If Jesus of Nazareth was not the Son of God, he still would not be an ordinary man. Consider:
- He has over 2 BILLON followers currently.
- His book, the bible, a book written about Him, has been the number 1 best seller, every year, for over 600 years.
- His book was the first book ever printed.
- All top Universities that have around for more than 250 years, were originally dedicated to the study of Him and his book.
- The organization, that He founded, has been in existence for over 2000 years. There is no other organization on the face of the earth that can claim that.
- He is the most famous man that ever lived.
- No one is supposed to be forced to be a disciple of his.
- Christianity exists in about 99% of the world.
- The bible has been translated into every major language, and hundreds of minor ones.
- The Catholic Church dominated Europe for 1000 years, and ended the Roman Empire not the Germanic barbarians. The Germanic barbarians all ended up becoming Christians.
- The organization that Jesus started, invented Universities, Hospitals, Modern Libraries, and the Non Prop charity.
- Many quotations from Jesus are well known, and quoted by people who may not know that Jesus was their source.
During this Christmas season, we need remember what a great gift to the world that Jesus is, and He is the “reason for the season”, and the “true meaning of Christmas”.
OOOOO and it makes me wonder… Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these??
