Christ

Christ refers to Jesus of Nazareth, a central figure in Christianity, believed by Christians to be the Son of God and the Messiah (or "Christ" means "the anointed one"). His teachings, death, and resurrection form the foundation of Christian faith. Many view him as a moral teacher who preached love, compassion, and forgiveness. His life and message have significantly influenced Western culture and history. In addition to Christianity, Jesus is also recognized in Islam as a prophet. Christ's life is recorded in the New Testament of the Bible, which is central to Christian doctrine and practice.
