His Life and Message
Look at the life and influence of Jesus of Nazareth throughout history and you
will see that Jesus Christ was in fact the living Son of God. He and His message
always produce great changes in the lives of men and of nations. Wherever His
teachings and influence have gone, the holiness of marriage has been emphasized,
women's rights and voice in society have been acknowledged; schools and
universities of higher learning have been established; laws to protect children
have been made; slavery has been abolished; and a multitude of other changes
have been made for the good of mankind.
Individual lives are also dramatically changed. For example, Lew Wallace, a
famous general and literary genius, was a known atheist. For two years, Mr.
Wallace studied in the leading libraries of Europe and America, seeking
information that would forever destroy Christianity. While writing the second
chapter of a book he planned to write, he suddenly found himself on his knees
crying out to Jesus, "My Lord and my God!"
Because of solid indisputable evidence, he could no longer deny that Jesus
Christ was the Son of God. Later, Lew Wallace wrote the book Ben Hur, one
of the greatest English novels ever written concerning the time of Christ.
Similarly, the late C.S. Lewis, professor at Oxford University in England,
was an agnostic who denied the deity of Christ for years. But he, too, in
intellectual honesty, submitted to Jesus as his God and Savior after studying
the overwhelming evidence for His deity.
In these intellectual quests, one has to conclude for themselves–
is Jesus Lord, Liar or Lunatic?
