Jesus Christ of Nazareth (also known as Yeshua Joseph, or Joshua) is widely recognized as a savior, a teacher and the messiah (savior) by Christianity and Islam, serving as the main protagonist of Christianity and a major figure in Islam. In Christianity, He is revered as the son of God and God's incarnate who died for the sins of humanity. In Islam, He is revered as the penultimate prophet before Muhammad. In Judaism however, his role isn't that of the messiah and opinions about Him among Jewish scholars vary.

Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, which views Him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament, with most Christian denominations believing Him to be the Son of God who was raised from the dead. Islam considers Jesus a prophet and also the Messiah. He is one of the most influential figures in human history.

His Hebrew name is Yeshua, which translates in English as Joshua, and in Greek as Jesus. 500 years ago, the letter J didn't exist. It was Iesus, the Greek word Ιη, and σος, which then became sous. It meant Healer. Thus Jesus is known as the Christ and the Messiah. Some say that Yeshua possibly evolved from the name Yehoshua, which meant The Lord Saves or Yahweh is salvation. However, it's also believed that the Greek name Iesous may have already existed and been the first chronogical name between it, the English Joshua, the Hebrew Yeshua, and also the name Yehoshua. This likely explains why we call our Messiah Jesus, which is the Version of the Greek Iesous in English.

Christian beliefs include Jesus' virgin birth, performance of miracles, and ascension into Heaven. According to most Christian interpretations of the Bible, the theme of Jesus's teachings was that of repentance, unconditional love, forgiveness of sin, grace, and the coming of the Kingdom of God, also known as the Kingdom of the Heavens. Starting as a small Jewish sect, it developed into a religion clearly distinct from Judaism several decades after Jesus' death. Over the centuries, it spread to most of Europe - especially after the Romans stopped persecuting them and later adopted Christianity as the Empire's official religion. It also spread around the world in recent centuries. His followers look at Jesus Christ the saviour of humanity.

In Islam, it is believed that God will send another messianic figure known as the Mahdi. Jesus was born through Mary, whose task was to be a prophet, and to guide the children of Israel. The Mahdi however will be sent in the end times to reveal the truth, fight against the divisions and unite all of humanity. When Dajjal causes destruction with lies, Jesus will return to Earth and destroy the Antichrist.

Geneaology and Nativity[]

In Christianity, Jesus was Jewish, born to Mary, wife of Joseph. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke offer two accounts of his genealogy. Matthew traces Jesus' ancestry to Abraham through David. Luke traces Jesus' ancestry through Adam to God. The lists are identical between Abraham and David, but differ radically from that point. Matthew has 27 generations from David to Joseph, whereas Luke has 42, with almost no overlap between the names on the two lists. Various theories have been put forward to explain why the two genealogies are so different.

Matthew and Luke each describe Jesus' birth, especially that Jesus was born to a virgin named Mary in Bethlehem in fulfillment of prophecy. Luke's account emphasizes events before the birth of Jesus and centers on Mary, while Matthew's mostly covers those after the birth and centers on Joseph. Both accounts state that Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, his betrothed, in Bethlehem, and both support the doctrine of the virgin birth of Jesus, according to which Jesus was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb when she was still a virgin. At the same time, there is evidence, at least in the Lukan Acts of the Apostles, that Jesus was thought to have had, like many figures in antiquity, a dual paternity, since there it is stated He descended from the seed or loins of David. By taking Him as his own, Joseph will give Him the necessary Davidic descent.

In Matthew, Joseph is troubled because Mary, his betrothed, is pregnant, but in the first of Joseph's four dreams an angel assures Him not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife, because Her child was conceived by the Holy Spirit. In Matthew 2:1–12, wise men or Magi from the East bring gifts to the young Jesus as the King of the Jews. They find Him in a house in Bethlehem. Jesus is now a child and not an infant. Matthew focuses on an event after the Luke Nativity where Jesus was an infant. In Matthew Herod the Great Hears of Jesus' birth and, wanting Him killed, orders the murders of male infants in Bethlehem under age of 2. But an angel warns Joseph in his second dream, and the family flees to Egypt—later to return and settle in Nazareth.

In Luke 1:31–38, Mary learns from the angel Gabriel that she will conceive and bear a child called Jesus through the action of the Holy Spirit. When Mary is due to give birth, she and Joseph travel from Nazareth to Joseph's ancestral home in Bethlehem to register in the census ordered by Caesar Augustus. While there Mary gives birth to Jesus, and as they have found no room in the inn, she places the newborn in a manger. An angel announces the birth to a group of shepherds, who go to Bethlehem to see Jesus, and subsequently spread the news abroad. Luke 2:21 tells how Joseph and Mary have their baby circumcised on the eighth day after birth, and name Him Jesus, as Gabriel had commanded Mary.

After the presentation of Jesus at the Temple, Joseph, Mary and Jesus return to Nazareth.

Famous Quotes[]

For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
~ John 3,16-17

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye
~ Matthew 7,1-5 NIV Bible
Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

Trivia[]
