Who was Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ is the central figure of the Bible — the Son of God who lived, died, and rose again to save the world.

RoleThe Son of God, Savior of the world
Erac. 4 BC – AD 30
Born inBethlehem
MotherMary
TitleSon of God, Messiah
Known forHis death and resurrection

Born in Bethlehem to the virgin Mary, Jesus grew up in Nazareth and began his public ministry around the age of thirty. He preached the kingdom of God, healed the sick, forgave sinners, and taught with unmatched authority.

He called himself the way, the truth, and the life, and demonstrated his identity through miracles and his perfect love. Rejected by the religious leaders, he was crucified in Jerusalem — yet his death, the Bible teaches, was the willing sacrifice that takes away the sin of the world.

On the third day Jesus rose from the dead, appeared to many, and ascended to heaven, promising to return. The whole of Scripture points to him as the promised Messiah and risen Lord.
