    The Basic Things You Need to Know About Jesus - Lars B. Dunberg

    Introduction

    Many years ago, someone penned these words about Jesus.

    "Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty. Then for three years he was an itinerant preacher.

    He never owned a home. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put his foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place he was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but himself.

    While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied him. He was turned over to his enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. While he was dying his executioners gambled for the only piece of property he had on earth – his coat. When he was dead, he was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.

    Nineteen long centuries have come and gone, and today he is a centerpiece of the human race and leader of the column of progress.

    I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built; all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that one solitary life."

    Jesus is a historic person

    Jesus did not arrive unexpected. The prophets in the Bible had predicted that a person would come who would save the world. They predicted where he would be born. They had foretold how he was going to be born. They had prophesied about the life he would live and even what would happen at his death. Nobody had so far fulfilled any of these predictions. But when the time was right, Jesus was born into this world, a real person of flesh and blood.

    Where did it happen?

    Jesus was born in a small occupied country, called Palestine, made up of Galilee, Samaria and Judea. It is not more
