The story of Jesus

Jesus - Prophet
Jesus - Prophet
30 yearsBorn: -3Died: 33From: BethlehemProphet

Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity and one of the most important figures in world history. He was born in Bethlehem in Judea, the son of Mary and Joseph, and was raised in Nazareth. Jesus began His public ministry at the age of 30, traveling throughout Galilee and Judea and preaching about the kingdom of God. He performed many miracles, including healings, feeding thousands of people with a small amount of food, and calming storms, which drew large crowds of people to Him. Jesus' teachings were radical and challenged the religious and political authorities of His day, leading to His arrest and crucifixion by the Roman authorities. However, His followers claimed that He rose from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion, an event that is considered the cornerstone of the Christian faith. After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples and many others, and then ascended into heaven. He promised to return at the end of time to judge the living and the dead, and to establish His kingdom on earth. Jesus' life and teachings have had a profound impact on the world and have shaped the beliefs of billions of people over the past two millennia. He is revered as the Savior and Lord by Christians, who believe that through His death and resurrection, He redeemed humanity from sin and death and made it possible for people to have a right relationship with God. The exact date of Jesus' birth is not specified in the Bible, but it is celebrated by Christians around the world as Christmas. He is believed to have been crucified and resurrected at the age of 33, and His death and resurrection are commemorated as Good Friday and Easter, respectively. The life and teachings of Jesus continue to inspire and challenge people of all cultures and backgrounds, and His influence on the world and its history cannot be overstated.
