Matthew 1-12

This is the part of Jesus’s story which every catholic is taught ever since we were little children. I practically have it memorized for the countless times my family interpreted it for me. It always has been an amusing tale, and if you see it in a Catholic’s point of view, there really isn’t anything wrong, but in this class, we were supposed to read the bible with no religious influence. After this concept, I came to think how exactly I would react to Jesus Christ If I lived in his time period. First of all, this guy, who is practically young enough to still be considered a boy, comes into everyone’s lives preaching that he is the son of God. I don’t think killing him was the correct way to respond to this but I would find it a bit strange. He then tries proving it with a bunch of unbelievable miracles. It’s as if Jesus Christ was the Chris Angel form those days, many would have believed he was carzy, but there would still be a few who would see him as a God.

If there were anything he did that would make me believe that he was the son of God, it would have been sermons, where he talked about love, obedience and humility. I have tendency of always believing in these spiritual lessons, and Christ’s messages would have probably driven me to believing in him.
