There was nothing complicated about him. He spoke to the people in a manner that they could all understand. This is why he spoke in parables, they understood what he was reffering to, but it confounded the wise men. He always had a friendly smile and was always willing to heal their sick without reward. He was a man of the people and for the people.

∙ 13y agoThis is hard to explain. Based on the multitudes who are reported to have flocked to see Jesus, and the further thousands whom Acts of the Apostles reports that Peter converted, one would expect that a large part of the population of Galilee and Jerusalem would have been Christians. Yet the Christians seem to have been an insignificant proportion of the population at the time of the Roman-Jewish War in 70 CE. People may have come out of curiousity, but it seems clear that very few were convinced.

It must be noted that the "Poor" and "The enslaved" are the spirit within, and the oppression and suffering are caused by the evil forces.(Matthew5v3-). One other thing is that there are both divine and fleshly sufferings.As in the case of Jesus Christ.

∙ 9y agoJesus captured attention because of how he taught and the miracles that he performed. Just like now someone who is doing something out of the ordinary will gain followers.
Jesus was different. He taught as someone who had authority and he criticized the rulers. Today people who take the time to read The Bible and see for themselves who Jesus was will find the same attraction. He was anti-establishment and for the establishment of a radical way of life. Jesus calls us to give up everything to follow him.

Roman emperor when Jesus was alive?
The Emperor of Rome at the time of Jesus' death was Tiberius Claudius Nero Caesar, but he did not kill Jesus. The only way Rome had a part in Jesus' death is that the land of Judah was under Roman control and the Jews could not put a person to death but had to appeal to Rome to crucify a person. The Jewish leaders wanted Jesus dead and so they appeal to Pontius Pilate, who was the Procurator (like a governor) to put Jesus to death. He obliged them.
