History, philosophy,
theology, and—in many centers of learning—even the sciences are being studied
to discover what they have to say about Jesus Christ. The records of the Early
Church are being reexamined for their testimony to Him. Archaeologists are digging
to discover new evidence.
Some say that Jesus Christ
is a myth, and He never existed in history. Others say that He was merely a
man, that there was nothing supernatural about His birth, and that His
resurrection was a hallucination. Others talk about a Christless Christianity.
Some say that no matter what one thinks about Christ, it does not affect
Christianity. They are wrong!
Christianity is forever
linked with the Person of Christ. Carlyle recognized this when he said, “Had
this doctrine of the deity of Christ been lost, Christianity would have
vanished like a dream.” The historian Lecky remarks, “Christianity is not a
system of morals, it is the worship of a Person.”
