Today I give you a challenge... One that does not require a lot of thought. There will not be a lot of murkiness either in this challenge. It will actually be very easy. You have to choose between WAS or IS. Do you want what WAS or do you want what IS? Real simple. Here let me give you some examples...
Muhammad - Muhammad's claim to his authority from God, according to the teachings of the Quran is based on the Old Testament scriptures Deuteronomy 18:18-22. However if you read these verses, verse 18 says that the prophet would come from among the 'brethren' of the Jews. So if this is true then Muhammad was a Jew. And most people have read enough about him to know that he definitely wasn't a Jew, so then the only logical conclusion is... He was a liar. So, will you choose to follow a liar???
Buddha - Buddha was a man. Though a lot of his followers attributed many supernatural traits to him, he was still only a man. And guess what, he died. I know that those who follow the Maker King's Son also believe that He was supernatural as well. And Jesus died too. However Buddha does not have one feat that Jesus did... Jesus came back from the dead. I don't mean re-incarnation, I mean His body came back to life after three days, and He walked out of the tomb. So, will you choose to follow a dead guy???
Confucius - Again Confucius was a man who lived in China a long time ago. I will admit, he was extremely smart. His ideas for law and organization was grand; he was even wise in agreeing with the King on how we should treat others. However Confucius worshiped his ancestors. Dead people, who could care less about you or I and really don't even know if their being worshiped or not. So, will you choose to follow someone who may have had great moral ideas but was lost following dead people???
Then there is the Maker King's Son, Jesus. Jesus did exactly everything He said He was going to do, exactly as He said He was going to do it and exactly at the time He said it would happen. Jesus fulfilled every prophecy that relates to the Jewish teachings of the Messiah. And as I stated about, HE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD! And many witnesses witnessed him rise into Heaven, where He is still alive today and reaching out to us everyday. SO!!!
Will you choose someone who was a liar, someone who was alive, someone who was a confused moral teacher or someone who is ALIVE. Jesus is the way, is the truth and is the life... Choose Him today and find out for yourself.
