New Yorks busy commuters rush around busily, completely ignoring the man with long almost auburn hair, gentle, deep brown eyes, and soiled clothing. He knelt on the dirty ground without giving a glance at it which was covered with gum and cigarettes. An old man looks at him gratefully and thanks him repeatedly after the man helps the senior up. The old man thinks only that he was healed of his paralysis and the thought that this might be someone like a prophet never crosses his mind. But it is. Its Jesus Christ, the Messiah, born into the twentieth century. Christ does not look like he would be a prophet or the Son of God. Dressed poorly, he has baggy jeans, a pair of glasses for reading, a huge oversized bright orange T-shirt, and a tangled mass of unkempt brown hair arranged in an unfashionable way around his shoulders. Jesus eyes dont match his outfit at all. His eyes are deep brown, kind, and loving. They could gaze into ones soul or condemn someone of their sins. Jesus is thirty-three, three years after he started wandering in the big city of New York City, helping as much people as he could. Jesus grew up in Forest Hills, a nice neighborhood. He went to school at P.S. 101 and went to Stuyvesant. He was talented, happy, and popular. Jesus attitude to everything earned friends and admirers. Many thought he was going continue Josephs (his father) carpentry business. But suddenly, Jesus decided to change and left home to live by himself. Then Jesus began helping others. Jesus began studying biology and aimed to become a doctor. He graduated with a Masters degree. Jesus showed an uncanny ability to heal others. He opened a clinic and people were attracted there like flies to honey. The rumor about a doctor that could heal anything spread. Jesus was thought to be able to perform all sorts of miracles. Once, a child came to his clinic with a loaf of bread for Jess. Jesus took it and multiplied it and gave it back to the child. But Jesus also gained enemies who hated him because he did not charge the people who could not afford to pay for his treatment. Enemies

also were earned when Jesus began talking to his patients about God as he was raised from a religious family. April 6rd, while walking on the streets, Jesus saw a child struggling to get up after receiving a wound from a gang with knives attacking him. Jesus managed to get the child onto his back and carry him for a distance before the gang caught up. The child managed to get away but Jesus was stabbed to death. Knife marks were made on the feet, wrists, side, and something that looked like thorns or nails were stabbed into Jesus head enough to start bleeding but not extremely deep. After a day passed, someone found him and brought him to the hospital. On April 8th, Jesus regained consciousness. Jesus mysteriously disappeared a month after this incident. The people who knew Jesus began opening clinics that did not charge money. Twelve of Jesus close friends began these offices and passed on Jesus message to be kind always. The child that Jesus saved was one of these twelve.
