It’s time to finish the greatest race ever begun…
Today, Jesus is still misunderstood, the most misunderstood person who ever lived. As you ponder these statements below I am sure you’ll agree with me that Jesus is the most misunderstood man who ever lived: - The Buddhists say He was only a wise man. - The Hindus believe He is one of millions of gods. - The Muslims say He was just a prophet. - The Agnostics believe that He was a rebel. - The Atheists believe He is a fantasy figure. - The Christians believe that He created a religion called Christianity. The truth is that all of these people are wrong! Who was Jesus and what was the purpose of His coming? Was it to die on the cross? Was it to defeat Satan? Jesus’ death and victory on the cross was a necessity to make a door for us into the kingdom of God! Satan and sin had destroyed our relationship with God. Jesus died with all mankind’s sin on the cross to open the way for us, that we again could enter the kingdom of God. This was Jesus’ primary purpose. Jesus did not come into our world just as a wise man or prophet. He did not come as a rebel. He didn’t come to be another God, or to create yet another religion. NO.
