Jesus of Nazareth



  Merry Christmas !
  I have a great respect for Jesus of Nazareth/Jesus Christ.
  I think we need to study about his life and Christianity.
Hence I am sharing a few lines. This is a brief info to suit social media. Its most drawn from Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus. Kindly learn more if u find it interesting.
1.       His birth is celebrated annually on December 25 (or various dates in January for some eastern churches) as a holiday known as Christmas, his crucifixion is honored on Good Friday, and his resurrection is celebrated on Easter. The widely used calendar era "AD", from the Latin anno Domini ("in the year of our Lord"), and the alternative "CE", are based on the approximate birth date of Jesus.[30][31]
2.       Christian doctrines include the beliefs that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin named Mary, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, whence he will return.[32] Most Christians believe Jesus enables humans to be reconciled to God. The Nicene Creed asserts that Jesus will judge the dead[33] either before or after their bodily resurrection,[34][35][36] an event tied to the Second Coming of Jesus in Christian eschatology.[37] The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three persons of a Divine Trinity. A minority of Christian denominations reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural.
3.       In Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah.[38][39][40] Muslims believe Jesus was a bringer of scripture and was born of a virgin but was not the Son of God. The Quran states that Jesus himself never claimed divinity.[41] To most Muslims, Jesus was not crucified but was physically raised into Heaven by God.
4.       Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill Messianic prophecies and asserting that the resurrection is a Christian legend.[42]
5.       Christ is derived from the Greek Χριστός (Christos),[49][58] which is a translation of the Hebrew משיח (Meshiakh), meaning the "anointed" and usually transliterated into English as "Messiah".[59][60]
6.       The four canonical gospels (Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John) are the only substantial sources for the life and message of Jesus. Some early Christian groups had separate descriptions of the life and teachings of Jesus that are not included in the New Testament. These include the Gospels of Thomas, Peter, and Judas, the Apocryphon of James, and many other apocryphal writings.
7.       Jesus was Jewish,[13][106] born by Mary, wife of Joseph
8.       Jesus calls people to repent their sins and to devote themselves completely to God.[43] Jesus tells his followers to adhere to Jewish law, although he is perceived by some to have broken the law himself, for example regarding the Sabbath.[43] When asked what the greatest commandment is, Jesus replies: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind ... And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:37–39). Other ethical teachings of Jesus include loving one's enemies, refraining from hatred and lust, and turning the other cheek (Matthew 5:21–44)
9.       the teachings of Jesus not merely as his own preaching, but as divine revelation.
10.   In the gospel accounts, Jesus devotes a large portion of his ministry performing miracles, especially healings
11.   In John, Jesus' miracles are described as "signs", performed to prove his mission and divinity.[
12.   In the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1–9, Mark 9:2–8, and Luke 9:28–36),[130][131][140] Jesus takes Peter and two other apostles up an unnamed mountain, where "he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white."
13.   Jesus was a Galilean Jew,[13] born around the beginning of the first century, who died between 30 and 33 AD in Judea.[6] and was crucified by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who held office from 26 to 36 AD
14.   Jesus gave most of his teachings in Aramaic.[340]
15.   Modern scholars agree that Jesus was a Jew of first-century Palestine.
16.   Most Christians believe that Jesus was both human and the Son of God
17.   Judaism rejects the idea of Jesus being God,[42] or a mediator to God, or part of a Trinity.[380] It holds that Jesus is not the Messiah, arguing that he neither fulfilled the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh nor embodied the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
18.   While the Qur'an acknowledges the Virgin birth of Jesus, He is considered to be neither the incarnation nor the son of God
19.   The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has several distinct teachings about Jesus. Ahmadis believe that he was a mortal man who survived his crucifixion and died a natural death at the age of 120 in Kashmir, India and is buried at Roza Bal.[406]
