How my life was changed through Jesus Christ Jesus is the central figure in Christianity. His life and ministry are chronicled in the four gospels in the New Testament. Jesus performed many miracles of healing and deliverance. He called 12 men to follow him and worked closely with them to train and prepare them to carry on the ministry. Jesus Christ was crucified but three days later he resurrected, appeared to his disciples in a span of 40 days. During those 40 days, he appeared to various groups of disciples, proving beyond doubt that he had been raised from the dead by the power of God. The apostle Paul later wrote that Jesus “appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of who are still living” (1 …show more content…
(NIV) After the 40 days Jesus Christ ascended to heaven. Man was separated from God because of sin, but we were reconciled back to God through Jesus Christ sacrifice. The ministry of Jesus began with his baptism. The gospel of Luke 3:23 states that Jesus was about 30 years of age at the start of his ministry (NIV). As I learned of this in the book of Luke, it took me back to the day I was baptized. I was 16 years old and I knew that it was a very important step in my life. I would openly show that I believed in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. As I went underwater I was burying my old life, my old self without God, and as I rose from the water, it was a sign of my new life with God. I believe Jesus set the example for us to get baptized because he himself got baptized. Mark 16:16 states “Anyone who believes me is baptized and will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe me will be condemned”. (NIV) I knew that I would no longer live my life the same way. As I learned of Jesus last days in the New Testament and when I think of what he did for me at the cross it makes me sad because he suffered so much. Jesus being able to call upon angels
