*The Greatest*

Jesus Christ was The Greatest man that ever lived on the face of the earth: He was God manifest in the flesh (I Timothy 3:16). The Creator became a creature, so He could save us poor sinners from the wrath to come. He was the greatest Artist that ever lived. He painted the sky, the mountains, forests, oceans, galaxies, and the Niagara Falls. See John 1:3. The Alps, all the beaches, the Rockies, every sunrise and sunset, and the Appalachians were all made by Christ Jesus. Man is so stupid, he can't even make a handful of sand. No artist can imitate Jesus Christ's works. Rembrandt, Picasso, Michelangelo, Monet could never paint nature like Jesus Christ did. People travel everywhere just to see the things that Jesus Christ painted and made.

Jesus Christ was the greatest Author that ever lived. No one could ever write a book like the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is banned in countries, because it is more dangerous than a nuclear weapon. The Holy Bible is in higher demand than any other book. Jesus Christ is the greatest Musician that ever lived. Mozart, Handel, Haydn, and Beethoven all put together couldn't hold a light to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ will put a song in your heart that will stay. Jesus Christ was the greatest Scientist that ever lived. He created all the plants, animals, chemical elements, and human beings. Evolution teaches that man came from a rock. Jesus made human beings four ways: Adam out of the dust, Eve out of Adam's rib, Jesus was born of a virgin, and a man and woman combined. There's nobody like Jesus Christ - nobody - He's the real thing. Muhammed, Buddha, every Pope, Joseph Smith, and Darwin are all counterfeits. Study and get closely acquainted with Jesus Christ, and you will be able to spot a counterfeit in a second. Jesus bled to death on Calvary's Cross for your sins. God was manifest in the flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.

The greatest Preacher that ever lived was Jesus Christ. He was a greater preacher than Jonah, Paul, George Whitefield, D.L. Moody, Charles Spurgeon, or Bob Jones, Sr. He is the greatest Lover that ever lived. No one ever cared for you like Jesus Christ. Jesus loved you even when He knew all about you. You mother may love you, but if she knew all about you, it would turn her hair white 10 years ahead of time. Jesus is the Lover of men's souls. The Gospel is the only real love story (Romans 5:8; John 3:16). Christ died for you sins. Have you another Friend that would do this? Jesus was the greatest Doctor that ever lived. He healed lepers, and blind and deaf men instantly. When He was here on the face of this earth, everywhere He went Jesus healed folks, and never charged them a penny. You'll never find a doctor like Jesus Christ.

Jesus was the greatest Soldier that ever lived. He was brave and loyal to the end. He is the Captain of our salvation - He leads in the battle against sin and Satan. He set His face like a flint to go to Jerusalem and face the horrible death of the Cross. He was a greater soldier than Chesty Puller, Audie Murphy, or Salvatore Giunta. Jesus walked in the shadow of death all of His life. Jesus is the greatest Detective that ever lived. Jesus can track you down. Be sure your sin will find you out. He will hunt you down and arrest you. Jesus is keeping track of everything you think, do, or say. Jesus is the greatest Teacher that ever lived. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Sitting at the feet of Jesus Christ is where you will learn the most. Jesus Christ is the greatest Guide that ever lived. He will show where to go when you are lost and confounded.

When Christ returns at the Second Advent, Jesus will be the greatest World Leader that ever lived (Psalm 8:1; 33:8; 47:2; 72:19; Isaiah 12:5; 54:5; Zechariah 14:9). Rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ's Highness (Isaiah 13:3). Rejoice when Jesus Christ is exalted, magnified, and lifted up. His enemies shall lick the dust, they shall bow down to Him with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of His feet, and they shall know that He is the LORD, and they shall be afraid of Him. They shall not be ashamed that wait for Jesus Christ (Psalm 72:9; Isaiah 49:23; Micah 7:17). You won't laugh at or cuss Jesus Christ on that Day. Jesus will be the greatest King that ever lived. He is KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS (I Timothy 6:15). It shouldn't bother you to think that Jesus Christ will have absolute, complete control over your life, because He should have it right now. Right now, either Jesus Christ is on the throne of your heart, or you are on the throne. Be wise now - bow your knees to Jesus Christ, and let Him be your God, and let Him have supreme rule over your life (Colossians 1:18; 3:15). Jesus is The Great (Jeremiah 32:18).
