Who was this Jesus guy?

Jesus was a radical change maker in the way he thought, spoke and through his actions. He gave people a different way of thinking by creating miracles and making something happen out of nothing. Jesus made lots of miracles, but he was also a Jew. The Jews didn’t believe that he was a Jew though. For this, the Jews crucified him and now millions of Christians around the world believe that because Jesus was crucified, he died for their sins and now “everyone who believes may have eternal life” [Bible, John 3:15]

What did he do

Jesus preached to hundreds of people around his home town, Nazareth. He performed many miracles, but miracles weren't uncommon at the time. One of his most famous miracles was feeding 5,000 people with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. At the end of the afternoon everyone was full and had a satisfying meal. He healed people from leprosy and was a friend to the prostitutes who no one else would talk to. Christians not all over the world believe that they can still talk to him through a form of speech called prayer.

What was the price that he paid?

Jesus paid the ultimate price, like many other radical change makers, death.

Why did he do this?

Christians all over the world believe that Jesus died for their sins and their wrong doing. The romans crucified Jesus because he was a threat to them. As mentioned in the video above, Jesus the son of God could have survived anything, but the human Jesus couldn't survive. Jesus gave hope to so many people when he died, hope of a new life, hope of a life after life. He gave a new sense of life to everyone who believed that he was the real son of God.
