The actual conversion of a person to Christianity involves the realisation that Christ died in their place. The modern world looks at Christianity with some unexplainable kind of disdain. The believer can’t do enough to express sufficient gratitude to the Saviour who has done so much for them. The Lord Jesus Christ is so totally marvellous, heroic and radiantly glorious. All Christians have been thoroughly transformed into people who rightly look to further glorify their Lord.

Christ is possibly the person in history of whom the most details of his life are known. Michael H. Hart’s The 100: A Ranking Of The Most Influential Persons In History places Mohammed as first in favour of Jesus, who is second (or third). However, a review by J.Jones clears things up a bit (you’ll need to scroll through his reviews to find it). Little detail about Mohammed’s life is known even among Muslims.

Christ’s teachings, taken as a whole, are totally unlike any other religious leader ever to set face on this earth. Furthermore, he spoke with authority (Mark 1:22), though never seeking authority for himself (John 14:10).

Jesus has been attacked from so many sides in recent years it’s unbelievable. A recent article in Quadrant magazine questioned his very existence. It wasn’t long till that drivel was very ably refuted.

I’ve been worshipping Christ since July 1991 and whenever I look back I don’t see anything much worthwhile.
