Jesus

Jesus is considered to be the living embodiment of the Supreme Being of the universe, most commonly referred to as God. Jesus may also be seen as belonging to the Holy Trinity - the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Jesus was born in Nazareth, in the province of Galilee circa 5 B.C.E. Little is known about Jesus' life as a child except that he was the son of a carpenter and also practiced the same vocation. In Jesus' late twenties, he met John the Baptist and was baptized. Jesus then began his own ministry.

The story of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection is recounted in the New Testament. Jesus' purpose on earth was to teach the world about the Kingdom of God and one's place in it, should one choose to embrace the Father and follow the teachings of Christianity.
