Name: Jesus

Life: He was born 2002 years ago in a town called Bethlehem. His birth place was a stable. His mother was a virgin called Mary and his earthly father was a man called Joseph. Jesus was a son of the Creator of the World (God).

Personality: Jesus was a kind and loving man. He was generous and he also helped the poor. He forgave people who did wrong things.

Achievements: He was a successful carpenter in his early days. He was a very good teacher and preacher about God. He taught us how to live a good life. He loved everybody and treated them all the same. He healed the sick by his own powers.

Why I admire this person: I admire this person because he sacrificed his own life so that we can live today. His love never ends and he is always with us, today and forever. When we are bad and know we have done wrong, he will listen to us if we say sorry; and, when we mean it, he will forgive us.
