In 3 years of prophetic ministry, teaching and preaching the Kingdom of God, Jesus performed miracles and wonders wherever he went. The first miracle of Jesus was at a wedding. According to the passage in the Gospel of John, Jesus turned water into wine.
Jesus performed many other miracles. The Bible records 40 miracles. Among them are the multiplication of loaves and fishes, walking on water, numerous healings of paralytics, blind, and deaf people, and the resurrection of at least three people.
Besides miracles, Jesus taught and preached to the people. Jesus exhorted and explained complex themes through parables. There are a total of 44 parables of Jesus in the New Testament.
The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
With each miracle, Jesus attracted an even larger crowd. This bothered the religious leaders of the time, who began to conspire against his life. Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ disciples, offered to hand over Jesus to the Pharisees in exchange for money (30 pieces of silver).
At the Last Supper, Jesus announced to the disciples that he would be betrayed and killed. Though saddened, but aware of his purpose, he celebrated Passover:
Distressed, Jesus went to the Mount of Olives to pray. In the place called Gethsemane, Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus to the authorities. Right after betraying him, Judas took his own life.
The Resurrection of Jesus
Three days after the crucifixion, Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Some of the women who had followed his ministry and learned from his teachings went to visit his tomb but were surprised by two angels who said that Jesus was no longer there.
The disciples were perplexed by the news, and days later they had the opportunity to see Jesus in the flesh! Jesus continued with the disciples for 40 days until he was taken up to heaven in front of more than 500 followers.
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus gave one last speech, the “Great Commission.” He essentially commanded his followers to spread throughout the world the message he brought, the forgiveness of sins through his death
The Return of Jesus
Jesus Will Return, the Bible records this! The hour and the day no one knows, only the Father. Therefore, it is necessary to remain firm in His Word, because at the appointed time the Shepherd will gather His sheep:
Jesus will come in glory to judge humanity and establish full justice. Those who accepted Jesus will be saved, receive eternal life, and live with Him forever!
