Information Related to "Person of the Millennia"

At
the beginning of each new calendar year, newsmagazines often designate
individuals as "People of the Year." These selections are usually based
on the impact or influence these people have had on society. Occasionally,
historians will describe someone as the person of the century. But what
about a longer period of time—say, thousands of years, all the
millennia humanity has existed?
The most influential human being of all time was undoubtedly Jesus Christ (the name signifying Jesus the Messiah or Anointed One). Of course, this statement takes nothing away from God the Father—the One Jesus said was greater than He (John 14:28). It simply reflects that Jesus was the member of the God family who "became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14). Jesus was the One who became human.
When we consider the impact people of note make on others, there are generally some who are pleased and others who are upset. This principle is most certainly true concerning Jesus! Today there are many who claim to be Christians—that is, followers of Christ—and there are many who despise Christianity and its leader. Some even say Christianity is a hoax for which simpleminded folk have fallen.
Given this polarization and the strong feelings so many hold today, we believe it's important for you to hear the real story. Each of us needs to know whether Jesus really lived, who He really was and His expectations of us today. After all, our future and that of every other person in the world hinges on the real, authentic Jesus of history and the Bible.
