The book of Jesus, surely the founder of Christianity would have written something down right "wrong" why is it that we don't see a book of Jesus or even some brief writings? Wouldn't you think the founder of Christianity would have written something down for further generations to see? All we have of Jesus Christ his what he illegally said, from people who knew him or knew of him!

"Dark Angel":
That is a good question. I am glad that you are thinking about things, not just accepting what is shown to you. That is an important aspect of growth.
It's true; there is no book of Jesus in the Bible. If you look, though, there are several disciples who did not have books, either. Jesus's teachings were given to many, every day, all the time. He taught with His actions, His miracles, His life, His teachings, His love. His earthly life was spent, before He began traveling and teaching, as a carpenter with his family.
When Jesus began teaching, saving, there were many who did not believe, as now. His life and works were all prophesied before His arrival, and fulfilled in His life, death, and resurrection. The disciples themselves even said that all of the signs that He gave of his deity where not listed.
Here is a question for you, also. Do you keep a journal? If you do, do you write down every single thing that you do throughout the day? Jesus's life was full of constant prayer, teaching, healing, and travel. I am quite sure He did not have time to say, "Not right now.. .I'll cure his leprosy after I finish this journal entry."
But, Jesus DID want the world to know, so that we might all be saved. This is why He visited with the disciples before He ascended. He came and told His believers that they were to spread the Word, and take care of His people, and they were given the Holy Spirit to guide the rest of the generations. All can have a personal relationship with the Lord now.
Christians (followers of Christ), have been charged to spreading the gospel; but that is not all that has been said. Christians are to live holy lives. This is something that all humans struggle with. It is the human element that has caused so much conflict with believers and non-believers. Christians are constantly watched and critiqued by non-believers, as it should be. However, too many Christians have become caught up in spreading the Word, and have neglected living the life.

The books in the New Testament are the recounts of the event that transpired during and after the coming of Christ. The purpose of a testimonial is that the people who witness the events may testified to the miracles and actions of Christ. Yes, Christ could have written a book of Jesus but what impact would it have had on the world. The books are design to tell what Jesus did for us and give us hope and faith for the future.

The Gospel of John opens with:
In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
What do you mean by, "what He illegally said"?
He is the one who established the law. The Sadducees and the Pharisees changed the law to their own appeal, then looked for every means they could to find fault in Jesus, and were still unsuccessful. He was crucified without having committed any sin.

Jesus did not need a book. He is the Word of God, the Living Word. Read the Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, They are all about Jesus, which they wrote. Why would Jesus write a book about Himself? when He is Immanuel, God with us here in the flesh.

Jesus didn't have the time to sit and write he was busy teaching. The New Testament is about Jesus, written about him by those who knew him.

Interestingly, in the Russian Bible, the book of Joshua is called the book of "Jesus son of Nun", since JESUS and JOSHUA are the same name (Greek and Hebrew), just like JOHN and JEAN (English and French).

Well you never know. It is possible that he wrote some things later on in his life. After all, we just recently found the Gospel of Judas Iscariot. There may well be something from Jesus himself still yet to be discovered.

Jesus came into public and did His mission of redemption only for 3.5 years. This small span, He didn't want to spend time in writing. Most of all, He gave inspiration to Moses, David, Job, Esther, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, Nehemiah...etc. and Mathew, Mark, Paul and Peter to write the Bible from time to time through Holy Spirit. So He is the Word of God and He wrote all these books.

all scripture is God breathed. The Holy Spirit worked through the people who wrote the bible.
