1.  It is believed that around 5 BC Jesus Christ was born in a Roman occupied Bethlehem by a Jewish virgin named Mary. At the time of his birth Mary was engaged to a Jewish carpenter named Joseph. According to The New Testament there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks on that glorious night.

2.  All his days the entire Jewish community called Jesus Christ by his Jewish name Yeshua Hamashiach. In Hebrew, Yeshua means ‘salvation’. Jesus is the English translation of Yeshua from the Greek equivalent Iesous. While Hamashiach in Hebrew means ‘the anointed one’. That is a person who was set apart to serve the Jewish God, Yahweh. In the Old Testament, God’s mashiachs were annointed with oil. Hamashiach was translated into English as ‘The Messiah’ from the Greek equivalent Cristos or Christ. That was how the name of Yeshua Hamashiach was translated to Jesus The Messiah or Jesus Christ.

3.  Nothing much is known about his formative years except that he grew up in Nazareth and spoke in Aramaic Hebrew. However, at the age of thirty after being baptized by John The Baptist, he started preaching to his Jewish community in the Temple of the Jews every single day.

4.  Jesus Christ preached about the Kingdom of God, the oneness of God and repentance. He also made public of his mission to fulfill and preserve the teachings of Moses as well as the teachings of the prophets before him. He never proselytizes. He sees himself as a revivalist of the teachings of Moses. He shared many revealed knowledge and quoted frequently from the scriptures of the Jews.

5.  Jesus Christ also performed many miracles, wonders and signs. He was blessed by God with the gift of healing and wisdom. He even resurrected the dead.

6.  His popularity grew among the Jews to the extent that the Jewish teachers of The Law and their temple elders feared their influence on the Jewish community were at stake. To safeguard their religious standing and importance in the Jewish community these wicked men did every thing to rid off Jesus.

7.  Finally after only three years of preaching his gospel, Jesus was detained by the Roman authority. He was sentenced to death by crucifixion on the ground of being a threat to the security of the state as falsely accused by his Jewish enemies.

8.  Christians believed that Jesus Christ died crucified for the redemption of sins on Good Friday. They also believed that three days later on Easter Sunday, Jesus Christ was raised from the dead by God. The resurrected Jesus Christ then ascended to heaven in a cloud after forty days with his followers.

9.  According to The New Testament Jesus Christ is now standing and sitting at the right hand of God. Christians also believed that Jesus Christ will come again at the end of time for the glory of Israel. Of that day no one knows when. Not even Jesus Christ knows when.
