Linea temporale

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    I spent a month studying Christianity as part of a challenge to understand the world's major religions. Christianity, the largest religion with 2.5 billion followers, is divided into numerous denominations due to cultural differences. Despite these divisions, all Christians unite in their belief in Jesus Christ as the foundation of their faith. Jesus is considered the son of God, and his life, from Nazareth to Jerusalem, left a profound impact on humanity, marking the basis for the Christian calendar. Two key lessons from Jesus are emphasized: love and forgiveness, highlighting their integral role in the Christian faith.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:11:14

    In Christianity, love is seen as unconditional ('Agape'), illustrated by Jesus washing his disciples' feet. This act signifies humility over pride, and the Christian tradition of popes kissing followers' feet follows this example. Jesus' crucifixion is an ultimate act of love and sacrifice, motivating Christians to emulate this behavior. Forgiveness is another pillar; Jesus advised endless forgiveness, liberating oneself from anger and bitterness. His teachings suggest forgiveness and love create strength and unity, transcending religious boundaries, beneficial for all humanity. The study of Christianity was enriching, offering valuable life lessons in love and forgiveness.

  • 00:00:04
    religion Christianity hello and praise
  • 00:00:07
    the Lord for one month I read Christian
  • 00:00:10
    books I spoke to Christian Bishops and
  • 00:00:13
    flew all the way to Israel and Palestine
  • 00:00:16
    to see all the places where Jesus Christ
  • 00:00:20
    lived in Bethlehem Jerusalem Nazareth
  • 00:00:23
    and even here at the Sea of Galilee just
  • 00:00:27
    to understand Christianity and for the
  • 00:00:30
    first time in my life I am willing to
  • 00:00:34
    kiss the feet of another human but first
  • 00:00:38
    some background I am on a six-month
  • 00:00:41
    challenge to study the top six religions
  • 00:00:44
    Buddhism Hinduism Judaism Christianity
  • 00:00:47
    Islam and even
  • 00:00:49
    atheism this is what I learned from
  • 00:00:52
    Christianity wow that's powerful that's
  • 00:00:58
    incredible PR the Lord
  • 00:01:02
    Christianity is the biggest religion in
  • 00:01:05
    the world it has 2 and a half billion
  • 00:01:08
    followers onethird of the world but here
  • 00:01:11
    is the issue 2 and2 billion Christians
  • 00:01:15
    do not agree on everything Christianity
  • 00:01:18
    is divided into
  • 00:01:21
    45,000 groups are you ready for this
  • 00:01:24
    Roman Catholic Eastern Orthodox
  • 00:01:26
    Protestant Pentecostal Evangelical Lu
  • 00:01:29
    Lutheran Mormon Quaker and so many
  • 00:01:33
    others each group believes in a slightly
  • 00:01:36
    different version of
  • 00:01:39
    Christianity why is there different uh
  • 00:01:41
    denominations and and disagreements and
  • 00:01:44
    and divisions that's just Humanity
  • 00:01:48
    cultural differences end up impacting
  • 00:01:50
    our understanding of what Christianity
  • 00:01:54
    is see that ladder right behind me it's
  • 00:01:58
    at the place where Jesus died on the
  • 00:02:00
    cross and that ladder is not allowed to
  • 00:02:04
    move even by one inch do you know why
  • 00:02:09
    because different Christian groups could
  • 00:02:11
    not agree on where to move it so the
  • 00:02:15
    ladder stayed here immovable for 300
  • 00:02:19
    years six Christian denominations own
  • 00:02:23
    the Church of the Holy sub six and they
  • 00:02:25
    have agreed that there'd be no repair no
  • 00:02:28
    moving or anything unless all six agree
  • 00:02:31
    and they haven't agreed it's been
  • 00:02:33
    hundreds of years they still haven't
  • 00:02:34
    agreed and this is the issue of
  • 00:02:36
    Christian
  • 00:02:39
    denomination but there is one thing that
  • 00:02:42
    every single Christian agrees on it
  • 00:02:45
    unites all two billion of them it's the
  • 00:02:49
    foundation of the religion and that is
  • 00:02:53
    the person of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ
  • 00:02:58
    Jesus Christ
  • 00:03:00
    he is the gift that God gave to humanity
  • 00:03:05
    according to Christians Jesus is the son
  • 00:03:08
    of God who came to Earth to forgive sins
  • 00:03:12
    give life teach the truth and rise from
  • 00:03:16
    the
  • 00:03:18
    dead to be a Christian simply means you
  • 00:03:22
    believe in Jesus Christ he started
  • 00:03:25
    Christianity and changed the world in
  • 00:03:28
    fact the year 20 24 is based on when
  • 00:03:32
    Jesus was born that's how much he
  • 00:03:35
    changed the world so I followed the life
  • 00:03:39
    of Jesus Christ from Nazareth where he
  • 00:03:43
    lived to kaer now where he preached to
  • 00:03:46
    Jerusalem where he died and Rose this is
  • 00:03:50
    the tomb where Jesus Christ died and
  • 00:03:53
    resurrected 3 days after this is it to
  • 00:03:57
    the upper room where he had had his last
  • 00:04:01
    supper oh my God the last supper was
  • 00:04:05
    actually here and here at the Tomb of
  • 00:04:09
    Jesus I learned two important lessons
  • 00:04:13
    from him first I learned how to love and
  • 00:04:18
    by love I mean true love true love true
  • 00:04:22
    love to be a good Christian you must
  • 00:04:26
    love yourself your neighbor your friend
  • 00:04:29
    and even your enemy equally there are
  • 00:04:32
    different kinds of Love there is a
  • 00:04:34
    romantic love there's a love that two
  • 00:04:36
    friends have but then there's also
  • 00:04:38
    something called God's love and that's
  • 00:04:40
    the message of the Cross that's the
  • 00:04:42
    message of Christ that's the message of
  • 00:04:44
    Christianity that God loves you
  • 00:04:50
    unconditionally on this exact spot near
  • 00:04:53
    the Sea of Galilee Jesus Christ said
  • 00:04:57
    love the Lord your God with all all your
  • 00:05:00
    heart and with all your soul and with
  • 00:05:03
    all your mind love is the first and
  • 00:05:07
    greatest commandment in Christianity I
  • 00:05:10
    learned yesterday that there is actually
  • 00:05:12
    a word for love in Christianity it's
  • 00:05:15
    Agape it's God's
  • 00:05:17
    love Next Level love it's an
  • 00:05:20
    unconditional love love is so powerful
  • 00:05:23
    in Christianity that in this room where
  • 00:05:26
    the Last Supper happened Jesus kneel
  • 00:05:30
    down to wash the feet of his followers
  • 00:05:34
    as a sign of love you know the opposite
  • 00:05:38
    of
  • 00:05:39
    humility is pride and pride says I'm
  • 00:05:43
    better than you Pride says I don't need
  • 00:05:45
    you humility says I will humble myself
  • 00:05:49
    and take the lower Point that's why
  • 00:05:52
    today 2,00 years later the pope himself
  • 00:05:56
    kisses the feet of followers and even
  • 00:05:59
    even prisoners to express love and
  • 00:06:04
    humility in Christianity kissing the
  • 00:06:08
    feet of others is not a sign of
  • 00:06:11
    humiliation it's a sign of humility and
  • 00:06:15
    love Jesus Christ loved Humanity so much
  • 00:06:19
    that he died for it in this spot at age
  • 00:06:24
    33 Jesus was crucified on the cross
  • 00:06:32
    this act of Love Inspired billions of
  • 00:06:35
    Christians to love each other just like
  • 00:06:39
    Jesus loved them yes of course love is a
  • 00:06:41
    feeling but love is a decision that you
  • 00:06:44
    have to make Jesus himself who is the
  • 00:06:47
    centrality of Christianity he made a
  • 00:06:50
    decision to sacrifice his life for the
  • 00:06:54
    sins of the entire
  • 00:06:58
    world the second second thing I learned
  • 00:07:00
    from Jesus Christ is even more powerful
  • 00:07:04
    it's
  • 00:07:06
    forgiveness Jesus famously said here at
  • 00:07:10
    the top of the mountain if anyone slaps
  • 00:07:13
    you on the right cheek turn to them the
  • 00:07:16
    other cheek also because an eye for an
  • 00:07:20
    eye and the world goes blind that's why
  • 00:07:24
    forgiveness is important when you don't
  • 00:07:28
    forgive and you you hang on to anger
  • 00:07:31
    what it does it creates something inside
  • 00:07:34
    of you it's almost like a poison but
  • 00:07:37
    once you forgive you are freed you are
  • 00:07:40
    freed inside from this anger and this
  • 00:07:44
    bitterness that you have toward this
  • 00:07:45
    person and instead you can operate in a
  • 00:07:49
    place of love and freedom and in
  • 00:07:51
    Christianity there is no limit to how
  • 00:07:55
    much you can forgive Jesus taught his
  • 00:07:58
    followers to forgive
  • 00:08:00
    not just once or twice but 70 times per
  • 00:08:05
    day Jesus came back and said forgive
  • 00:08:07
    them 70 * 7 in a day now math says
  • 00:08:12
    that's 490 times as someone violates you
  • 00:08:15
    as long as someone does something wrong
  • 00:08:17
    you must continue to forgive in other
  • 00:08:20
    words forgiveness is a
  • 00:08:27
    lifestyle on this Road here in Jerusalem
  • 00:08:31
    jesus carried his cross towards his
  • 00:08:35
    death and on the cross Jesus forgave his
  • 00:08:39
    Killers father forgive them for they do
  • 00:08:42
    not know what they are doing forgiveness
  • 00:08:47
    is so
  • 00:08:48
    powerful because it frees us to love how
  • 00:08:53
    difficult it is to love how difficult it
  • 00:08:54
    is to forgive is not the point the point
  • 00:08:57
    is do it I think it's it's Nike that
  • 00:09:00
    said just do
  • 00:09:01
    it if forgiveness was understood and
  • 00:09:06
    practiced the war would end today not
  • 00:09:13
    tomorrow two billion Christians cannot
  • 00:09:16
    agree on where to move this ladder but
  • 00:09:20
    they all agree that love and forgiveness
  • 00:09:24
    make you strong not weak if Jesus is
  • 00:09:27
    willing to wash the feet of others to
  • 00:09:30
    show love then we can show love to our
  • 00:09:33
    neighbor by cleaning our driveway if
  • 00:09:36
    Jesus is willing to forgive those who
  • 00:09:39
    killed him then we can forgive those who
  • 00:09:42
    broke our heart we don't have to be
  • 00:09:45
    Christian to learn from Jesus we just
  • 00:09:48
    need to be human you can be anything you
  • 00:09:53
    can be any nationality you can be male
  • 00:09:56
    female young old and you can still find
  • 00:10:00
    life and love in Jesus
