What made Jesus's life change?
Your question was answered differently by believers as the first century passed. In the years following Jesus's death, most believers thought that Jesus was not born the Messiah. They believed that he became the Messiah when he was crucified. Thus, his life changed at the crucifixion. Later in the first century, people began to place more emphasis on the public ministry that Jesus had done in the few years before he was crucified. They came to point to a different moment as the point when Jesus became the Messiah. They decided that Jesus became the Messiah-which certainly changed his life-when he was baptized by John the Baptist. At the end of the first century, the belief changed again. Christians came to believe that Jesus was born the Messiah; so in terms of his divine identity, Jesus's life did not change. Christians still believe this today. Historically, what changed Jesus's life? Well, the beginning of his public ministry and his crucifixion.
