Are there any real historical records of a person named Jesus claiming to be the Messiah other than stories in the New Testament?
A:
No. The earliest written narrative of Jesus of Nazareth was Mark's Gospel, but this was not written until about 70 CE. The other New Testament gospels do not provide independent witness, since it is now acknowledged that they were based on Mark's Gospel, either directly (Matthew, Luke) or indirectly (John). The Jewish historian Josephus mentions Jesus, but only to say that theChristians believed in him.
Since Mark's Gospel is scarcely contemporary, there is really no contemporary record of Jesus. Paul, in his epistles seems not to have been aware that Jesus was a man who had lived and died only a few years earlier in Palestine.

Did the Old Testament contain the teachings of and the written records of the life of Jesus?
No, the Jewish Cannon of their scriptures (commonly referred to as the "Old Testament") had closed roughly 400 years before Jesus (the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Jeshua, which is used in the Old Testament to refer to the follower of Moses that brought the Jews into Canaan) was born. The followers of Jesus recorded stories of his teachings, life, death, resurrection, and ascension in the books that were ultimately collected into the New Testament. Most Jews reject Jesus as a Messiah (transliterate into Greek as Christ) and the New Testament. The Catholic Church closed the Christian Cannon of the New Testament about 400 years after Jesus died.
How do you explain what the New Testament to children?
You can tell them that the New Testament contains historical records about the life of Jesus and the establishment of the Christian Church. However you should also teach how the Old Testament is a record of man's history and God's dealing with mankind throughout history. In the Old Testament the nature and character of God is revealed and we learn about the relationship of God and man.
