Jesus Christ is a central figure in Christianity, recognized by Christians as the Son of God and the awaited Messiah (Christ), prophesied in the Old Testament. His life and teachings form the foundation of Christian belief and practice.
Key Aspects of Jesus Christ:
- Birth: Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary, a virgin, which is celebrated in the Nativity story. The accounts of his birth can be found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
- Ministry: Jesus began his public ministry around the age of 30, preaching about the Kingdom of God, love, forgiveness, and repentance. He performed miracles, healed the sick, and taught through parables.
- Crucifixion and Resurrection: Jesus was crucified under Roman authority; a sacrifice Christians believe was made for the atonement of humanity’s sins. Christians celebrate his resurrection on Easter Sunday, believing that he rose from the dead three days after his crucifixion.
- Teachings: His teachings emphasize love, compassion, humility, and justice. The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) is one of his most famous discourses.
- Role in Christianity: Christians believe that Jesus is the incarnate Word of God (Logos) and that faith in him is essential for salvation.
