JesusChrist



Jesus Christ was the founder of Christianity. He was a Hebrew (Jew) and was born in a town called Bethlehem. Christians believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. He went around telling everyone that he was the Son of God and they all thought he was lying. He would not stop and they still thought he was lying so they killed him. The way they killed Jesus (called crucifixion) was by nailing him to a wooden cross and making him bleed to death. He was nailed for about 3 days so they eventually stabbed him in the ribs so he would bleed more and Jesus died a day after. Christians believe that after he was killed, Jesus' soul went to Heaven, but his body disappeared, but he was dead on Earth, and alive in Heaven.
