Jesus

... a human form. God in no way wanted to make Jesus of any reputation of him. Jesus had a fraternal father named Joseph. Joseph raised Jesus for most of his life. Jesus was considered a miracle but what people did not know was how much of an impact he would have on the nation and worldwide. His birth, death and teachings changed our world in a positive aspect. In Jesus' early years he had worked as a carpenter as well as a teacher and others had thought of him as a prophet. He just lived his life like any other normal Jewish individual would.
