Fulfilment of God's Promises Through Jesus
In all of human history, Jesus Christ is arguably the most influential and prominent person to have lived. He is seen as the founder of the largest religion in the world, Christianity, and is considered by Catholics to be the Son of God. To Catholics, he is also regarded as the saviour, the redeemer and the fulfillment of God’s promises in the Old Testament which is confirmed through the New Testament scriptural verse, John 3:16. The values Jesus taught are the cornerstone of social justice. To disciples, Jesus’ message of preparing for the kingdom of God is central and at the core of their belief and his teachings are as relevant in modern society as it were 2000 years ago.
Jesus Christ, or Jesus of Nazareth or the Nazerene as he was commonly referred to, was born in 1AD in Bethlehem in Israel to parents Mary and Joseph. It is thought that he was a carpenter by trade as Joseph was one because it was common in those days for sons to follow in their father’s footsteps in terms of their occupation. He is viewed as the founder of Christianity even though he himself was Jewish and preached his ministry between 30AD to 33AD. To mark the start of his ministry, he was baptised by his cousin, John the Baptist in the River Jordan in around 29AD. Along his journey around Judea and Palestine to preach the coming of the Kingdom of God, he attracted twelve apostles and hundreds of disciples. During his time on Earth, he was reported to have performed many miracles such as walking across the sea of Galilee and transforming water into wine at a wedding ceremony in Cana, Galilee. Jesus also resurrects a man called Lazarus back to life despite being dead for four days.
Catholics see Jesus as various things and there are over 700 titles and different names for Jesus in the bible . There are so many names as they each serve as a description of who he is and how He works in the lives of individuals. Some of the names include, Alpha and Omega which symbolise the eternal nature
