The greatest Man on Earth

Here are five of the best passages/readings about the greatest Man to have ever walked the earth - Jesus Christ.  Happy Easter everyone and regardless  of what faith you belong or don't belong to - have a read and enjoy.He became like us - that we might become like Him.

He was rejected - that we might be accepted.
He was condemned - that we might be forgiven.
He was punished - that we might be pardoned.
He suffered - that we might be strengthened.
He was whipped - that we might be healed.
He was hated - that we might be loved.
He was crucified - that we might be justified.
He was tortured - that we might be comforted.
He died - that we might live.
He went to hell - that we might go to Heaven.
He endured what we deserve - that we might enjoy what only He deserves. Dr Peter Hammond

Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him... He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

Christ chose to be a teacher. It is highly significant to realise that the greatest intellect in human history - the most talented individual ever to grace this globe - chose to be a teacher! He chose this way of carrying out part of this awesome assignment. Spencer W. Kimball

The best of men
That e'er wore earth about Him was a Sufferer,
A soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit;
The first true gentleman that ever breathed.Thomas Dekker

Do we find it a burden to give of our time to others? Did Christ not heal all those who were brought to him even though many a day and a night it seemed like the whole city was gathered around him? Are we sometimes asked to do for others what may seem to be beneath us or what is tiresome and monotomous? Was not the Son of God born in a stable? Did he not make himself a servant, even to washing the feet of his Disciples, saying to them, "the servant is not greater than His Lord?" Love One Another. Serve your fellowman. The example has been given you. Ezra Taft Benson
