Have you ever doubt about, in the movie, those Hollywood heroes or wrongdoers; never be shot, when they dive in the water to escape from chasers.

Water is heavier than air because it is denser. This means that more water molecules are packed into a given volume. The water molecule itself, H2O, is actually less massive than a Nitrogen molecule, N2, which makes up 80% of our air.
 Water is 790 times more viscous, and provides twelve times the resistance. The density of water is approximately 1,000 times greater than air.

A physicist, Andreas Wahl puts himself in front of a weapon submerged in water and fires it - on himself and by himself. He know the theory, but in order to avoid disputing, for what if or in case, he could be shot.
If you were him, will you be brave or willing to do the same, even you know the result will be? Die for someone you love or know, maybe. For someone you don't even know or terrible to you, maybe not.

There is someone, our savior, Jesus Christ, who willing to die for you and me, for our sins.
More than 2 thousand years ago, Mary, Jesus's mother was conception of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, die for our sins and rose from the dead.

The life of Jesus Christ is recorded in 4 gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. 4 accounts, same story by 4 different disciples to 4 different group of people.
By the way, there is a joke about it. A Christian, before he was baptized and become a Christian, when he read about the 4 gospels, he thought Jesus die for four times.

I know you guys probably know the story of Jesus very well, heard it thousands of times.
Today, let’s try a different way to read through the story again, each one of us, image ourselves in Jesus's era, you can image yourself as one of the role in His life.

以行動教導

Jesus baptized by John the Baptist.
Jesus went into the Judean desert to fast and meditate for 40 days and nights, the Devil (撒但) appeared and tempted Jesus three times, turn stone to bread, cast Himself off a mountain where angels would save Him, and offer him all the kingdoms of the world.
Begin ministry (傳道) at age of 30.
Chooses 12 apostles2十二使徒的名:頭一個叫西門,又稱彼得,還有他兄弟安得烈,西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰, 3 腓力和巴多羅買,多馬和稅吏馬太,亞勒腓的兒子雅各,和達太, 4 奮銳黨的西門,還有賣耶穌的加略人猶大。2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Transfiguration Jesus led Peter, James and John the brother of James up a high mountain. There he was transfigured before them. 耶穌帶著彼得、約翰、雅各上山去禱告。
正禱告的時候,他的面貌就改變了,衣服潔白放光

Enters Jerusalem as King of Israel, riding on a donkey.
Eats Passover supper with apostles, Holy Communion 聖餐禮由來。
Peter, before a rooster crowed the next morning, he would have denied knowing Jesus three times. Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver; 

人的型體,人的思慮,人的感受

Jesus asked God"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." He was hit and spat upon for not responding, mocked, beaten, taunting by the soldiers and the crowd,  and condemned for claiming to be the Son of God, Roman soldiers whip and beat Jesus, place a crown of thorns on his head and then led him off to Mount Calvary. 當下耶穌說:父啊!赦免他們;因為他們所做的,他們不曉得。兵丁就拈鬮分他的衣服。
Jesus's agony and outbursts, and his final words"Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" ("My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"). While Jesus was on the cross, the sky darkened, and immediately upon his death, an earthquake erupted, tearing the temple's curtain from top to bottom. A soldier confirmed his death by sticking a spear into his side, which produced only water. He was taken down from the cross and buried in a nearby tomb.
Jesus was crucified with two thieves, one at his left and the other at his right. One of the thief said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” 
23:42 就說:耶穌啊,你得國降臨的時候,求你記念我!43 耶穌對他說:我實在告訴你,今日你要同我在樂園裡了。44 那時約有午正,遍地都黑暗了,直到申初,45 日頭變黑了;殿裡的幔子從當中裂為兩半。46 耶穌大聲喊著說:父啊!我將我的靈魂交在你手裡。說了這話,氣就斷了。

He had risen from the dead and appeared first to Mary Magdalene and then to his mother Mary. 那告訴使徒的就是抹大拉的馬利亞和約亞拿,並雅各的母親馬利亞,還有與他們在一處的婦女。

To the same apostles also, after his suffering, he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs. He was seen by them over a forty-day period and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God. 耶穌受難之後,用很多確據向這些人顯明自己是活著的。他在四十天的時間裡向他們顯現,並且講說有關神國的事。But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts of the earth.”  不過聖靈臨到你們的時候,你們將得著能力,並且要在耶路撒冷,在猶太和撒馬利亞全地,直到地極,做我的見證人。」
