An anonymous author made this striking observation:
Socrates taught for forty years, Plato for fifty, Aristotle for forty, and Jesus for only three. Yet the influence of Christ's three-year ministry infinitely transcends the impact left by the combined 130 years of teaching from these men who were among the greatest philosophers of all antiquity. Jesus painted no pictures; yet some of the finest paintings of Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci received their inspiration from Him. Jesus wrote no poetry; but Dante, Milton, and scores of the world's greatest poets were inspired by Him. Jesus composed no music; still Haydn, Handel, Beethoven, Bach, and Mendelssohn reached their highest perfection of melody in the hymns, symphonies, and oratorios they composed in His praise.
Every sphere of human greatness has been enriched by the humble Carpenter of Nazareth.
His unique contribution to the Human race is the salvation of the soul! Philosophy could not accomplish that. Nor art. Nor literature. Nor music. Only Jesus Christ can break the enslaving chains of sin and Satan. Christ alone can speak peace to the human heart, strengthen the weak, and give life to those who are spiritually dead. Jesus is a marvelous example and proven leader for Christians to emulate and serve.
Is this information something we need to share with other people or is it a lifestyle that should be lived in front of people? or both?

Jesus Man
[The Image Hosting]
Slowly becoming used to the idea of being forgiven
Eye have my second chances and the most unforgiven man is the one who judged me he was carry his beer sack and HIS voice was just a squeak to me eye did not bat my eye or even my anything else at him without hesitation eye told him eye am a Nazerene and eye do not even drink
there was a long pause and then eye heard him mutter as he twisted out of sight "YOU can't say JESUS you HAVE no JESUS you do not drink no beer???"
eye did not pause or mutter back but eye added this though out of site
WHAT have you to say about JESUS you are just drinking beer???
We had no brother fellowship that's clear
Eye think he could have been more mellow and he could have wanted me to be an alcoholic haze to give to him more pleasure
But the sober me has won
And Jesus is still the SON of GOD and when eye drink in heaven
The wine will not be old and beer will not exist and there will be no dollar store.
