'''Jesus Christ''' (''c.'' 4 BC - AD 30) is the [[only begotten Son]] of [[God]], [[incarnation|incarnated]] in the virgin [[Mary]], and [[Crucifixion|crucified]] for us under [[Pontius Pilate]]. The [[Nicene Creed]], the most widely accepted confession of the [[Christian]] [[faith]], explains that Jesus will return to earth at the end of days to judge the living and the dead. The birth of Jesus is celebrated by Christians worldwide on [[Christmas]], and the [[Resurrection of Jesus Christ]] three days after [[crucifixion]] and death is celebrated as [[Easter]].

The coming of Jesus was [[Bible prophecy|prophesied]] in the [[Old Testament]], where he is his referred to as "the [[messiah]]," or anointed one. He changed the world forever with teachings of [[love]] and [[faith]] and [[forgiveness]], using [[parable]]s like the [[Prodigal Son]] that flow from the existence of [[God]]. "Jesus triumphed over the [[Devil]], and personally set the ultimate example for mankind, by enduring the horrific process of scourging and death by crucifixion under the ancient Roman regime in obedience to God's will." Laws against blasphemy prevented Jesus from describing himself as God, so he repeatedly referred to himself in the [[Gospels]] as the [[Son of Man]], which can be translated as "''the'' Son, a man."
