“He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in Him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.” – Anonymous
Who is Jesus Christ?
Dr Billy Graham preached one of the basics of Christianity. Who is Jesus?
Scripture References: Luke 11:29-32 KJV 29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
I was flicking over at Youtube when this video got my attention. It’s about Lee Strobel‘s interview with Charles Templeton highlighting the reason why a preacher who was well on his way to becoming the best preacher of the 20th Century suddenly rejected his faith. Charles Templeton has spent years in the ministry and a close friend of Rev. Billy Graham.
In that interview, Lee came up with two rhetorical questions that describes several objections to Christianity as follows:
1. In a world of thousands of religions and gods, why is Jesus the only way to salvation? Are we actually suppose to believe that only the christians got it right?
2. How could a loving God, the God of the Bible, created a world full of evil and suffering?
What do you think dear readers? Do you have answers to this questions? Please post your answers on the comment portion below.

“A child in a mission school offered her teacher a handful of weeds and grasses, wilted and soiled at that, which she called a bouquet. Did the teacher refuse the gift, and criticize the poor withered weeds? No, she accepted them with as sincere gratitude and as many thanks as if some wealthy friend had offered her an elegant bouquet of flowers. The child did what she could; and the teacher looking behind the gift saw the love in the little heart, and that transfigured her poor gift. So it is that Christ accepts our poorest work, or our homeliest offering, if it is our best.
But the lesson has another side. “She did what she could.” It is this, then, that pleases Christ. Are we doing what we could do? Do we always bring to Him our very best gifts? Do we never put Him off with the faded flowers, keeping the fresh and fragrant ones for ourselves? Do we do for Him our very best work? Are we faithful?
If we are only doing half what we might, we cannot take the comfort of this commendation. The widow’s mites were very acceptable coming from her, because they were all she had; but they would not have elicited any such commendation if one of the rich men had given them. A little child’s ministry is very beautiful for a child, but it would not be as fitting in the father or mother. We must really do the very best we can if we would have this commendation.” – Excerpted from Daily Devotionals with Dr. James R. Miller
