Jesus Christ
a.k.a. Jesus of Nazareth
“The
kingdom of God comes not with observation.
Neither shall they say, ‘Lo
here!’ or, ‘lo there!’ for, behold,
the kingdom of God is within you.”
- Luke 17:20-21 |

Jesus
of Nazareth (1st century CE) was, according to the four
Gospels, the son of God and Mother Mary,
a humble Jewish peasant woman who received the annunciation from the
archangel Gabriel that she was to give birth to the son of God while
remaining a virgin.
After disappearing for a period of
eighteen years (between the age of twelve and thirty), Jesus came to
John the Baptist and received the
Christ consciousness from the Holy Spirit, thereby becoming Jesus the
Christ.
For three years, he preached the
message of God's love for all His creatures throughout the land of Israel,
before being crucified in Jerusalem. His Aramaic name, Yeshua, means
"salvation." Yeshua is itself a contracted form of Yehoshua, meaning "The
Lord who is salvation."
