Birth of Jesus
Jesus was born a Jew in Bethlehem in the city of David and his mother Mary was married to Joseph the carpenter of Nazareth. Gabriel the angel told Mary a virgin that Jesus would be born to her by the power of the Lord. Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger as Joseph and Mary were traveling at that time and there was no other place. On the birth of Jesus, an angel appeared in front of the shepherds who were tending to their flock and announced that a Saviour had been born in the city of David.
The Miracles of Jesus Christ

Walking on Water
A few of Jesus disciples went on a boat and were half way across the lake when they saw someone who was walking on the lake coming towards them. They were scared, fearing that it was a ghost but soon they saw that it was Jesus Christ himself and they calmed down.
Calming the storm
Jesus and some of his disciples were crossing the river on a boat when there was huge storm causing the waves to enter the boat and could have resulted in them being drowned. When Jesus saw this, he commanded the wind and waves to stop. Miraculously it stopped leaving the disciples in shock and amazement. The disciples were shocked and wondered how great this man is who can even control the wind and water and the fury of nature.

A crown of thorns was placed on his head, he was struck on the head with a staff, spit on and stripped naked. Crucification is the worst way to die. While he was being crucified the words which Jesus said to God were "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do".
