Christianity in Pax Romana

Most of what we know about Jesus' life came from the 4 Gospels. Jesus was a Jewish teacher and was not widely known except for people who heard him speak and were moved by his words. Jesus said we must strive to be perfect for God, but we cannot be perfect and that God shall forgive us if we try hard and are on the right track. People in Rome were getting their land taken away and could not find jobs because there where so many slaves. Jesus hung out with prostitutes and tax collecters, people that society didn't like, but Jesus said that they were worth something. Jesus gave these people rights and respect. Jesus' people believed that he was the true "Messiah" who came to bring the worthy into the kingdom of heaven. Jesus was killed for claiming he was the Messiah and rose 3 days later. Paul spreaded the word of Jesus after he was knocked off his donkey and Jesus told him to stop persicuting his people and became blind. When Paul agreed to stop, Pauls sight was restored and Paul became a follower of Jesus.
