    Frequently Asked Questions About Jesus

    Who is Jesus Christ?
    Jesus Christ, also known as Yeshua in Hebrew, is the central figure of Christianity. According to the New Testament, He is the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem (Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 2:1-7). Christians believe He is the prophesied Messiah foretold in the Old Testament (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, Micah 5:2).
    Did Jesus really exist historically?
    Yes. Beyond biblical accounts, Jesus is mentioned by Roman historian Tacitus (Annals 15.44), Jewish historian Josephus (Antiquities 18.3.3), and Pliny the Younger. The historical consensus among scholars is that Jesus of Nazareth was a real historical figure who lived in 1st-century Palestine.
    What did Jesus teach?
    Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God, love, forgiveness, and salvation. His greatest commandments were to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart" and "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:37-39). The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) contains the core of His ethical teachings, including the Beatitudes.
    Did Jesus rise from the dead?
    According to all four Gospels, Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate, died, was buried in a tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, and rose from the dead on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-8). Over 500 eyewitnesses reportedly saw the risen Christ. This event is the cornerstone of the Christian faith.
    Will Jesus come again?
    Yes. Jesus Himself promised His return: "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels" (Matthew 16:27). The Second Coming is affirmed throughout the New Testament (Acts 1:11, Revelation 22:20, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Christians await His return in glory to judge the living and the dead.
    What are the prophecies Jesus fulfilled?
    Jesus fulfilled over 300 Old Testament prophecies, including: born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), from the line of David (Jeremiah 23:5), ministry in Galilee (Isaiah 9:1-2), entry into Jerusalem on a donkey (Zechariah 9:9), betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12-13), crucifixion details (Psalm 22), and resurrection (Psalm 16:10).
