About Jesus in brief
Jesus was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader. He is the central figure of Christianity, the world’s largest religion. Most Christians believe he is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God’s important prophets and the Messiah. Muslims believe Jesus was born of a virgin, but was neither God nor a begotten God. Muslims do not believe he was killed or crucified, but that he was physically raised into Heaven by God. Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaiting Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill Messianic prophecies, and was neither divine nor resurrected. The English name Jesus is derived from the Latin Iesus, a transliteration of the Greek Ἰησοῦς. The Greek form is a rendering of the Hebrew ‘Joshua’, or in English, ‘Yah saves’. The name Yeshua appears to have been in use in Judea at the time of the birth of Jesus. The word Jesus gave to himself during his high priestly prayerly was not a title or office, but a name that was given to him during his time as a high priest. The etymology of Jesus’ name in the context of the New Testament is generally given as “Yahweh is salvation”. Christians have commonly referred to Jesus as ‘Jesus Christ’ since the early period of Christianity. Christians believe Jesus enables people to be reconciled to God.
The Nicene Creed asserts that Jesus will judge the living and the dead either before or after their bodily resurrection, an event tied to the Second Coming of Jesus in Christian eschatology. The widely used calendar era ‘AD’ and ‘CE’ are based on the approximate birthdate of Jesus, which is celebrated annually on December 25 as Christmas. His crucifixion is honored on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday. The name Jesus Christ is the name the author of the Gospel of John claims to have given to Jesus during his early days as a priestly prayerly man. He was a Galilean Jew, who was baptized by John the Baptist and began his own ministry. He preached orally and was often referred to as “rabbi’”. Jesus debated with fellow Jews on how to best follow God, engaged in healings, taught in parables and gathered followers. He died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement for sin, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, from where he will return. In Judaism, the name ‘Messiah’ is usually transliterated into English as ’anointed and usually used as an sacred oil’, usually used to refer to an sacred sacred oil that was sacred in Judaism. In the New Bible, Jesus was referred to by his neighbors as � ‘the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon’s son’
