Jesus

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

(Redirected from Jesus Christ)

Jesus (c. 4 BC – AD 30 / 33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, 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 (the Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament.

Life and teachings

Jesus was a Galilean Jew, who was baptized by John the Baptist and began his own ministry. His teachings were initially conserved by oral transmission and he himself wrote nothing, but his message and the stories about him were passed on in collections of sayings, the Gospels and other writings by authors who, according to many scholars, drew upon various sources, including those circulating in the communities of the oral tradition.

Death and resurrection

Christians believe that Jesus was arrested and tried by the Sanhedrin, and sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged, and finally crucified by the Romans. Christians traditionally believe that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and ascended into Heaven.

Legacy

Jesus's teachings and the retelling of his life story have significantly influenced the course of human history, and have directly or indirectly affected the lives of billions of people, even non-Christians. He is widely considered one of the most influential and significant persons in human history.
