Fun Facts about Jesus:

1. Jesus last name wasn’t Christ: We hear “Jesus Christ” so often that it’s easy to think that Christ is Jesus’ surname. It’s not. In first-century Palestine, people didn’t have last names. Christ comes from the Greek for Christos, which means “anointed one.”
2. Jesus was not an only child. It might be hard to imagine what it was like to be Jesus’ little brother or sister, but Mary and Joseph had other children after Jesus’ miraculous birth
3. At the age of 12 years, Jesus went missing while traveling with His family. Jesus and his family had traveled to Jerusalem for Passover and afterwards the family left Jesus behind. It took his family a day to realize he was missing and after a few days, they found him teaching in the temple. Scary losing the Son of God!
4. Jesus wasn’t white. Paintings show Jesus as a tall, white, Scandinavian guy with a beard, Jesus was actually of Jewish descent and would have been a guy with dark skin and shaggy dark hair. Therefore, his appearance may have been drastically different than what we often imagine
5. Jesus had humble beginnings. Born into a carpenter’s family, Jesus came from a poor, day-laborer home. This means Jesus would have known what it was like to live in poverty and have hunger and need
6. Jesus started his ministry later in life, around the age of 30 years. He actually went through normal experiences growing up as a baby, small child, teenager, and young adult
7. Women helped fund Jesus’ ministry. Jesus had an incredible respect for women and even helped a woman who was about to be stoned to death. Not only did Jesus show us how to treat women, but women actually helped fund his ministry. Luke 8 talks about women who followed Jesus and his disciples and supported them through their own means
8. Jesus came to Earth to experience life as a human and empathize with us. He experienced heartache, rejection, deception, loss, sickness, and death, just like us.
