His basic message of love has been distorted for thousands of years. Even today people want to dismiss his existence; they are no different than those that persecuted Him when he was alive.
For it was told that He was here. He did exist on this earth and walk among the people challenging them to have faith and see the light within. Many thought he was crazy, a lunatic of his time. How could a man, of flesh and blood, profess such claims that he, a son of a carpenter, could possibly be the son of God? His cause was not to anger others or create hatred and separation. He was here to spread peace, love, hope and kindness. How can such a man stand on an island, as a soldiery figure, believe he was sent from God almighty? What was it that stirred in his soul to have this faith, this passion to comprehend that his ultimate calling was to preach his father's name to crowds of thousands and eventually take up the cross and die for their sins. Do you believe such a man existed? Even if you want to dismiss the notion of Jesus Christ, think to yourself, why are we still speaking of this man; a man who supposedly spoke in public for three short years, in small villages. There were no cars to transport him town to town, only his legs. There were no newspapers, internet or telephones to spread his message. If ever there was a man to be overlooked by history, it was Jesus Christ. How could one man’s life impact humanity to a greater extent than any other person or any series of events in history?
How could so many be so blind to what he stood for? How can love and peace be interpreted as misguided values and teachings? If this man was to walk the earth today would we treat him the same way? Would we consider him an outcast, a flake, a lunatic? Maybe he is already here, walking among us, listening and learning how men and women have changed or not changed since the last time he was here. He could be in China, India, Iraq or Africa, who knows.
Maybe if we Google God we can find a place to start our search for Him. Deep in our hearts we know this is an unrealistic approach. The journey to find God will not begin with an internet search engine, it can only start and move forward with hope and faith. Living through adversity and life’s experience will enable us to find the road, the alley way that leads to his domain. During this journey our belief and faith must be strengthened by an unwillingness to give up; to carry on when those around us cast doubt, fear and lies to divert us from finding the truth.
Where do you think Jesus is today? Is he in the heartland of America, the great forests of Russia, the beautiful beaches of Indonesia, the jungles of South America, the deserts of the Middle East, sailing the great oceans or walking the great plains of Africa? He is in all these places. There is no need to search so far and wide, for the truth is he is with you, in your heart and in your soul.

There is one sure way to find Jesus Christ: the Bible. "For the Word of God is living and active..." And Jesus Christ said it Himself, "The words that I speak to you...they are spirit and they are life."
Moses declared it thus: "These are not just idle words for you, they are your life." Once a person reads the Word of God, the seed of His Word starts to grow in his heart, because it is ALIVE.
Many who try to nullify the existence of God HAVE NEVER REALLY READ THE BIBLE. Those who refuse to never come to know the truth, but those who did, always ended up believing and experiencing the truth of God, the truth of Jesus Christ.
