If there is one thing that is easy to see when reading the books describing the life of Jesus the anointed, it is that he had disciples. In the beginning they are many. Then they decrease until only twelve remain at the most difficult moment for him—the cross. But afterward they increase again and become thousands, and today there are millions of people who say they are disciples of Jesus, his followers, people obedient to his teachings and commandments. That was the easy part. What is left is to explain the meaning of the above paragraph.
The first thing that needs to be discussed is why should anyone be concerned about this issue at all? What exactly does a story, however beautiful, that happened two thousand years ago concern any of us? And even if someone cares, what does this have to do with me personally? Without the answer to these questions, there is no answer to the others.
The Bible is the greatest book, not because I say so, but because it is the book that promises things that are fulfilled over thousands of years. And whatever is promised inside, it certainly comes to pass. Sometimes the promises are wonderful, but sometimes they are very strict; but they are always fulfilled. This is especially important when dealing with the serious questions of life and death, eternal life, eternal punishment for crimes, and the way of salvation. A person most often thinks about these questions when he is young, before life has "fallen" on him with full force. After that, people usually "don't have time" for religion, to think about whether there is a god or not, who the god is, whether he has a son, what if he has a son, and the various similar questions. And to think about the issues of discipleship or following this person, most people don’t consider such a question more than to draw the conclusion "I don't care", "I'm not religious", "I don't believe in these things", etc. It is every person's right to decide what he thinks, but it would be wonderful to pay attention today and now, because tomorrow belongs to no one, and no one is insured for his future here on earth.
The next main aspect is that this man, Jesus, has a teaching that is so humane that there is no way—unless one is a bloodthirsty barbarian—not to rejoice in it. And if one is a barbarian who likes violence, he can think about changing before it's too late or before someone more barbaric than him overwhelms him and beats him to hell (e.g. the covid-virus).
But if someone doesn't want to think, that's their right.
Therefore, I will continue only for those who fear for their souls and want to reach eternity with the joy of their salvation, and not with the fear of possible punishment forever.
There is such a topic on our site, which deals with the given question in relative detail, but can be summarized as follows: From a human point of view, when he appears to the "audience", he is about thirty years old, a Jew—that is, an Israelite from the tribe of Judah—a carpenter, with a carpenter "father", with four younger brothers, and a mother who claims that her son was miraculously born, without a man, by god. That would make one think. Shortly before he began to speak his teaching and do the works that no one else had ever done, another man began to speak to all the people of Israel that one is coming who would bear the iniquities of the world upon himself—meaning, that if a man follows him, his crimes will be forgiven. People listen to him and come to him, even asking him if by any chance he is the savior? He denies. Last of all the people comes Jesus himself, and John testifies about him that this is the lamb of God. If anyone has read the Old Covenant between the god and Israel, they know that lambs are the constant sacrifices for the sins of the people. They, the innocent, suffer death for some man's crime, and that man walks away exonerated, at least in a sense. For it is known from the scriptures that the blood of animals cannot forgive crimes. Even if to the ears of a modern atheist this sounds archaic and inadequate to "modern times", we must be aware that there is no modern time, such concept does not exist. Just because we have calculators that can calculate fast enough to transmit a video signal means absolutely nothing. Nothing. Man is the same criminal, even more so, because he invents ever newer methods to kill on a daily basis, and the rest to benefit from the killings of the military.
So, those ancient people found in this thirty-year-old former carpenter, something much more than a carpenter. Let me just note for a moment that he has actual royal ancestry in the line of King David, Israel's most revered king of all time. And after he began to perform wondrous miracles, which have not ceased to this day, he could have had a wonderful royal career, perhaps subject to Rome, perhaps not. Not only does Jesus never go that way, but it is clearly described that when they try to make him king, he turns away and leaves. We are dealing with a man who is absolutely committed to his dedication to fulfill—as he calls it—his father's will.
This is another complicated case to explain. Why would any father want to make his son suffer so badly, what would be the reason for such suffering, and why did this son consent to it? Don't forget that the followers of Jesus had to have an answer to these questions.
And the answer is not hidden from us but has a clear answer—the love of both for humanity. It is this love that leads the son of the god—the word of the god—to come down from the sky to carry out his father's will. This same love is that leads the father—the god—to send his son for us. And it is this love that makes him suffer for us, and it is written that he was looking at the future prize, which is all of us who love him and obey him now, to live with him in his kingdom forever.
