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.

As everybody knows, Jesus was born in Judea when this country was under the oppression of Roman Empire. The Jew society had very similar problems with his people: poorness, gender inequity, prostitution, famine, diseases, slavery, robbery, and murdering, unfair taxation. All of these problems are very real today all over the world, especially in developing countries.
A carpenter ''a free Jew who could afford basic personal needs'' and his mother ''a teenager, very charismatic who showed Jesus all the goodness and beauty of this world'' raised Jesus. His education came from his parents and synagogues. He was highly talented, very intelligent, brave hearted, open minded, cheerful friend, and extremely humble. He never hit anyone, he did not insult anyone, he never lied, he perfectly fulfilled the first century law of the Jewish people, which was very strict in its moral, and ethics content.
Therefore, in this little town, he grew each day in stature, grace, and wisdom in front of God and in front of Men.
Somehow, he discovered he was truly son of God. I am a simple human, weak fleshy nature, my mind cannot grasp all this mystery but I have to believe it or go crazy. How could such a great and marvelous man lie to everybody in this world?
Our world is nonsense, always has been this way. We do not surprise with the horrendous lies, laws, strategies, cheating, political decisions, very odds crimes, humankind self-destruction, that happen day after day. It is a total chaos. We even have created a chaos theory, what a mess.
However, this man Jesus came and changed the world forever. No one is like Jesus. His life is a unique example of the goodness, kindness, liberty, love, happiness, bravery, abundant life, we could achieve. He made wonderful miracles.
I am a physician, I know human nature, I also know that medicine has never even dreamt of what Jesus performed so easily, so instantly, like moving a years paralyzed man, or stopping nature forces with a command, or multiplying bread, transforming water into wine, giving sight to congenital blindness, even resuscitating a 4 days death person.
So, this huge and unmatchable man with his exemplary life and portentous signals when he says, ?I am the son of the Living God? I just have to believe, there is no other way.
The other way would be to deny him, he did not existed, he lied, he was a magician, or others invented his life in order to achieve human glory. Nevertheless, this is a stupid way, if I accept this erroneous way then this crazy and nonsense world has no meaning, no purpose. Truth, Beauty, Liberty, Honesty, Charity, are stupid nonsense human inventions, those who follow this pro-slavery ideas are the most imbecile people. I have nothing to teach to my two children, I have nothing to condemn, hail to war, hail to pedophiles, hail to death.
No, and thousands times NO. I must believe in Jesus, he is son of the living God. I have to ask him to help us to live in a better world, as he said ?thy kingdom came, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven?
Come my sweet and merciful Lord, forgive me for I am an unfaithful, unworthy servant, heal me of my sins, and support me in order to become a faithful husband, a loving father, a worthy pediatrician, and an always thanksgiving man for you have released my life from hell.By: Julio Cesar Neyra Pinto
