Celebrate Jesus by David R. Mains (2000-01-01) - Softcover

After two millennia, Jesus Christ still piques the interest of committed Christians, avowed atheists, and everyone in between. Obviously, Jesus' character gives us the clues as to why he's been admired by so many so often.

Here are just eight of those clues. You can probably think of more:

* Jesus stayed spiritually connected and directed.
* Jesus shattered the stereotypes of "us" and "them."
* Jesus liked people and drew out the best in them.
* Jesus knew his identity yet served with humility.
* Jesus spoke God's truth in everyday language.
* Jesus cast a vision of a better kingdom, now and future.
* Jesus courageously completed his assigned mission.
* Jesus broke the power of darkness so all can live in the Light.
