Is Jesus God? (1)

By: Hendrik Wieland

But many believe something far more.
Christians believe that God has actually visited us in human form.
And they believe the evidence backs that up. So who is the real Jesus? Let’s take a closer look.
As we take a deeper look at the world’s most controversial person, we begin by asking: could Jesus have been merely a great moral teacher?
Great Moral Teacher?
Almost all scholars acknowledge that Jesus was a great moral teacher.
In fact, his brilliant insight into human morality is an accomplishment recognized even by those of other religions.
In his book Jesus of Nazareth, Jewish scholar Joseph Klausner wrote, “It is universally admitted … that Christ taught the purest and sublimes ethics … which throws the moral precepts and maxims of the wisest men of antiquity far into the shade.”
Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount has been called the most superlative teaching of human ethics ever uttered by an individual.
In fact, much of what we know today as “equal rights” actually is the result of Jesus’ teaching.
Some said of Jesus that “he lived and struggled unremitting for ‘equal rights’.
‘He that is greatest among you, let him be your servant’—this is the inversion of all political wisdom, of all sanity.”
Some have tried to separate Jesus’ teaching on ethics from his claims about himself, believing that he was simply a great man who taught lofty moral principles.
May you live today with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory.
May you discover real happiness in Christ Jesus, happiness the world did not give you; happiness the world cannot take away.
May the trash that's been thrown on you be completely removed from your memory as you rise to achieve the dream that God has given you.
Let this day be a day of new beginning, as the angels of God go before you to make your way clear, and behind you to be your rear guard.
May God give you the desires of His heart because He loves you.
