About the life of Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ (also called Christ the king and Jesus the Christ) was born in Israel 2000 years ago. Modern civilization marks his birth by dividing time B.C. (before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini - or the year of our Lord Jesus Christ). For his first thirty years, Jesus Christ lived a traditional Jewish life, working as a carpenter. During this time, all of Israel was under Caesar's Roman dictatorship, including Bethlehem, where Jesus Christ was born, and Nazareth, where he was raised. In his thirties, Jesus Christ began his public teaching and display of recorded miracles, yet still never travelled more than 200 miles from his birthplace. Over a three year period, despite his efforts to keep a low profile, Jesus Christ's reputation spread nation wide. The Roman governors and rulers of Israel's provinces and the leaders of the Jewish people (the religious counsels) took note of him. Jesus Christ's key messages included: Jesus Christ's most controversial act was that he repeatedly claimed to be God, which was a direct violation of the Jewish law. Therefore the religious leaders asked the Roman government to execute him. In each of several official trials, the Romans found that he was not guilty of breaking any Roman law. Even the Jewish leaders recognized that other than Jesus Christ's claim to be God, Jesus Christ followed the Jewish law perfectly. Still the religious leaders, using the argument of political disfavor, persuaded Pilate, a Roman governor of the Southern province of Israel, to authorize an execution. Jesus Christ was brutally tortured and then hung by his hands, which were nailed to a horizontal wooden beam (cross). This method of execution restricted the airflow to his lungs, killing him in three hours. However, according to more than 500 witnesses, Jesus Christ returned from the dead three days later, and over the next 40 days journeyed in both the southern and northern provinces of Israel. To many, this was conclusive proof that Jesus Christ's claims to be God were real. Then Jesus Christ returned to Jerusalem, the city where he was recently executed, and according to witnesses, he left the earth alive by rising up into the sky. As a result of these miraculous events, the number of his followers increased dramatically. Only a few months later in that same city of Jerusalem one record states that some 3000 new followers were added in a single day. The religious leaders responded by trying to stomp out Jesus Christ's followers. Many of these people chose to die rather than deny their belief that their Lord Jesus Christ was truly God. Within 100 years, people throughout the Roman empire (Asia Minor, Europe) became followers of Jesus Christ. In 325 AD, the following of Jesus Christ, Christianity, became the official religion of the Roman Emperor Constantine. Within 500 years, even Greece's temples of Greek gods were transformed into churches for followers of Jesus Christ. Although some of Jesus Christ's messages and teachings were diluted or miscommunicated through the expansion of a religious institution, Jesus Christ's original words and life still speak loudly for themselves.

Oh! Creator who made heaven and Earth. We your humble servants have always carried you in our hearts. We always knew you had a son. But we didn't call him Jesus Christ, We call him Tuhubchecheen ( Child of the water ) For he was born of the water of his mother's womb. He baptised with with the sacred water, that gives life to the soul. He was a simple carpenter and drank the sacred liquid when his work was done. He brought fish from the waters were none. And like a drop of water on an arid land Brings life, happiness and peace upon this Mother Earth. The people denied you water as you suffered your final resign Your father in heaven bathed you in water when your holy mission on earth was done. I as an Indian have sought your wisdom and you have spoken to me. I asked and you answered. I wished and you have given. I have one more wish before I cross the river of no return. I have a terminal cancer, and I say bring that love peace and warmth to this world again. Nilchinaa (Whispering Wind just passing by) For peace to come we must not think of I and me we must think of us and we. Jesus has spoken, Aho (Amen) By: Gilberto Telles
