Introduction

Many people tried to ask themselves these questions who was Jesus , his role and his mission ? But they could not get answers to them . Some people believed Jesus was the Son of God while others believe he was the son of a carpenter- Joseph . These people could not just understand how a virgin woman could give birth to a baby . The Romans did not understand why he preached about the

word of god who was unknown to them . They opposed his teachings because they thought that they posed a great danger to the future of the Roman Empire . They wondered on what capacity he preached to the multitudes to repent their sins so that they could be heirs to the kingdom of heaven .

But to the rich who were being challenged by this message felt that the teachings were meant to eliminate them . Thus they started opposing and criticizing these teachings . This is what eventually culminated in to his betrayal and finally the crucification

In his message , he greatly criticized and attacked some behaviour which were being practiced by some religious fellows . At one time he complained of people having

made the temple of the lord a market place and he was forced or he felt much obliged to whip them out of the church . Those who benefited from those immoral activities felt that Jesus and his mission were against them so , they resulted to open hostility against him and his teachings as well as all his followers

Because of the failure of the roman leaders to understand the character of Jesus Christ and his role in the world , the Roman governor -Pilate was easily convinced that Jesus who claimed to be the son of God...
