I'm glad you're interested in knowing more about Jesus.
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. He then created the first two humans,
Adam and Eve, and placed them in the Garden of Eden. They were allowed to eat or do anything
they wanted within the garden except they weren't allowed to eat the fruit of one tree in the middle of
the garden. God told them that. But the Devil (who was an angel that was cast out of Heaven down to
"below the earth" because he wanted to be like God) came and tempted them one day and they ate the fruit
which brought sin into the world. God hates sin because he is holy. After they ate the fruit they were cast from
the garden. From that moment on every human born after that was born with a sin nature. Sin is anything that the
Bible says is wrong. In other words anything you shouldn't do, but you do, or anything you should do, but don't do.
"For the wages of sin is death" (going to hell-separation from God forever). Things went on with some people believing
in God and others not. God didn't like this so He told the only family that followed him (Noah and his family) to build an
ark and to gather 2 of every animal and put them in the ark along with him and his family and that after that was done a
huge flood would come and destroy everything else, but they would be safe because they were in the ark. After the flood
was over, God made the rainbow as a promise that he will never again flood the earth. After that things went on, but
sin took it's hold again too. God loved us so much and didn't want to see us live a life away from him. He longs so much for
each of us to know Him personally. So 2,000 years ago he sent His son Jesus (Christ, Jesus Christ, Lord, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Messiah, etc.) to show us HIS GREAT LOVE!!! Jesus was born in Bethlehem in a manger by a virgin (Mary).
He was God in human form!! At age 12 he was traveling around and preaching the word of God and at age 33 he did miracles. He came to an earth full of sin (which remember, He hates) because He loves us so much and wanted to get to know us better and understand us. He was just like you and I and went through everything we as humans go through. But he just didn't come to understand, he came to SAVE us from our sin and the tourment of hell. That is why he died for us on the cross. He was mocked, beaten, spat upon, slapped, whipped and crucified on the cross for you and I! He took ALL our sin on Himself so that we could be saved once and for all if we Believe in Him.
After Jesus died on the cross, 3 days later He rose from the grave, just as He said He would. Shortly after that He assended back up into heaven through the clouds, but He didn't leave us, He left His Holy Spirit here for us to guide us. He conqured death!! He is risen and ALIVE today!!
I encourage you to get a Bible (Gods' Word), find a church to go to, and get some Christian friends.
