Christians consider Jesus to be the Christ and believe that through his death and resurrection, humans can be reconciled to God and thereby are offered salvation and the promise of eternal life.〔''Oxford Companion to the Bible'' p.649〕 These teachings emphasize that as the willing Lamb of God, Jesus ''chose to'' suffer on the cross at Calvary as a sign of his full obedience to the will of the Eternal Father, as an "agent and servant of God".〔''The Christology of Anselm of Canterbury'' by Dániel Deme 2004 ISBN 0-7546-3779-4 pages 199-200〕〔''The Christology of the New Testament'' by Oscar Cullmann 1959 ISBN 0-664-24351-7 page 79〕 The choice Jesus made thus counter-positions him as a new man of morality and obedience, in contrast to Adam's disobedience.〔''Systematic Theology, Volume 2'' by Wolfhart Pannenberg 2004 0567084663 ISBN pages 297-303〕 Most Christians believe that Jesus was both human and divine—the Son of God. While there has been theological debate over the nature of Jesus, Trinitarian Christians believe that Jesus is the Logos, God incarnate, God the Son, and "true God and true man"—both fully divine and fully human. Jesus, having become fully human in all respects, suffered the pains and temptations of a mortal man, yet he did not sin. As fully God, he defeated death and rose to life again. According to the Bible, God raised him from the dead.〔, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 〕 He ascended to heaven to sit at the Right Hand of God,〔, , , , , , , , , , , , 〕 and he will return to earth again for the Last Judgment and the establishment of the Kingdom of God in the World to Come. == Core teachings about Christ == Although Christian views of Jesus vary, it is possible to summarize key elements of the shared beliefs among major denominations based on their catechetical or confessional texts.〔Jackson, Gregory Lee, ''Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant: a doctrinal comparison'' 1993 ISBN 978-0-615-16635-3 Part One: "Areas of Agreement", pages 11-17〕〔''The Orthodox Church: An Introduction to Its History, Doctrine'' by John Anthony McGuckin 2010 pages 6-7〕〔''Basic Christian doctrine'' by John H. Leith 1993 ISBN 0-664-25192-7 pages 1-2〕 Christian views of Jesus are derived from various biblical sources, particularly from the canonical Gospels and New Testament letters such as the Pauline Epistles. Christians predominantly hold that these works are historically true.〔Second Vatican Council, (''Dei Verbum'' (V.19) ); Thomas Aquinas, (''Whether in Holy Scripture a word may have several senses?'' ); c.f. Catechism of the Catholic Church, (§116 ); R.C. Sproul, ''Knowing Scripture'' pp. 45–61; Greg Bahnsen, (''A Reformed Confession Regarding Hermeneutics'' (art. 6) ); Scott Foutz, ('' Martin Luther and Scripture'' )〕 Those groups or denominations committed to what are considered biblically orthodox Christianity nearly all agree on the following points:〔"Who is Jesus? What Do Christians Believe?" Johns Hopkins University. Graduate Christian Fellowship. () 1 May 2013〕 *Christians believe that Jesus was a human being who was also fully God. *Christians believe that Jesus came into the world as the son of only one earthly parent, Mary. *Christians believe that Jesus never sinned or did anything wrong. *Christians believe that Jesus was eventually martyred as a religious heretic, was buried in a tomb, and then on the third day came back to life. *Christians believe that because he rose from the tomb on the third day, that he lives and has a body of flesh and bone today. *Christians believe that Jesus eventually ascended back to God the Father. *Christians believe that Jesus will come back to earth a second time.〔cf. , , , 〕 The five major milestones in the gospel narrative of the life of Jesus are his Baptism, Transfiguration, Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension.〔''Essays in New Testament interpretation'' by Charles Francis Digby Moule 1982 ISBN 0-521-23783-1 page 63〕〔''The Melody of Faith: Theology in an Orthodox Key'' by Vigen Guroian 2010 ISBN 0-8028-6496-1 page 28〕〔 These are usually bracketed by two other episodes: his Nativity at the beginning and the sending of the Paraclete (Holy Spirit) at the end.〔〔''Scripture in tradition'' by John Breck 2001 ISBN 0-88141-226-0 page 12〕 The gospel accounts of the teachings of Jesus are often presented in terms of specific categories involving his "works and words", e.g., his ministry, parables and miracles.〔''The Bible Knowledge Commentary'' by John F. Walvoord, Roy B. Zuck 1983 ISBN 0-88207-812-7 page 100〕〔''The words and works of Jesus Christ'' by J. Dwight Pentecost 2000 ISBN 978-0-310-30940-6 page 212〕 Christians not only attach theological significance to the ''works'' of Jesus, but also to his ''name''. Devotions to the name of Jesus go back to the earliest days of Christianity.〔Hunter, Sylvester. ''Outlines of dogmatic theology'', Volume 2. 2010 ISBN 1-146-98633-5 p. 443〕〔Houlden, Leslie. ''Jesus: the Complete Guide'', 2006. ISBN 0-8264-8011-X p. 426〕 These exist today both in Eastern and Western Christianity—both Catholic and Protestant.〔 Christians predominantly profess that through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, he restored humanity's communion with God with the blood of the New Covenant. His death on a cross is understood as a redemptive sacrifice: the source of humanity's salvation and the atonement for sin〔''Catechism of the Catholic Church'' §606–618; Council of Trent (1547) in Denzinger-Schönmetzer, ''Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum'' (1965) §1529; 〕 which had entered human history through the sin of Adam.〔''Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England,'' article 9; ''Augsburg Confession,'' article 2; ''Second Helvetic Confession,'' chapter 8; ; .〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesus in Christianity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
