Dr. Richard Halverson, former Pastor and Chaplain of the U.S. Senate wrote this statement regarding Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the FINAL - ABSOLUTE - INCONROVERTIBLE ground for Christian faith...
If He can be discredited--Christianity is discredited.
If he is wrong -- Chrisianity is wrong...
If He can fail - Christianity will fail!...
Christian faith rises and falls with Jesus Christ!
NOT OUR DOCTRINE ABOUT Him--but Jesus Christ Himself.
Our doctrine is fallible - He is not.
Our doctrine may be wrong - He is not.
Put all the theology together--every thought
man has ever formulated about Jesus Christ
---He is greater by infinity than the sum total of all dogma
conceived by the mind of man.
You cannot escape Jesus Christ as a fact of history...
He was actually born in a certain place at a certain time under a certain condition...
He lived a certain kind of life--taught many things--did many things...
And finally died as a common criminal in the method most accepted in that day for capital punishment.
History is divided by Him. In the words of Charles Malik of Lebanon 'Jesus Christ is the hinge of history."
The fact of Jesus Christ's existence is indisputable...
But the minute you accept Him as a fact of history--you cannot explain Him on any other ground than that He was God in the flesh!
He was unique in His birthl...
He weas unique in His life...
He was unique in His death...
He was unique in His victory over death --
the resurrection
