Reynolds Price writing about 'Jesus of Nazareth' in 'Time' magazine (December 1999), declared, "A serious argument can be made that no one else's life has proved remotely as powerful and enduring as that of Jesus." So when this man, born in an obscure village two millennium ago declared, "I am the light of the world." (John 8:12) and “My words by no means pass away."

Do you put Him in the same class as other influential figures or has He transformed your life? Unlike all other notable people who eventually died, Jesus is still miraculously alive.
