Sometimes people have tried to compare Jesus to other great men like Gandhi, the great Indian teacher. And they have said that Jesus, like Gandhi, was just a good man, a holy man. But about 30 years after Gandhi died someone wrote a book about him and his disciples, those people who followed him. They wrote down every word he said, more than 400 books written about the life of Gandhi, but 30 years after he was dead his disciples were scattered and they were following other teachers and they were following other causes and they could hardly be found. But 2,000 years and the fame of Jesus is still spread across the earth. And rather than diminishing, it is intensifying until more and more people are bowing before him and claiming him and how else can you explain the fame of Jesus except in the words of this centurion, “Surely, he was the Son of God.”
