Twelve Ways Jesus Changed the World
To most people, Jesus is a historical figure who was the founder of Christianity—but that is as far as it goes. Many have no idea that his most wonderful life had an unsurpassed effect on human history.
In fact, without the birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, life on planet earth would be incomprehensibly different from what it is today.
Let’s do some deeper thinking about the impact of the life of Jesus Christ. Here are twelve ways Jesus changed the world over the past two thousand years.
Willfully Stupid
While involved in daily Bible devotions this week from The Message translation, I came across a phrase describing fallen human beings that jumped off the page:
Willfully Stupid.
That same day the United States Senate released its long-awaited and clandestinely-formed bi-partisan “Endless Ukraine War–The Border Never Closes” bill (S.744).
It appears to be “Exhibit A” of our willfully stupid political leaders in Washington, D.C.
Here’s my take on both immigration and Jesus words on moral pollution.

Keep Jesus At the Center
One of the blessings of keeping a lifetime journal is celebrating “special days” on my Life Calendar.
On July 19,1973, God spoke to me, a bewildered but passionate twenty-year old, to become a “teacher of his Word” as part of my calling. I have fulfilled that assignment for the past fifty years in many settings around the world.
The most provocatively titled teaching I’ve ever given is called “The Secret of Happiness.”
It has to do with putting Jesus at the CENTER of your life.
