Could This Have Saved Jesus?
"Jesus, we're not very impressed by these grandiose claims and megalomaniac tendencies of yours!"
[Luke 4:16 ff: He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read... 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me...to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind...to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.' Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, and he began by saying to them, 'Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.']
"Jesus, we're going to let you off with a warning this time. But the court does require you to join a fine organization that helps troubled boys like you straighten out their lives. Turns them into good citizens. It's called the Y.M.C.A.: the Young Men's Christian Association. We're confident that it will do you a lot of good and stop you from getting into any more trouble.... By the way, does anyone know what 'Christian' means?"

Israeli Man Greater Miracle Than Creation Itself!
"It is by far the most amazing miracle of the entire Bible--far more
amazing than the resurrection and more amazing even than the creation
of the universe. The fact that the infinite, omnipotent, eternal Son
of God could become man and join himself to a human nature forever, so
that infinite God became one person with finite man, will remain for
eternity the most profound miracle and the most profound mystery in
all the universe." - from the chapter our elders are studying this week in
Wayne Grudem, Bible Doctrine, p 246.
