People hold very different views about Jesus.

• Christians believe he is the Son of God, the promised Messiah, and the Savior who died for humanity’s sins and was raised from the dead.
• Muslims respect Jesus as a great prophet and teacher, born of a virgin, but they do not believe he is divine or that he was crucified.
• Jews generally acknowledge Jesus as a historical figure but reject him as the Messiah.
• Others, including agnostics and atheists, may view Jesus as a moral teacher or influential leader, while some question whether he existed at all.

These varying beliefs shape how people understand his role in history and faith.
