Jesus, son of Mary, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born in Bethlehem. He grew in wisdom and stature, teaching love, forgiveness, and the kingdom of heaven. He healed the sick, raised the dead, and performed miracles, showing God's power and compassion. Betrayed by Judas, He was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day, He rose from the dead, defeating sin and death. He ascended to heaven, promising to return. We worship Him, the Savior of the world.
