I am overly depressed today. Apparently we're going to be doing more Bible reading. I almost screamed for mercy when I heard the news. So now I'm taking down the Gospel the night before its do because I was too lazy to do my assignments throughout last week.
Yippee.
Please just ignore my whining.
Matthew goes back into the past and writes about believe it or not, Jesus. He goes clear back to the city of Bethlehem where Jesus himself was born in the little manger. He then continues telling how the three wise men followed the North Star and gave gifts to the newborn child.
King Herold (aka Herold the Great) soon hears about the baby Jesus and hears that Jesus is to be King of the Jews. Mr. Herold gets dearly upset with the threat and jealousy gains him over. Therefore, he sent orders to have all sons in the forms of babies killed. Knowing this, Jesus and his loving parents escape to Egypt for their son's safety.
After the insane King finally died, Joseph moved his family back to Israel and then to Nazareth where Jesus grows up.
Soon, John the Baptist came along. I'm sure you've all heard of him as he's very popular. He was in fact the very one who baptized Jesus in the Jordan River. Because of the opportunity to be baptised, Jesus recieved the blessing of the Lord.
Later, Voldisatan comes into the story. The one-who-must-not-be-named. Voldisatan decides to test Jesus leads him into the wilderness for forty days with no food nor water.
Guess what?
God's son makes it!
Well, of course he does.
Satan then tempts to drag Jesus down with him, tempting him that all the world could be his. In other words, Satan says, "Come to dark side, I have cookies." Really.
Jesus doesn't fall for it and goes back to telling the people to repent: "Repent! For the kingdom of heaven has come near." (Matthew 4:17)
God's son basically becomes a preacher and one everyone could look up to. He taught the Gospel, healed the sick, raised the dead, and preformed many miracles.
What some people in the olden times didn't realize was that Jesus was himself a miracle.
