WHO IS THIS MAN? Have you ever met a man who is the center of attention wherever he goes with some mysterious, indefinable characteristic that sets him apart from all other men? Well, believe it or not, that’s precisely the way it was two thousand years ago with a man called Yeshua from Nazareth. But it wasn’t merely Yeshua’s personality that captivated the people who heard him. Those who witnessed his words and life tell us that something about Yeshua from Nazareth was different from all other men. Yeshua’s only credentials were himself. | He never wrote a book, He never commanded an army, He did not hold a political office, He did not own any property and He mostly traveled within a hundred miles of his village, attracting crowds who were amazed at his provocative words and stunning deeds. Yet Yeshua’s greatness was obvious to ALL those who saw and heard him. And while most “great” people eventually fade into history books, Yeshua is still the focus of thousands of books and unparalleled media controversy. And much of that controversy revolves around the radical claims He made about himself—claims that astounded both his followers and his adversaries. It was primarily Yeshua’s unique claims that caused him to be viewed as a threat by both the Roman authorities and the Jewish hierarchy. Although he was an outsider with no credentials or political powerbase, within three (3) years, Yeshua changed the world for the next 20 centuries right until this very day. Other moral and religious leaders have left an impact—but nothing like that of the unknown carpenter’s son from Nazareth!!!
