This man was no ordinary man. He touched lives, touched hearts, gave people hope and joy and love. He did miraculous things, that no one could explain. He changed the rules, he turned heads and made people feel real again.

 

A self-proclaimed prophet, he was condemned by a trial which made a mockery of the justice system and sentenced to death by the most barbaric means the authorities had come up with—crucifixion.
