What Jesus Means to Me

Since an early age I was taught by my family Jesus christ was the focal point in christianity. He is a man who impacted many people and had to make a lot of sacrifices for them. He was placed on earth to guide us and remind us to believe in and love god. Even though I do not practice christianity, one statement of the bible that I have been told many times before is “ Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find”. Jesus has been known for saying this, meaning that god will give to those who ask for it. One last thing I know about jesus is that he is the child of the virgin mary and joseph, his birth is celebrated annually on december 25 and he was born in bethlehem surrounded by many animals in the manger.

Based on my prior knowledge I can say that I believe what I was taught about Jesus. I find no reason to question facts that have a reasonable source behind it such as the bible. The bible contains a number of various accounts of people who knew god and they tell how he actually Impacted their lives. Many people follow the bible and consider it truthful because of the commonly expressed views that are in the book. On the other hand I have faith in those who taught me this information on Jesus and feel like they have nothing to gain by giving misleading information on such a topic.)

To me Jesus is many things, a higher power,role model and friend. Jesus is the son of god and knows things that a regular man does not know, he enforces rules that we need to follow in order to live life to its fullest and not just survive. He is someone I deeply respect because of the sacrifices he made and the love he gave to people. Another thing I believe jesus is to me is a role model, he was kind, forgiving,respectful,truthful and patient. These are all things I aspire to be in life no matter what obstacles are in the way. Finally Jesus is my friend he can take many forms and teach valuable life lessons. He also wants the best for us and we can
