Jesus Christ
Who is Jesus Christ?
Jesus was a historical figure.
Jesus is arguable the most influential person who ever lived. He is the creator of Christianity, the largest religion of today with over 10 million followers.
Much of what is known about Jesus' life and ministry comes from the four Gospels of the Bible in the New Testament. However, ancient historians such as Josephus, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, and Suetonius mention him, as does the Jewish Talmud (Jewish teachings).
"Jesus" means "Yahweh [the Lord] is salvation". "Christ" is actually a title for Jesus, meaning "the Anointed One", or "Messiah".

- Jesus was sinless (1 Peter 2:22, Hebrews 4:15, 2 Corinthians 5:21)

- Jesus died for the sins of each and every person in the world (1 John 2:2, 2 Corinthians 5:14, 1 Peter 2:24).
- Jesus' death was a substitutionary sacrifice. He died and paid the price for our sins, so that we might live. (1 Peter 2:24, Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45, 1 Peter 1:18-19, Hebrews 2:14-17, 1 Corinthians 1:30).
- Our death is not sufficient to atone for sin because atonement requires a perfect, spotless sacrifice, offered in just the right way. Jesus, the one perfect God-man, came to offer the pure, complete and everlasting sacrifice to remove, atone, and make eternal payment for our sin.
