I just finished the book Jesus Among Other Gods by Ravi Zacharias. This book is well written but more importantly it answers hard questions. I remember thinking earlier in my life that if there are so many people in the world and there are so many religions in the world how could I possibly ever discover the one that is true? This book has given me peace of mind because the author grew up in India where there are as many "gods" as there are things in the world. He explains how Jesus is unique among the other religions and religious leaders and gives convincing proof for why he alone is the true God. I will share just a few things that make Jesus so amazingly unique:
1) No other person in all of history has ever seriously claimed to have no beginning and to have come from heaven.
2)No other person in all of history has ever claimed to be without sin or error. Jesus did! He urged his false accusers to just bring up one instance in which he was guilty of wrongdoing and they couldn't!
3)Jesus' message is unique because what he taught pointed to himself! Unlike Buddha, Mohammed, and Krishna who pointed their followers to something that was more powerful than themselves. Jesus was identical to his message! Who else ever said, "I am the resurrection and the life" "I am the true bread that came down out of heaven" "I and my Father are one" "I am the way, the truth, and the life" ?
