| He has been called a prophet, a man of God and | | | | The Bible says that Jesus died for all mankind, to |
| to many people all over the world the Son of | | | | cleanse their eternal souls and he gave us |
| God, our Savior, Jesus Christ. If you know the | | | | salvation. His sacrifice, being tortured because of |
| story of Jesus then you know he was born to | | | | our sins, to be crucified on the cross to fulfill our |
| Mary and Joseph of Nazareth in the town of | | | | contrition to God, to His Holy Father, to wipe our |
| Bethlehem. With his father being a carpenter by | | | | souls clean from sin. A fresh new start that's |
| trade, Jesus naturally learned the trade of | | | | what Jesus gave to all mankind, a fresh, no sin |
| carpentry. | | | | start anew. |
| At a young age it is said he went to the local | | | | Wow, I wonder how long after Jesus's death did |
| Jewish Temple and preached with words of | | | | it take the average person to sin again, not a |
| wisdom that awed the holy men of the | | | | really big one but you know, any size, a teeny |
| synagogue. It was on his thirtieth birthday he | | | | tiny one, it doesn't matter, any old sin. |
| ventured out to preach the word of God. He | | | | I wonder with all the wars, the famines, disease |
| spent three years traveling, spreading the word | | | | among other things going on in our world today |
| of God and performing miracles. His message was | | | | like tsunamis, earthquakes etc..., I wonder if Jesus |
| peace, His word was love. His popularity grew and | | | | is getting ready to come back. I'm thinking, what |
| so did the concerns of the elders of the Jewish | | | | would be our response be today of the second |
| Temple, who through their treachery, had Jesus | | | | coming of Christ. Would we embrace this man, |
| arrested, tortured, and crucified and killed on the | | | | this prophet, this Son of God, or would we shun |
| cross. | | | | Him? What would happen? I wonder. |
