This white marble life-sized statue of Jesus Christ is in Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens Cemetery, in a section named for the
Sermon on the Mount. The statue depicts Jesus, dressed in robes, seated and delivering his message. Found in Matthew Chapters 5-7, the Sermon on the Mount is best known for the
Beatitudes and one version of
the Lord's Prayer. Throughout the Sermon Jesus takes passages from scripture that would already be familiar to his audience and gives them new meanings or interpretations.
Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity. Most Christians believe he is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah (the Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament. Christian doctrine holds that Jesus performed many miracles, was
baptized by John, ministered and preached among the people of Israel for three years, was tried and
executed by crucifixion so that his death could serve as an atonement for sin, was raised from the dead after three days, and ascended into Heaven, from where He will one day return.
