Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Jesus Christ is regarded as the son of the Christian god and the human virgin Mary. The modern Anno Domini calendar system begins at the year that Jesus was thought to have been born. Raised by Mary and her husband Joseph, a simple carpenter, it is said that he lived a humble life while using his godlike powers to aid those in need and to teach others about his true father.
As an adult, Jesus was eventually arrested by the Romans and put to death by means of crucifixion. It is claimed that he then rose from his grave three days later to join his father in Heaven. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah, and that those that both confess their sins and believe that Jesus died for their sins will also ascend to Heaven.
Christ's existence as messiah and savior, a core element of the Christian religion, is also one of the key points that differentiates it from other religions of the same origin. In Judaism, it is believed that Jesus is not the messiah and that in fact the messiah has not yet been born. In Islam, Jesus is not regarded as the son of god, but as a prophet.
Christ has been depicted and referenced in a relatively small number of video games over the years. A number of these games are inherently religious in nature, such as Jesus of Nazareth or Bible Trivia. However, he has also appeared in more satirical forms such as in South Park Rally.
