Jesus is held to be a manifestation of God as a human. The religion of Christianity is centered on belief that his death provided atonement for sin. He may have been an actual historical figure, a Jewish teacher and political leader who lived in Palestine. Jesus is held to be a prophet in the Islamic religion and a false Messiah in Judaism, though more modern Jewish scholars have taken to viewing Jesus in a more positive light.
