In your own words, describe the message of Jesus Christ as recounted in the Bible

What will be an ideal response?

Like many spiritual and philosophical greats, Jesus did not write down his message himself. Indeed, even the historical Jesus is an elusive figure; his name is not mentioned in the non-Christian literature until almost the end of the first century C.E. What we know of his message comes from the Gospels (literally "Good News"), which date from at least forty years after his death.
In keeping with his Jewish background, Jesus embraced the ethical monotheism of traditional Judaism, while putting a new emphasis on the virtues of pacifism and compassion. He warned that wealth and secular achievements mattered little in the larger cosmic sense, and that one should prepare for eternal life by doing good deeds to achieve the ultimate reward in "the kingdom of heaven." He held that love—for God and for other people—was the ultimate goal.
