Jesus

Jesus, a man today is his birthday, he is one of the most famous men to truly live on this earth and now is followed by millions all over the world.

"Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the Child of a peasant woman. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty, and then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but Himself. He had nothing to do with this world except the naked power of His Divine manhood. While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a Cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth while He was dying—and that was His coat. When He was dead He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. Such was His human life—He rises from the dead. Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone and today He is the Centerpiece of the human race and the Leader of the column of progress. I am within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that One Solitary Life." --James C. Hefley

Alright so first off I had a poll and people voted on if they thought Jesus Christ was real or not. Now even though only 11 people voted I still consider that to be a lot. And they said that yes Jesus was real. Which I can safely say

Yes

He was real, indefinitely a real man! There is certainly a lot of books and stories about him. He seems real enough. Every Sunday people go to church to worship him. And they pray to him and talk about him. They eat to him and honor his birth and death.

Sounds like a real fascinating man eh?

I sure as hell think so.

Look! if we are still talking about him today than he must have done something right, am I right? he made miracles which cured and saved so many people! He died one of the most horrible death's imaginable and then came back to life! 0_o Not even Buddha or Moses or Muhammad could do THAT. There can only be one explanation, Jesus went to Hogwarts. Lol just kidding. But in all seriousness perhaps he was using the power of God or a higher being.

That's what a lot believe in. And there is nothing wrong with that! In fact I applaud it, it is very rare to find a true christian these days. H.G Wells said "I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history."
Agreed but not in a negative term. I wasn't sure what he meant by dominant, it could be taken into positive and negative terms. I'm assuming it's positive.

And now for my theory

Jesus was human, but he had such an understanding of his surroundings at such an early age he had the power to harness all life (the force), and use his power to create everything good. He took what he was raised from and made it grow in the hearts of hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands. Until he got too powerful and then was forced to succumb to the true evil and pathetic forces of human nature, greed. Judas, the Jews, Pontius Pilate, there is no one specific person to blame. Jesus had ultimate knowledge and knew what was going to happen to him. He died and then rose again. We cannot call that a man, he was an enlightened being, or an angel, or a prophet of divine wisdom, or a sage, or a super genius, even a Buddha! It doesn't matter if we call him lord our saviour or some guy, his message of peace and prosperity is the most important thing of all. And through this world of hate and violence, his word is one of the only words I can trust. Thank you Jesus for helping me and millions like me see a pure path and pure way through life. There are many people who believe in him who take everything so literally and there are people who think the whole thing is a crock, so what? don't assure yourself with them. They can do what they want. If YOU think they are wrong, so be it. Don't try and tell them what to believe.

But now, we look on to this great man's birthday his coming onto this earth and see, what?
