But some of the people did not accept him as a Son of God and was jealous that he was gaining many followers and plotted a plan to kill him.

As Jesus came to this world to be a sacrifice for all the sins of man kind their plan succeeded and Jesus was arrested. Jesus was taken to the King Pilot who was not willing to kill or arrest him for he did not find any fault in Jesus. But, due to some of the people and the officials protest the King gave an order to crucify Jesus Christ. Jesus was an unblemished lamb died for the sins of all man kind. Jesus was mocked and bruised by all the Roman soldiers who followed the orders of some officials who were against Jesus and evil doers.

He had to suffer the whole thing just because of all the sins of man kind. Jesus Died on the cross proclaiming last seven words which are considered as the most precious words. Jesus asked God his Father to forgive the soldiers and the officials for they do not know what they were doing. Jesus stood on the cross as a symbol of Love. God loved all the people of this world so he sent his son as a lamb to die for all their sins.
Ressurection
Jesus, when alive told his disciples and his followers that a time was going to come in which the Son of God will be surrendered to the persecutors to death and will be risen on the third day. So, the women followers of Jesus remembered his sayings and rushed to the tomb where Jesus was buried and found the tomb empty. That day Jesus broke the pangs of death and came to life again and appeared to all his followers. This day was considered as the day of festival called Easter, the day of Resurrection of Jesus Christ the Lord and savior of all man kind.
