Socrates taught for 40 years, Plato for 50, Aristotle for 40, Jesus for only 3. Yet the influence of Christ’s 3-year ministry infinitely transcends the impact left by the combined 130 years of teaching from these men who were among the greatest philosophers of all time.
Jesus painted no pictures; yet some of the finest paintings of Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci received their inspiration from Him. Jesus wrote no poetry; but Dante, Milton, and scores of the world’s greatest poets were inspired by Him. Jesus composed no music; still Haydn, Handel, Beethoven, Bach, and
Mendelssohn reached their highest perfection of melody in the
hymns, symphonies, and oratorios they composed in His praise.
Every sphere of human greatness has been enriched by this humble
Carpenter of Nazareth.
His unique contribution to the human race is the salvation of
the soul! Philosophy could not accomplish that. Nor art. Nor literature. Nor music. Only Jesus Christ can break the enslaving chains of sin and Satan. He alone can speak peace to the human heart,
Strengthen the weak, and give life to those who are spiritually dead.
Jesus Christ is the true Messiah, the Son of God, and Savior of the
world!
