Truth or the biggest lie in human history.
The apostle Paul writes,
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1Corinthians 1:18.
Christmas is but a few days away. The day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. Whether He was born on the 25th of December is unimportant. The point is Christians around the world choose to celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus on that day.
There are many who say Jesus was a good man. They are even some who say he never existed. Choosing to think Christians are foolish in what they believe.
The apostle Paul knew this and admitted that from a strictly human standpoint a faith that believes their founder was born in a stable and eventually died on a Roman cross looks foolish. Perhaps even more foolish is to believe Jesus rose from the grave.
For me I believe the New Testament narrative about Jesus. I believe Jesus when he was talking about himself said,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son". John 3:16-18.
And I am not alone. There are over two billion Christians in the world that believe this also, and our numbers are growing.
What this ultimately comes down to is do you believe this. Because if it is true people who hear the message about Jesus have at the very least a lot to think about.
If the message of Christ is false, then Jesus and His disciples have pulled off the greatest lie in human history.
Please think about it.
