Who is Jesus?
In chemistry, He turned water to wine.
In biology, He was born without the normal conception;
In physics, He disapproved the law of gravity when He ascended into heaven;
In economics, He disapproved the law of diminishing return by feeding 5000 men with two fishes & 5 loaves of bread;
In medicine, He cured the sick and the blind without administering a single dose of drugs,
In history, He is the beginning and the end;
In government, He said that he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace;
In religion, He said no one comes to the Father except through him;
So? Who is He? He is Jesus! Join me and let’s celebrate him; He is worthy. The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hand that will send this message to everybody shall not labor in vain, and the mouth saying amen to this prayer shall smile forever.
Remain in God and seek his face always Amen!
In God I’ve found everything!
The Greatest Man in History Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

I’m afraid I must beg to differ on this one…
“He committed no crime…”
In the eyes of the Roman masters of Judea, he was in fact more of a criminal than a lot of the people around at the time. Cricifiction was a very common punishment when no “games” were being held, expensive proposistions that they were. Judea was seen
to be a very unstable provice, and Essenes like Christ were seen to be guilty of sedition….
“Won no military battles yet conquered the world”
Alexander and others like him conquered. Christianity wasn’t picked up as the state religon of Rome until after the emperor Constantine, and it still took many years before the “games” were abolished by the actions of the monk Telemuchus….
“Had no degree….”
To become a teacher in these times did not require a degree to begin with. In fact, ANYBODY with a will to the job and a bit of experience to pass on. “Degrees” did not become universally accepted as a standard for educators until after the Scots established the first UNIVERSITIES.
“Kings feared him….”
Serious doubt as to this….Feared more by elements of the Judea’s Jewish population than anyone else….
“Had no servants, yet they called him Master…”
Lots of people in the Roman world were referred to by this title…
“Buried in a tomb yet he lives today…”
He lives, Sir, in the MINDS of people, just as other figures in History do. This really is mythologizing for the benefit of the church…..
All in all, if you look at academic, rather than religious based history, you will find perfectly reasonable explanations for all of this nonsense propagated by the church over the last 2000 odd years…
I have a funny feeling that Christ himself would ROLL OVER IN THE GRAVE if he could see just what his small anti-Roman group has become, how it’s been twisted for the power needs of others….
In short, a little research will do you the world of good, rather than “thumping” the same book ad nauseum….
