- Person
Jesus
Jesus of Nazareth is the center of the Christian faith and of FaithGraph. The Gospels present Him as the promised Messiah of Israel, the eternal Word made flesh, who taught, healed, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, rose bodily on the third day, and commissioned His followers to carry the good news to all nations.
Focus this layer - Place
Bethlehem
Bethlehem is a town in the Judean hills south of Jerusalem. It was the hometown of David and, according to Matthew and Luke, the birthplace of Jesus. The prophet Micah named it as the place from which Israel's ruler would come.
