This Religion and worldviews video introduces the key concepts surrounding Jesus’ role in the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim worldviews. It explains how shared prophecies in the Jewish Torah and Christian Bible predict the arrival of the Messiah, a leader promised to restore humanity’s relationship with God.

The video highlights how Christians believe Jesus fulfilled these prophecies through his birth, teachings, and actions, while Jewish people continue to await the Messiah. It also covers Jesus’ Jewish upbringing, his challenges with religious leaders, and his teachings of love, kindness, and forgiveness over strict rules and traditions.

The video explores the miracles attributed to Jesus, offering both literal and metaphorical interpretations, and explains his ministry and the events leading to his crucifixion and resurrection, which are commemorated at Easter by Christians.

Finally, it addresses how Jesus’ role differs in Judaism and Islam, with Jewish people not seeing him as the Messiah and Muslims regarding him as a prophet who taught compassion, humility, and justice.
