So Who is Jesus Anyway ?

WORD FOR TODAY with Bob Gass - Wednesday 23rd August 2000 Jesus "...THOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS: FOR HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS" MATTHEW 1:21 Socrates and Aristotle each taught for 40 years, Plato for 50, but Jesus for only three. Yet His influence far surpasses the combined 130 years of teaching by these men who are acknowledged as the greatest philosophers of all antiquity. He painted no pictures, yet the finest paintings of Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo daVinci received their illumination from Him. He wrote no poetry, yet Dante, Milton and others of the world's greatest poets were inspired by Him. He composed no music, yet Haydn, Handel, Beethoven and Bach reached their highest perfection in hymns symphonies, and oratorios composed in His honour. Every sphere of human greatness has been enriched by the humble Carpenter of Nazareth. His unique contribution to the race of men is the salvation of the soul. Philosophy could not accomplish that. Nor art. Nor literature. Nor music. Only He can break the enslaving chains of sin and satan. Only He can heal the broken-hearted, strengthen the weak and give life to those who are spiritually dead. Please let me introduce you to Him today. He has been my personal Saviour and Friend for over 40 years. He loves you and I think you'll find Him easy to love too.
