Jesus Christ was a religious leader and the founder of Christianity. He proclaimed in various stages of his life that he was the Messenger of God, that he was the Son of God, and finally – that he and the Father were one. Jesus took human birth to arouse in all people the awareness of their inner divinity. His main teachings were to spread love for god and other fellow men.
Swami said that Jesus taught simple, practical lessons and supported it through his own example of compassion and love, demonstrating how we can cultivate these divine qualities. Jesus served the poorest of the poor and taught His followers that whenever we serve the needs of the poor, the needy, the hungry and the diseased, we are serving God. He also preached about the greatness of divine love.
Stories of Jesus’ birth, and other stories can be narrated by the teacher in class. They can be covered as a part of the syllabus during Christmas time and can be planned along with other Christmas activities.
