The Person Of Jesus Christ

For instance, the three faiths are considered to be Abrahamic religions because they emphasis in worshiping of one God, God of Abraham, and they contain a familiar figure known as Jesus Christ. However, these religions have different conventions on the way they carry forward the stories originating from the Hebrew sculptures especially on the story of Jesus Christ. Thus, the current paper evaluates the ways these three monotheistic religions contend and concur about Jesus Christ. To begin, there are facets of similarities and parallels in the birth and life of Jesus Christ between these monotheists. At the outset, Judaism, Islamic, and Christianity believe that Jesus was born miraculously by Virgin Mary of Nazareth. According to the New Testament Bible, God loved the world in a manner that he gave his son to help his believers from perishing by giving them eternal life (John 3:16).

This section indicates that God has a son hence supporting the idea of Trinity and the perception of viewing Jesus as the child of God. On the other hand, the Muslims oppose the ideology of Trinity since they believe in complete singleness God who is powerful and free from human needs, wants and limitations (Zebiri, 84). In this case, Muslims do not trust that Jesus is God’s son as evident on the Quran’s extract which indicates that Muslims must believe in God’s messengers but dot belief that there is more than one God (Quran 4:171). Similarly, Judaism indicates that Jesus was not the son of the David the messiah rather a human messiah for Christians hence not the son of the one and only God (Peters, 15).

Three days after his death, Jesus resurrected and went to heaven to wait for the second coming of the Messiah. Similarly, Jews agree that Jesus was crucified for his claim to be divine and not to save the humankind (Scheffler, 295). On the other hand, Muslims assert that Jesus was neither executed on the cross nor resuscitated since the Quran indicates that “they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but they thought they did” (Quran 4:157). This means that Muslims denies the Christianity and Judaism teaching of death and resurrection of Jesus. Overall, several differences and similarities are evident when examining the unique perception of the birth, mission, death, and resurrection of Jesus via the Islamic, Christianity and Judaism lenses.
