History of Jesus Christ.
Some dismiss him as a liar or even a madman. Millions hail him as Savior and Lord. Whatever people think of him, nobody can deny that he stands at the very crux of human history. Hundred of years before he was born, the bible predicted his life and death. His birth split time in half. Buried, and rose from the dead on the third day, this man is the only human in history to influence and inspire more lives, than many of the leaders who came before and after him. The best selling book in the world is written about his life and his teachings. There is so much historical and archeological evidence to support his existence that every reputable historian agrees he was not just a legend. If he were a liar, why would he die for his claim, when he could easily have avoided such a cruel death with a few choice words? And, if he were a lunatic, how did he engage in intelligent debates with his opponents or handle the stress of his betrayal and crucifixion while continuing to show a deep love for his antagonists? He said he was Lord and God. The evidence supports that claim. Who is this man you ask? His name is Jesus Christ.
Throughout history, the influence Jesus had on the lives of people has never been surpassed. No other great leader has inspired so many positive changes in the lives of his followers. People who encounter the risen Christ are totally transformed. Their outlook on life is altered forever. Staying true to their faith, they do not hesitate to face hardship, persecution and even death. Many consecrate their lives to serving others, minimizing their own needs and desires. .
"The biblical record of his life shows that Jesus was born in Bethlehem to a virgin named Mary. His father was a Jewish carpenter."(Biblehisory.net) Mark 6:3 says "Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?" The bible tells us he had sisters and four brothers.
