Jesus: The Man Who Changed Historyنموونە

“In the history of the world there have been ‘BIG GOD religions’. Such Gods are far away, transcendent, never visiting earth. OR there have been ‘small god religions’. Think of the Greek or Norse gods — they show up, but they’re petty and they squabble. They are not Ultimate Reality themselves, they are gods with a little “g” and they show themselves to be worse than humans.

But then there’s Jesus — both God and man.

And that combination — his greatness and his lowliness — pervades everything about him.

He’s the KING who serves as the lowest slave.

He’s The Holy One reaching out to lepers.

He’s The Righteous One who feasts with sinners.

He’s the Pure One embraced by prostitutes.

And on the cross where he dies we see those things coming together,

His greatness and his lowliness; his kingliness and his servant heart.

This is unparalleled and unprecedented.”
