel accounts of [[Gospel according to Matthew|Matthew]], [[Gospel according to Mark|Mark]], [[Gospel according to Luke|Luke]] and [[Gospel according to John|John]] 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 Cleansing 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 Christian authoritative sources relate that, after a short public ministry, during the procuratorship of [[Pontius Pilate]], on the day before [[Passover]], he was [[crucified]] and [[Death of Jesus|died]] on [[Golgotha]], then just outside Jerusalem, but [[Resurrection|rose from the dead]] on the third day and, after showing himself alive on many occasions, was [[Ascension|lifted up into Heaven]] before the eyes of the [[Apostles]] whom he had carefully [[Teaching of Jesus|taught]] and appointed to be the [[witnesses]] of all this.===

Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth is alive today. Most of them other than [[Arians]] believe that he is both [[God]] and man (that is to say, "man" in the sense of a human being) according to [[The Nature of Christ|the nature]] and the Second Person was born in the Blessed [[TrinityBethlehem]] that is the One God, probably about 4 BC. They believe that through him the whole world and all that is in it has been created. They believe his He was born to [[Teaching Mary (mother of Jesus)|teachingMary]] that his death who was a virgin married to [[AtonementSaint Joseph|atonesJoseph]] for the sins , a carpenter from Galillee. The precise date of all humanityhis birth is not known, and that their belief that he but it is the Christ, the celebrated at [[Son of GodChristmas]], and being [[Baptism|baptised]] in his name will bring them to [[Eternal Life]] (cf. John 20:31).

There is a paucity ===[[Teachings of incontrovertible contemporary or near contemporary non-Christian witnesses to Jesus, yet few Christians doubt that he is a historical personage. Many modern Christian scholars argue, however, that not everything related in the four canonical Gospel accounts is historically true and consider those to be [[Fundamentalists]] who continue to support their historicity, that traditionally has been maintained by the Roman Catholic Church (most recently in [[Vatican II]]'s Apostolic Constitution on Divine Revelation [[Dei Verbum]]).===

Jesus of Nazareth is highly widely regarded by some other religionsas a great teacher. Throughout the Gospels, e.g. [[Islam]]people are frequently quoted as addressing him as "Teacher".

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. ====[[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]].
