Here ya go:
Jesus Christ is real in both historical and theological terms. Historically, most scholars agree that a man named Jesus of Nazareth lived in first-century Judea, was a Jewish teacher, and was crucified under Roman rule. This is supported by writings from Roman historians like Tacitus and Jewish sources like Josephus, as well as the existence of early Christian communities whose origins are difficult to explain without a central figure like Jesus.

Theologically, whether Jesus is "real" as the Son of God depends on one's belief system. For Christians, Jesus is not only real but central—God in human form, whose life, death, and resurrection offer salvation. For others, he may be seen as a prophet, a moral teacher, or a myth, depending on their faith or worldview.

So the answer to whether Jesus Christ is real is yes—he is historically real, and for billions, spiritually real as well. The deeper question is not whether he existed, but who you believe he is.

By my calculations, that took 1 minute and 39 seconds. I can barely sign my name in that amount of time.;-)
