Jesus Christ is known as the founder of the world’s great and biggest religion, Christianity. After his death, due to his followers’ influence, Christianity is now practiced by an enormous amount of people. His chronicle times of life is considered literal, though Jesus himself left no writings evens his date of birth. Jesus is considered to be born on 4 B.C or earlier. He was born six miles away from Jerusalem, the holy city. He was born in a horse stable, because no one would allow Virgin Mary to give birth in their house. At that time, it was considered a crime and a heavy shame for unmarried women to give birth to a child. Mary was engaged to Joseph who was a very poor engineer; an angel was sent to both of them to give god’s message that Mary was receiving god’s child. Jesus had great interest in gods from early days. He was found in a temple praying when Mary and Joseph lost him in a crowded market. Moreover from younger days, people were astonished by Jesus’ unbelievable wisdom. During life Jesus and his followers wandered around the settlement of Gaile, trying to spread god’s teachings and convince people to believe in god. His only life sources were gospels and god’s words. Many people admired Jesus, because he believed in coming judgment of kindness and equability. Also, many miracles attributed by Jesus with his extraordinary powers, which attracted numerous populations. For example he was able to make a fish and a cup of wine abundant for the whole party, and he was known to fix the leprosy patients with his powers. At that time, Israel was controlled by Romans, and as Jesus gained popularity, leaders where unsatisfied. They believed Jesus changed accepted religious practices, because he cured an urgent patient during the Sabbath, which means Saturday in Israel. On Sabbath, you are only allowed to pray. Nevertheless, this was all because Roman leaders were jealous of his power and popularity. They mostly feared that Jesus’ popularity would encourage rebellion against the Roman Empire. Because of the Roman leaders’ jealousy, Roman soldiers finally arrested Jesus after Jesus had his last supper with his followers. Jesus, who expected his death, fasted and prayed for 40 days before, in order to prepare for ministry. As soon as he was arrested, he was delivered to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who washed his hands to show that he was innocent of Jesus’ death blood. Under Roman law Jesus was convicted as political rebel. He was put in mockery by wearing a crown of thorn and a purple robe (because of his claim that he was the king of the Jews.) He carried an enormous wooden cross with him, and walked to Golgotha, the place of execution where he was crucified. To summarize all of this, god’s son Jesus came down to earth to tell us important lessons told by god. His passion for his belief made miracles and contributed to making the religion, Christianity, the most influential religion in the world.
