Christianity is Jesus

The central figure of Christianity is Jesus within which he is venerated as son of god. Jesus stands for love. His love is entirely different from human love. He also shows mercy, kindness, grace towards his fellow human beings. Hence we should also show love and trust towards Jesus. We should daily follow the words of Jesus that he had thought during his living period in this world.

The Hebrew word for “Messiah” is “Moshiach” The literal and proper translation of this word is “anointed,” which refers to a ritual of anointing and consecrating someone or something with oil. (I Samuel 10:1-2) It is used throughout the Jewish Bible in reference to a wide variety of individuals and objects; for example, a Jewish king (I Kings 1:39), Jewish priests (Leviticus 4:3), prophets (Isaiah 61:1), the Jewish Temple and its utensils (Exodus 40:9-11), unleavened bread (Numbers 6:15), and a non-Jewish king (Cyrus king of Persia, Isaiah 45:1).
