The teachings of Jesus

Jesus wanted people to know God better.

When Jesus was preaching a man asked, "Who is my neighbor?" Then Jesus said that he would tell a story about a man who helped another man. The story was called The Good Samaritan. The story taught us to help other people even if we don't like them. It helps us know God better because God wants us to do that.

Jesus preached for three years then some people who didn't follow God crucified him. Jesus died. Three days later he came back to life and we call that day Easter.

Jesus

Durring the Pax Romana (Roman peace) the people in Judea did not like being ruled by the Romans. They prayed and prayed that God would send a messiah to lead them in battle against the Romans. In Nazareth, Mary was told she would have a son named Jesus. Jesus was the messiah who would save people from sin. Some people followed him and some did not.
