**Yeshua**, more commonly referred to as **Jesus Christ,** was a first-century Jewish teacher and prophet. Christians believe He is the Son of God and came to fulfill the Law of Moses in the Old Testament. Virtually all historians can agree that he was a real person, however, the historical account of the Gospels is debated due to extensive academic research. The Gospels are the first four New Testament books (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) that cover Yeshua's life on earth and ministry. Prior to his three-year ministry, he was a carpenter by trade. Little is known about his early life, other than the profound wisdom he had for the teachers when he went into the temple at the age of 12 (Luke 2:47).

## ***Life and Teachings***

Some of the many teachings and miracles of Jesus include but is not limited to--the Beatitudes (a portion of Sermon on the Mount), his healing of the sick, lame, blind, paraplegic, water being turned into wine, his friend Lazarus being raised from the dead, demons being cast out, feeding 5000 people, and walking on water.

At the start of his ministry, he began to call together an informal group of twelve extraordinary men and others (collectively known as the disciples). This group of people included brash fishermen, a tax collector, doubters, liars, thieves, and others who helped lie the foundation and mold Christianity into what it is today. It is because of their contributions to the development of Christianity, that the Bible has been compiled into the sixty-six canonical scriptures we know today. They may have been atypical to be selected as Jesus's disciples, but from what we can understand, God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called. In the end, it was only Jesus who could sanctify them.

Throughout His ministry, He faced intense opposition from two distinct groups, the Pharisees and the Sadducees. These were the fanatical, zealous religious leaders of Jesus's time who maintained a strict adherence and observance to the Torah (aka Hebrew Bible / Old Testament). They elevated themselves to a uniform sense of moral authority because of their excellent interpretation and understanding of the Torah and its prophecies, yet could not see the prophecies of the Messiah being fulfilled in front of their very eyes. However, they were ultimately blinded by their sacred books traditions, and not looking into the viable claims Jesus was making at the time. They challenged Yeshua's teachings and openly opposed him, later plotting against him and ordering his execution by crucifixion.
