Jesus of Nazareth

Even If you are not religious it is quite likely you have heard of the name Jesus. There are many different religions in the world today, and not really surprising Christianity is one of the most being followed since all of the crusades that was done throughout humanity. Most of us in America know about this religion and we know the at least the minimum.

It came as a shock to have found out that what I learned of Jesus in the past was a little wrong. I was taught that Jesus was born within his century (C.E.) but now he was born in 4 B.C.E.? It will be hard to get that down and remember it but I am glad and also confused by this information. However, after reading further ahead in history I began to understand his life and career. I knew that Jesus of Nazareth produced miraculous healings but to find out that he also did exorcisms as well, that is amazing. He began his career as a teacher and healer during the reign of Tiberius, a Roman emperor. He first started out as telling the ways of Christianity and about his god which is all-loving. He taught many things to the people for instance, he taught them the basic meaning of humbleness. His passion brought those who were in need of a religion that they did not have to be afraid. What made a big uproar in the Christian and Roman community was when Jesus was crucified on a cross for blasphemy and later on he was found alive and well, this gave the people of eternally living after death.

Jesus introduced an entirely different ideology to the Roman public. Romans only knew that their gods influenced if they would prosper or not and if they did not pleased their gods, it is a possibility in them being punished by the gods. People wanted to believe in this kind of god because it gave them hope, an all-loving and forgiving god whom cherishes everyone. Jesus gave hope to those people that wished for a sort of paradise. Jesus was so passionate about what he believed in the people wanted to gain the same type of passion.
