John 4:42 (NIV)
42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just
because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that
this man really is the Savior of the world.”
History, philosophy, theology, and—in many centers of
learning—even the sciences are being studied to discover what they have to say
about Jesus Christ. The records of the Early Church are being reexamined for
their testimony to Him. Archaeologists are digging to discover new evidence.
Some say that Jesus Christ is a myth, and He never existed
in history. Others say that He was merely a man, that there was nothing
supernatural about His birth, and that His resurrection was a hallucination.
Others talk about a Christless Christianity. Some say that no matter what one
thinks about Christ, it does not affect Christianity. They are wrong!
Christianity is forever linked with the Person of Christ.
Carlyle recognized this when he said, “Had this doctrine of the deity of Christ
been lost, Christianity would have vanished like a dream.” The historian Lecky
remarks, “Christianity is not a system of morals, it is the worship of a
Person.”
Thought for today:
Who do I say Christ is?
