Jesus explained to kids

Jesus was a man who lived in the Middle East over 2,000 years ago. He is an important figure in Christianity, and Christians believe that he was the son of God. Jesus was born in a town called Bethlehem, and his parents were Mary and Joseph. As a young man, he became a teacher and started preaching about his views on life. Many people liked what he had to say and started following him. The government of the time didn't like Jesus because he was challenging the way things were done. They had him arrested and put on trial. Jesus was found guilty and was crucified, which is a method of execution where the person is nailed to a cross. After Jesus died, his followers believed that he came back to life and ascended into heaven. They believe that he is coming back again one day and that those who have followed him will also be resurrected. Christians try to live their lives according to what they believe Jesus taught. This includes treating others fairly, being generous, and forgiving those who have wronged them.
