Jesus Christ, 33, of
Nazareth, died Friday on Mount Calvary, also known as Golgotha, the
place of the skull. Betrayed by the apostle, Judas, Jesus was
crucified by the Romans, by order of the Ruler Pontius Pilate.
The causes of death were crucifixion, extreme exhaustion, severe
torture, loss of blood and a broken heart.
Jesus Christ, a descendent of Abraham, was a member of the house of
David. He was the adopted Son of the late Joseph, a carpenter of
Nazareth, and Mary, His devoted natural Mother. Jesus was born in a
stable in the city of Bethlehem, Judea. He is survived by His
mother, Mary, His faithful Apostles, numerous disciples and many
other followers.
Jesus was self-educated and spent most of his adult life working as
a Teacher. Jesus also occasionally worked as a Medical Doctor and it
is reported that he healed many patients. Up until the time of His
death, Jesus was teaching and sharing the Good News, healing the
sick, touching the lonely, feeding the hungry and helping the poor.
Jesus was most noted for telling parables about His Father's Kingdom
and performing miracles, such as feeding over 5,000 people with only
five loaves of bread and two fish, and healing a man who was born
blind. On the day before His death, He held a Last Supper
celebrating the Passover Feast, at which He foretold His death.
The body was quickly buried in a stone grave, which was donated by
Joseph of Arimathea, a loyal friend of the family. By order of
Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb. Roman
soldiers were put on guard.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that everyone try to
live as Jesus did. Donations may be sent to anyone in need.
Important Update:
Correction
- Since the time of the publishing of this obituary, we have had it
confirmed by many persons that Jesus has risen from the dead! He is
alive and well. He has asked that we continue to help others and to
share with them the Good News that Jesus Saves From Sin! |
