Obituary, Jerusalem, 33 AD
Jesus Christ, 33, of Nazareth, Galilee, died Friday on Mount Calvary, also known as Golgotha, or a place of a skull. Betrayed by the apostle Judas, Jesus was crucified by Roman soldiers on the executive order of Pontius Pilate at the urging of Jewish leadership. The causes of death were shock and trauma from severe torture, extreme exhaustion, loss of blood and the slow suffocation caused by crucifixion. Jesus could have prevented all of this if He had chose to do so,

by calling the 10,000 angels that were waiting on Him to call them. But,

He went through all of this for each of us, so we could spend eternity with Him,

if we just only repent and call on and follow Him.

Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham, was a member of the house of David. He was the step-son of the late Joseph, a carpenter, who resided in Nazareth with Mary, his devoted mother.But, He was the true Son of God! Jesus was born in a stable in the city of Bethlehem in Judea, and is survived by his mother Mary, faithful apostles, numerous disciples, and countless dedicated followers.
Jesus was self educated and spent most of his adult life working as a teacher and medical practitioner and is reported to have healed many patients. Up until the time of his death, Jesus taught and shared the Good News of the Kingdom of heaven, healed the sick, cured the blind and the terminally ill, twice revived the dead, touched the lonely, fed the hungry, delivered the afflicted and helped the needy. Jesus was most noted for parables he told about his Father’s kingdom and the miracles he performed. Among those were feeding over five thousand people with only five loaves of bread and two fish, and restoring sight to a man who was blind from birth. On the day before his death, he held what was to be his last supper, during the celebration of the feast of Passover, where he foretold his death, but they either didn't want to believe him, or understand. After his death, permission was obtained to quickly remove the body from the cross before sundown. It was then wrapped in linen and laid to rest in a stone sepulcher, donated by Joseph of Arimathea, a close and loyal friend of the family. By order of Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb and Roman soldiers were stationed outside the tomb to guard it.
In lieu of flowers and gifts, the family has requested that you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, live your life as he did and lead the lost to everlasting life through Him. Donations may be sent to those in need.

VERSE 1:

There was a time in my life when I longed for peace of mind

I never pondered sin's price that must be paid

This life sin took its toll in wasted years,

still un-resigned, But on Jesus, at the cross, my sin was laid

CHORUS:

He paid a debt He did not owe,

I owed a debt I could not pay,

I needed someone to wash my sin away

And now I sing that brand new song: Amazing Grace

For Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay

VERSE 2:

And then one day Jesus touched me

And I knew his life divine

Now he leads me down the path that's filled with His love.

No more alone, I'll sing His praise for I feel Him deep inside

Just knowing Jesus is worth more than anything

CHORUS:

He paid a debt He did not owe,

I owed a debt I could not pay,

I needed someone to wash my sin away

And now I sing that brand new song: Amazing Grace

For Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay
