Notes about Jesus

Notes about Jesus

“Jesus…has now been celebrated about three hundred years having done nothing in his lifetime worthy of fame, unless anyone thinks it is a very great work to heal lame and blind people and exorcise demoniacs in the villages of Bethsaida and Bethany.”
                          Julian the Apostate, Roman Emperor (361-363 A.D.)
Julian the Apostate was one of history’s most fervent enemies of Christ and Christianity yet in the end even he said,
“Thou has conquered, O Galilean!”
William Durant, popular American modern historian and philosopher (1885-1981) When asked what he felt the apex of history was: “the three years that Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth.”
Jesus is a turning point in history. A time when God himself, the creator of the universe reached down to man.
C. S. Lewis said of Jesus,
“He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less.”
The apostle Paul put it this way,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
 Romans 5:8.
That is the key to Christianity, God reaching to man. All that is required is faith in Jesus Christ. To believe that he came to this earth for the individual.
That he came to give that individual eternal life.
Jesus himself said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
John 3:16,17.
As to who Jesus is and why he came to this earth is up to the individual to decide.  Is his message the message presented in the New Testament true or not.
You dear reader must decide.
Think about it.
