Consider:
The son of a poor carpenter, insignificant snd unschooled, from an insignificant place, changes the course of civilisation, transforms the lives of billions of people, and even over 2,000 years later, thousands of churches and billions of people come together to celebrate His Birth.
What did He do or say that had such an effect on the world?
Or was it not so much what He said but the invisible force of the Holy Spirit which generated such an influence over the hearts and souls and continues to this day?
Please feel free to share your views about the greatness of this wonderful Soul Who taught us to love one another, something we still struggle to do today.
Your thoughts?
And whether you celebrate His Birth or not I wish those who do a very Merry Christmas by leaving this tribute to Jesus, the Son of God.
The deepest wisdom which the sages have uttered, the profoundest learning which any mind hath unfolded, the arts which the ablest hands have produced, the influence exerted by the most potent of rulers, are but manifestations of the quickening power released by His transcendent, His all-pervasive, and resplendent Spirit.
We testify that when He came into the world, He shed the splendor of His glory upon all created things. Through Him the leper recovered from the leprosy of perversity and ignorance. Through Him, the unchaste and wayward were healed. Through His power, born of Almighty God, the eyes of the blind were opened, and the soul of the sinner sanctified. (Baha’u’llah)
