Introduction,
Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity, believed by millions of people around the world to be the son of God and the savior of humanity. According to Christian tradition, he was born in Bethlehem, a small town in Judea, around 2,000 years ago. His mother was Mary, a young Jewish woman, and his father was said to be God himself, through the Holy Spirit.
Jesus spent most of his life in Nazareth, a town in Galilee, where he worked as a carpenter before beginning his public ministry around the age of 30. He traveled throughout the region, preaching about God’s love and the coming of a new kingdom. His teachings emphasized love, compassion, forgiveness, and humility, and he performed many miracles, including healing the sick and feeding the hungry.
However, Jesus’ message also challenged the religious and political authorities of his time, and he was eventually arrested, tried, and sentenced to death by crucifixion. According to Christian tradition, he died on a cross outside Jerusalem, but his followers believe that he rose from the dead three days later, and that his resurrection is evidence of his divinity.
Jesus’ life and teachings have had a profound impact on human history, inspiring countless works of art, literature, and music, as well as countless acts of kindness and charity. His legacy as a spiritual leader and moral example remains influential to this day.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.
And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.
So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.
Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command: You must love your neighbor as yourself.
I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
All my authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.
Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Give to everyone who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.
Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart. I have overcome the world.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.
You have said it. And in the future, you will see the son of man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.
God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Come, follow me and I will send you out to fish for people.
If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.
What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the son of man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.
Don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.
It is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven.
