Jesus Christ – An Overview

I believe in Jesus and that he once lived, but I'm not sure if he was the Son of God, people have said he had powers to heal people and to make food appear. If he was a normal person he wouldn't have been able to do this, but when he was alive and when some people were doubting him he should have been able to prove he was the son of God, or maybe god should have proved it as Jesus was supposed to be his Son.

The Gospels mention nothing concerning Jesus from the time he was 12 years old until the time he began his public ministry, about 18 years later. It might have not been important but I still think they should have said something about that time.

When Jesus was alive he treated everyone equal. While Jesus was alive he was in the country where women were treated as the property of their husbands but some of Jesus' friends were women and he treated them as equals.

What Jesus Looked Like

No one knows what Jesus looked like because none of the people who wrote about him said what he looked like, they probably thought it wasn't important. If Jesus existed they should have said what he looked like, because it is quite important. Most people think that Jesus has long hair with a long beard and moustache.

I think Jesus has long hair with a long beard and moustache and always wears white clothes.

Titles Given to Jesus

Jesus was given lots of titles because of what he did and who he was here are some examples of what people called him and why they called him it.

Peace maker:

Jesus was called a peacemaker because he brought peace to the world.

Healer:

Jesus was called a healer because he healed people's pain and made people with illnesses better.

Miracle worker:

Jesus was called a Miracle Worker because he performed miracles when he was alive for example healing people without an operation, by just the touch of his hand. He once fed a crowd of 5,000 men plus women and children with five barley loaves and two fish.

Son of God:

Jesus was called the Son of God because God was his father.

Founder:

Jesus is called the founder because he was the one who founded Christianity.

Teacher:

Jesus was called a teacher because he taught people good things. He told people stories with a moral. He uses stories to get his point across. For example he once told the story of The Good Samaritan, Luke 10:30-35. The message he was trying to get across was that you shouldn't judge people if you don't know them. In the past the Samaritans were the people that the other people hated because they refused to worship god at the temple in Jerusalem. A priest and a Levite walked past but they ignored him even though they are meant to help people.

The Importance of Jesus

The life of Jesus is important because he taught people to help others and be kind he was the founder of Christianity. He taught people to share things and not to judge.

If Jesus never lived then there wouldn't be any Christians or we wouldn't be celebrating Christmas, (even though Jesus was actually born on September the 25th ) or there wouldn't be Easter.
