What
would you say is the world’s greatest controversy? I cannot think of any except
Christ Jesus. The Bible says He is the Saviour of the world as the Messiah; the
Jews His own kinsmen rejected Him. The Jewish religious fanatics hated and killed Him for no particular punishable offense!
This
is a very peculiar and unique Personality that was known for loving sinners or
offenders; He loved to the point of death all who falsely accused Him; He prayed
for the forgiveness of those who plotted against and hang Him on the cross to
die!
Jesus
the greatest controversy ever; performed signs and wonders or mighty miracles;
healing the sick, casting out demons, blessed the needy, hungry and raised the
dead etc; and He was rejected, despised and betrayed by His closest
acquaintances!
Up
till today, even though not physically present in the world; Jesus’
controversial status remains the factor to reckon with in all circles of
society, nations and the entire globe! He is still hated, despised, mocked,
betrayed and His followers are persecuted all over the world!
Jesus
said unto them, “Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the
builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the
Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?” (Ps 118:22,23; Mt 21:42)
