The intensity of the Sun cannot be captured, no matter how good the picture, sophisticated the words and pretty the numbers-you need to look at it during noon time, feel it at sunrise and sense it at sunset to know just some of it and that too from so long a distance......
Can the rest in its shadows be fathomed without lying down?
.....and then dare we venture beyond claiming that with many mere words, sometimes, we seek to excavate HIM who can be touched only by the trusting flight of our spirits ....?
Samuel
You have to love the obvious.
There is a person who never wrote a book but more books have been written on Him than on any other person in all of human history. He never wrote a song but millions continue to sing to Him millenniums later ….He never organized an army, but even today Millions are ready to give up their lives for Him ….His words ….His ideology! He lived for less than 35 years, never had formal high level education, exercised open leadership for just under four years, lived in obscurity, never accumulated wealth in any material form, never received a Nobel prize or an award or any institutional title, risked everything He had and was for His mission and finally suffered an extremely painful and shameful death. It is written, death could not hold Him nor could the fire be quenched that He had planted in the hearts of those who followed Him. The fire was highly contagious and spread around the world on a zero budget plan, bringing the then all powerful Roman empire to its knees, redefining the value of human life and continued to burn through the ages under the guidance of the teachings of a now invisible leader –even till today and is expected to continue as long as human life lasts. Who is this incomparable leader......
It's Jesus who was and is and is to come!!!
