Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Divine second person of the Trinity, who assumed a human nature and lived among men for thirty-three years around the year 0 A.D. He was the fulfillment of the Jewish prophecies about a Messiah or Anointed One, which dated back to the time of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden when God promised that "the seed of woman" would conquer Satan, who represents evil and sin. He was born of the Virgin Mary in the town of Bethlehem. Immediately after his birth, the family fled to Egypt because King Herod, afraid that the prophecy of the Messiah might come true and threaten his rule, ordered the execution of all children under the age of two. When Israel was once again safe, the family returned and Christ lived a quiet life until the age of thirty.
