Lord Jesus Christ:

Jesus Christ was born circa 6 B.C. in Bethlehem. Jesus Christ is the incarnation of God. His teachings are full of divine which followed as an example for living a spiritual life. He is the angle of heaven, coming to the world to serve people.

Jesus' Early Life:

Jesus' life story is told through The Four Gospels Of The New Testament Bible. It is known as the Canonical gospels which 

 written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. 

They are written to engender faith in Jesus as the Messiah.

Jesus Christ the incarnation of God who came to teach, suffer and die for people’s sins. He is the embadment of Love and example of Peace. 

Jesus's Mother Mary, was a virgin. She betrothed to Joseph, a carpenter. Christians believe Jesus was born through Immaculate Conception. His lineage can be traced back to the house of David. 

 The Gospel of Matthew (2:1)

According to him, Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great, who upon hearing of his birth felt threatened and tried to kill Jesus by ordering all of Bethlehem’s male children under age two to be killed. But Joseph was warned by an angel and took Mary and the child to Egypt until Herod’s death, where upon he brought the family back and settled in the town of Nazareth, in Galilee.

The Gospel of Luke (2:41-52):

 He recounts that a 12-year-old Jesus had accompanied his parents on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and became separated. He was found several days later in a temple, discussing affairs with some of Jerusalem’s elders. Throughout the New Testament, there are trace references of Jesus working as a carpenter while a young adult. It is believed that he began his ministry at age 30 when he was baptized by John the Baptist, who upon seeing Jesus, declared him the Son of God.

After baptism, Jesus went into the Judean desert to fast and meditate for 40 days and nights. The Temptation of Christ is chronicled in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke (known as the Synoptic Gospels). The Devil appeared and tempted Jesus three times, once to turn stone to bread, once to cast himself off a mountain where angels would save him, and once to offer him all the kingdoms of the world. All three times, Jesus rejected the Devil's temptation and sent him off.

The Last Supper:

Art by Leonardo da Vinci

Jesus and his 12 disciples met for the Passover meal, at that time he gave them his final words of faith. He also foretold of his betrayal by one of the disciples and privately let Judas know it was he. Jesus told Peter that before a rooster crowed the next morning, he would have denied knowing Jesus three times. 

At the end of the meal, Jesus instituted the Eucharist, which in the Christian religion, signifies the covenant between God and humans.

After the Last Supper, Jesus and his disciples went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. Jesus asked God if this cup (his suffering and death) might pass by him. He implored a group of his disciples to pray with him, but they kept falling asleep. Then the time had come. Soldiers and officials appeared, and Judas was with them. He gave Jesus a kiss on the cheek to identify him and the soldiers arrested Jesus. One disciple tried to resist the arrest, brandished his sword and cut the ear off one of the soldiers. But Jesus admonished him and healed the soldier's wound.

After his arrest, many of the disciples went into hiding. Jesus was taken to the high priest and interrogated. He was hit and spat upon for not responding. Meanwhile, Peter had followed Jesus to the high priests' court. As he hid in the shadows, three house servants asked if he was one of Jesus' disciples and each time he denied it. After each denial, a rooster crowed. Then Jesus was led out of the house. He looked directly at Peter. Peter remembered how Jesus had told him. He would deny him and wept bitterly. Judas was watching from a distance. He became distraught by his betrayal of Jesus and attempted to return the 30 pieces of silver. The priests told him that guilt was his own. He threw the coins into the temple and later hanged himself.
