β¨ Who Was Jesus β Really?
Before faith or controversy, there are facts.
Across time and culture, historians, skeptics, and believers alike agree on these truths about one extraordinary life:
- Born a Jew in ancient Israel during the 1st century (verified)
- Born of a virgin, a story so improbable it was preserved unchanged by friend and foe alike (attested in early sources)
- Attracted great crowds across Judea and Galilee (verified)
- Worked miracles and was crucified under Pontius Pilate, Governor of Rome (verified by Roman and Jewish records)
- Founder of Christianity, now embraced by more than 2 billion followers worldwide
- Catalyst for human progress β inspiring advances in medicine, education, law, fine arts, and human rights
- Center of the worldβs most read and translated book, the Bible
- The only one in history to claim authority to forgive sins and grant eternal life to His followers
These are not legends whispered in myth, but historical realities recorded, remembered, and still reshaping lives today.
So who was He β and why does He still matter?
