2000 years ago a man named Jesus went around the Middle East telling people a message that would change the course of history. His message announced that a new way of living had arrived, and that through Him, anybody could have eternal life with God, the creator of the universe. 

Jesus is God, and by becoming human, dying and then resurrecting, He removed the road block that was between the goodness of God, and every single human on Earth. The payment that had to be made because of our evil and wrong, was paid by Jesus so that we don't have to. Jesus said that now anybody who believed in Him can receive this free gift of salvation.

Throughout Jesus' life, He also taught people about God and His character, to show humanity what God is really like. His teachings shocked and challenged people, but they brought comfort and peace. Jesus painted a picture of God that is loving, caring, intimate and wanting to be a part of each of our lives. His stories and messages show us today that even amidst a completely different culture, God is still wanting to bring blessing, joy and love into our lives.
