Introduction I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins, so that I could live with Him for eternity. Jesus, to me, is the most important thing and I couldn't live life without Him by my side. Jesus is the answer to all the problems and issues of this world. Most of the time Jesus is disrespected or taken for granted. Most people don't realize how He impacts our past, present, and future. Jesus is monumental in history through His life, His teachings, and His character. Birth of Jesus Jesus Christ was born in the city of Bethlehem in Judea. He was born of a virgin, Mary, who conceived Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Before the birth of her son, God sent her an angel saying: “'Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you", Mary was very disturbed by his words and wondered what kind of greeting hers could be. But the angel said to her: "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God." You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High." ” (Luke 1:28-32, NIV). Jesus was born in a stable and was placed in a manger because all the local inns were full. “And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." (Luke 2:7, NIV). His birth was not the most ideal, especially for a king. After His birth, even the lowest shepherd was invited to see Him. There were shepherds who lived in the nearby fields and kept watch over their flocks at night. There appeared to them an angel of the Lord and the glory of the Lord, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, ... in the center of the card ... and I am blessed to call it mine.
