I found out about the life of Jesus quite late in my life.
The life of another man was the reason I started to wonder about who Jesus really was and why has the story about him changed the lives of so many.
To make a long story short over the years I tried to look at Jesus' life as a friend. I am not a typical religious person fascinated with churches and institutions and try to look at life as a series of events that I am made aware of.
So a guy lived a long time ago trying to make sense of life. For some reason contrary to me he prayed a lot and searched for answers not only by observing the visible and tangible.
Don't know how he came to the conclusion that whoever created the universe was his father but he was convinced that he was everyone else's father as well.
He was so convinced of this and thought that everyone misses a lot by not recognizing their father that went around and told people of what he had found.
Even when people did not believe or like what he said he did not give up his conviction but was willing to die so that anyone who believed in him will find "eternal life".
I find this story very fascinating because Jesus seems to be a very simple man with simple and pure heart.
I don't have many people I consider very precious and worth sacrificing for. There are even less that I would consider worth dying for. And here stands a man with such a strong conviction that is willing to dye for all who might believe through his example.
I am humbled and grateful that the world has seen such a person and we can read about his life, love and example.
