About Jesus Christ.

From a small village in Galilee came a teacher who would reshape human history. Jesus of Nazareth worked with his hands as a carpenter until around age thirty, when he left home to wander the countryside, teaching in synagogues, healing the sick, and gathering an unlikely band of fishermen, tax collectors, and outcasts. He taught in parables, vivid stories that subverted expectations: a hated Samaritan becomes the hero, a prodigal son is welcomed home, the last workers receive the same wage as the first. His message was radical: love your enemies, forgive seventy times seven, the kingdom of God belongs to the poor and the peacemakers. He ate with sinners, touched lepers, and challenged religious authorities who burdened ordinary people with rules they couldn't keep. Within three years, he was executed by Roman crucifixion at the instigation of threatened authorities. His followers claimed he rose from the dead.
