Yes! Jesus is the defining character of Christianity. Without Jesus, Christianity would not exist. The central Christian belief is that Jesus is the Son of God, that He came to earth through the virgin Mary, died on the cross and rose to life again after three days. God's purpose in this was to save the human race from the penalty of sin (wrongdoing), which is death. Christianity is the belief that Jesus died (and rose again) so that we don't have to.
