in the history of mankind, there are many outstanding individuals whose actions have led to global developments.Some of them - Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Joseph Stalin, Jesus Christ ... The last name, and today remains a subject for heated debate.Some consider him an impostor, the other - an outstanding personality, and some see him as a person, or even the divine nature of God himself.So, what was this man?And if he existed at all as a real historical figure?
First, consider the way in which the story of Jesus Christ is treated in the Bible itself, since it is the main source from which you can learn about it the right information.So he is a direct descendant of King David, once the monarch of Israel.The tyrant of Judea, Herod, having learned from some reliable sources about the birth of a man who, according to ancient prophecy, destined to become king of Israel, to preserve their power and authority of his descendants decided to kill Jesus.To do this, it gives the order to kill all newborn babies in the town where Christ was to be born.But his parents know of the impending catastrophe, and escape from the country.Returns home after the death of Herod.Growing up, Jesus mastered the craft of his father, it is a good carpenter, and this makes his living.He grew very capable, quickly absorbs knowledge, interested in the religion of his people and in 12 years, during the arrival of his family in Jerusalem, led a discussion with the representatives of the clergy.
Life of Jesus Christ becomes very busy from the moment when he was baptized by a popular preacher among the people by John the Baptist.From this moment begins his missionary and educational activities.He finds his first twelve disciples, who become his main followers, they transmit some of their abilities.He performed many miracles, healing seriously ill and even raise the dead.Preaching a new doctrine, the number of its followers is growing rapidly.Realizing that his work - is a threat to their authority, the religious leaders make a conspiracy against him.Protege of Roman emperor in the West, which was then part of the Roman Empire, Pontius Pilate tries to justify this man, but the Jewish clergy exerts a lot of pressure.Then, yielding to blackmail and wanting to prevent a possible rebellion, he agrees to the execution of the Messiah.Jesus, exhausted by torture, crucifixion (or, according to some other sources - on a normal column without crossbar).His body lay in the tomb for three days and then disappeared.According to the Bible, the life of Jesus Christ has been given for the redemption of human sins.After his death, he appeared several times to his disciples.
So, we briefly considered the life of Jesus Christ, based on biblical sources.Now it is worth mentioning the possible testimony of the reality of the existence of the Messiah, direct and indirect.Ancient papyrus fragment of the text of the New Testament is dated about 125-150 years.ad.Also found were "Qumran scrolls" with evangelical text.This archaeological find has dismisses speculation of the late writing of the New Testament.The method of execution of Christ historically authentic, which is confirmed by the findings of the remains of the executed.Pontius Pilate, who was forced to agree to the murder of the Redeemer, not a mythical character and a real person.His name remained on the wall of the Roman theater, discovered during excavations in Caesarea.He was named prefect (rather than the procurator, as his successor) - this is the position, and is mentioned in the Gospels of the Apostles.In the "Antiquities" of Josephus can find a passage that describes Jesus as the "wise man, leading a virtuous life" and is also partially supported by what was written in the Gospel.Elsewhere this same work is a description of the execution of James, a relative of Jesus.In addition, in the writings of authoritative scholars of Roman - Suetonius, Pliny and Tacitus - also referred to this person, along with a description of the activities of his first followers and persecution directed against them by the Roman emperors.
So biography of Jesus Christ is a partial confirmation of some historical sources.His teachings are based on obedience to God and love for people.To this day, many tens of millions of people believe the life of Jesus Christ as a model for imitation.
