Who is this Jesus? His birth was contrary to the
laws of life. And his
death contrary to the laws of death. He had
neither wealth nor social
status. As infant he frightened a king. As a child
he puzzled
scholars. As a man he controlled nature, wallking
on water and calming
the stormy sea. He owned no farm or fishing
fleet, yet he was able to
feed 5,000 people.
And have bread and fish left over. Without
medical training or
medicine, he healed multitudes of sicknesses
and diseases, charging
nothing for his services. He never studied
psychiatry, but has healed
more broken hearts than any doctors worldwide.
He never wrote a book,
yet thousands of book have been written about
him.
He never wrote a
song, yet he is the theme of more songs than
any other person. He
never founded a college, but all the school in the
world do not have
as many students. He never commanded an
army of fired a gun, yet no
leader ever had more volunteers, resist the
enemy so strongly for so
long without firing a shot.
When he died the world did not mourn, but a
black cloud covered the
sun. Men didn't tremble for their sins, but the
earth shock under the
yoke of them. Nature honored him while sinners
rejected him. The
ground was reddened by his blood but could not
claim his body. Thoug
it's been about 2,000 years since his crucifixion,
he still lives.
Herod could not destroy him, and the grave could
not hold him. He
ranks highest in heavenly glory-proclaimed by
God, served by angels,
adored by saints, and feared by devils as the
living Christ, Our Lord
and Saviour.
Each sunday, business slows down as people
gather all over the world
to praise, worship and remember him. The
names of famous men are
forgotten, but his name becomes better known
every day. Was this
merely the son of joseph and mary who was born
20 centuries ago?No! He
was the son of the living God who came to die
for you and me
