We as Christians know that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus was born in Bethlehem during the reign of Herod the Great, around 4 to 6 B.C. At the age of 30, he was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. After this he began his ministry teaching about the kingdom of God and preforming miracles. His life in recorded in the New Testament part of the bible and many movies have been made about him, such as the 1977 classic, Jesus of Nazareth. In this movie, Jesus performs many miracles including raising people from the dead. His actions show us how God treats people and how he should be treated. Jesus resurrected Lazarus from the dead because Lazarus and his family had a strong faith in God. After this Lazarus became one of Jesus’ closest friends. His faith resurrected him, Jesus was just the catalyst. Jesus declared that the people who believed in him will die, yet they will live. What I believe this means is that although people will physically die in this life, they will continue to live with God forever in Heaven. When Jesus came to the temple, he lost his temper and destroyed the market shops. He claimed that the temple was God’s house and it should not be corrupted with buying and gambling. It was a holy place and yet the people thought nothing about defiling it. When the woman who was caught committing adultery was about to be stoned, Jesus said to the men chasing her, “the one who hasn’t sinned shall throw the first stone.” No one dared cast the first stone

Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity, the only way of salvation and the second person of the Trinity.

Jesus was born in 6 BC in Bethlehem and died in Jerusalem AD 30. Jesus was a religious leader whose teaching and life are recorded in the new testament of the bible. He is a central figure in Christianity and is emulated as the son of God.
After Jesus’ childhood, he studied and worked to become a carpenter just like Joseph. He then started his teachings of the gospel around the age 30 when he was baptized in the River Jordan by John the Baptist. As said
Jesus Christ is worshiped around the world as being the savior of all mankind. His birth was a miracle because he was born from a virgin. Taken from the Holy Bible, in Matthew 1:18-25, it states
A messiah is a rather ambiguous term. It mainly means an anointed one; usually a messiah is considered to be a son of David and would reestablish Israel to what it once was. Because messiahs are anointed ones they would typically be Jewish priests, prophets and kings. However, a Messiah can also be a warrior, or a man of peace. (CITE) A messiah was to reestablish unity among the Jewish people and navigate through the hardships and oppression that they went through during early Judaism and bring a sense of freedom and relief. An array of messianic claimants came forth during the two peaks of Jewish rebellion, the death of King Herod the Great and the first Jewish war against the Romans.
Discuss the distinction between the Christ of Faith and the Jesus of History. What are the implication did it have within our social location

He was the promise for Israel who will destroy sin and bring salvation. He was born by the virgin Mary from the Holy Spirit, came down to bring the heaven and God’s kingdom.

Jesus is known as the Son of God, the Messiah or the savior of all. Who was the first person to see Jesus as the Messiah? Peter was the first who called him, “Christ, Son of the living God.” There are different versions to this story that can be found in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. I am going to discuss the similarities and differences of how these books relate to each other.
Jesus lived in Judea (later called Palestine), a Middle Eastern land ruled by the Romans. The Romans crucified Jesus about A.D. 30. Jesus' followers were convinced that He rose from the dead, and they soon spread Christianity to major cities throughout the
Christianity is the religion based on the life, death and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, also known as the Christ or Messiah. Jesus was a Jewish teacher and prophet who lived in Palestine in the first century CE. He revealed himself to be the Son of God in fulfillment of Hebrew scripture, and taught that the Kingdom of God was imminent, bringing with it forgiveness and new life for all who believed. His claim to be the Messiah roused opposition from religious and political authorities and he was imprisoned and crucified. His followers believe that after his death, Jesus was resurrected before being taken up to heaven.
As believers, we are constantly reminded that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. His death and his resurrection are fundamental to our Christian faith. Without his death, the relationship between God and His creation would have remained broken. Unfortunately, many believers do not take the time to consider the complex and deep meaning of Jesus’ death. If I have learned one concept throughout this class is that if I do not have a personal comprehension of Jesus’ death, I will never be saved. His death signifies salvation. It motivates us to imitate Jesus’ life as he was completely human and never sinned, yet he died on the cross in the cruelest way. Personally, Jesus’ death means love, reconciliation, redemption, and victory.
An angel appeared before a woman named Mary and stated to her that she would give birth to a son. She would name her son Jesus. Mary being a virgin gave birth to a child, conceived by God through his Spirit. Jesus being conceived in a supernatural manner became man and God in one creation.

Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, born in a town south of Jerusalem, raised in Nazareth in a small village in Galilee. Jesus was not any ordinary child. Jesus was the son of the living God. Not only was He the son of Mary, He was foremost the Son of God. He was incarnated sent to us for the redemption of all mankind. So how do we handle the incarnation of God?
