The Life of Jesus, Part 3 (3/10)ಮಾದರಿ
Jesus is... multiple choice
Once I was on the street interviewing people, asking them their opinion about Jesus. Who do you think he is? What are your thoughts about him? I assumed I would get a negative answer by asking people, but the reality was the opposite.
What I found out was that most people like Jesus. That seems a common opinion. Even atheists like his character and find his life inspiring. Jesus is a great inspiring example for many people. Muslims have him in their Koran. I guess when we do a survey that almost everyone on this planet would appreciate him at the least.
During the time Jesus lived on earth, he was doing great miracles. Changing water into wine, healing people and even raising people from the dead. He was very popular! That was disturbing for the religious leadership of the country. They were concerned that his popularity would enable him to fight them, and they might lose.
In this part of Jesus' biography, we find the most difficult thing for people to deal with. Watch this part of his life!
Jesus expresses that he is the Son of the living God. For the ancient leadership, that was the breaking point. That could not be accepted.
And for many people in the 21st century, this is also a breaking point. Jesus can be anything, but the Son of God? Absolutely not!
But if we take Jesus seriously and listen to what he says, then we have to pay attention to his statement about his origin and connection to his Father. Read it today and consider the meaning of his words!
