Jesus: The Spiritual Teacher

To All God's Children,


-->A long time ago I once believed, in opposition to a friend of mine, that Jesus did not have to do what he did. As a human he had the right to live a normal life just as anyone else does. That’s what makes us human – our ability to choose what we want to do. If Jesus had been tempted by the devil when he was on the mountain he would have completely abandoned his messiah mission.
Therefore, because he carried out his mission to spread the word, did not abandon his duties, and whether you believe he is the messiah or not, brought light and life to so many people who believe, he is the greatest man and perhaps the most influential man to ever walk the earth. For God sake, they started time all over again in his name.
Even if you don’t believe in him or agree with him you should respect him as a spiritual teacher - and no I'm not a hardcore conservative Christian. For your wisdom, grace, and the gallant reception of such a humiliating death, Jesus is one of the most influential people in my life. Thank you, Jesus.
