Jesus is so important to humanity, because salvation and the forgiveness of our sins can only be obtained through accepting Him as your Savior, in Matthew 1:21, and Collossi â¦ ans 1:15-22, which reconciles us to Father God.
  Since the last mention of Joseph is when Jesus was 12 and he was not mentioned again it is taken to mean he died before Jesus began His ministry. Jesus, while on the cross, told John (the disciple whom Jesus loved) to look after his mother. Jesus was looking after her because He was the eldest son.
