According to the birth narratives in the canonical Gospel accounts of Matthew and Luke of the Christian New Testament '''Jesus''' (or '''Jesus had been conceived by Mary of Nazareth in Galilee by Christ''') is the Holy Spirit, the power of the Most High central figure that separates [[Christianity]] from other [[religion]]s. Christians believe that he is both [[God, after she had become ]] and a man; that he created the betrothed wife of Joseph of the House of David but before her husband had taken her homeworld and mankind, 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 marriagehe is alive today. Their son He was born around the 4 BC whilst his parents were visiting Bethlehem in Judea to fulfil their civic duty of enrolment; and Joseph duly named him "Jesus" grew up in obedience to the angel Gabriel's bidding, to signify that he is the one who will save his people from their sins. After a short exile in Egypt the family eventually returned to Nazareth [[Palestine]] where he grew up. The four canonical Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are silent taught 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 Good News of God's [[love ]] and taught that the [[repentance ]] of [[sin]]. He died on a cross for the forgiveness sins of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations beginning from Jerusalemhumanity and rose again 3 days later. The same A Christian authoritative sources relate believes 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 of the Apostles whom he had carefully taught and appointed to be the witnesses of all thisfaith in him brings [[salvation]].
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 and the Second Person in the Blessed Trinity that is the One God. They believe that through him the whole world and all that is in it has been created. They believe his teaching that his death atones for the sins of all humanity, and that their belief that he is the Christ, the Son of God, and being baptised in his name will bring them to Eternal Life (cf. John 20:31). ===Name===
There is a paucity 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, howeverthe name commonly used in English, that not everything related in translated from the four canonical Gospel accounts is historically true Hebrew "Yeshua" 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)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 Nazareth is highly regarded by some other religions, e.g. IslamDavid".
===[[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 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.
'''Overviews'''===[[Birth of Jesus]]=== * Jesus Christ was born in [[An introduction Bethlehem]], probably about 4 BC. He was born to the Christian understanding [[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' is recorded in the the [[Gospels]]. These are 4 books (overview[[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 [[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 (theopedia)]], 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. * ===[[Bible Dictionary: Death of Jesus]]=== * [[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: Christ]]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.  ===[[Resurrection 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]].
