The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived Affects Us and our Future

Who has not heard of the greatest man who ever lived, Jesus Christ? Or about "The Last Supper" or The Lord's Evening Meal?  Indeed, Jesus is known throughout the world as the Great Teacher and the Miracle Worker. Even those who don't have faith in him acknowledge his existence and his role in history.

A few days ago, I asked some university students if they believed in Jesus. They replied, "No." I then followed up my question with, "But have you studied about him in some of your subjects, like history?" This time they answered yes. And some of them expressed their desire to learn more about him.

From this single incident, we can see that Jesus has indeed carved an indelible image of himself on the pages of history, which the whole world can clearly see. Even though many people deny his existence, the innumerable effects of his past existence to the world today are indisputable. 

Now, many people throughout the world remember the events that took place before and after his death. They commemorate the day when he gave his life in our behalf. He willingly sacrificed his life so that we will attain the wonderful future that his Father has promised to His human creations from the beginning. It is an eternal life which became possible only through Jesus' ransom sacrifice.

But even now, his life, teachings and death have greatly influenced and benefited us in many ways. Only those who truly search for him and his Father, and those who keep following them, will perfectly understand the wonderful benefits that come from the knowledge that they acquire as a result of their search.

The link below will direct us to a very interesting and soul-stirring article concerning the effects of Jesus' life and death to us. Spending just a few minutes to read it will be a life-changing experience.

Capturing the Colors of Light

Have you seen the colors of light? Well, we can see them the whole time through the rainbows, sprays of waterfalls in the sunlight, prismatic objects, and many other things.

One day, I again discovered some interesting fact about the snow in relation to light. I can't help myself gazing at the snow, and I as I gazed longer and more intensely, I noticed that the glitters were not just white or silver, but were of different colors. As I shifted my gaze, the colors kept on interchanging too. 

So I came to understand that the prisms of the snow crystals individually reflect the colors of light so that all different colors are spread out all over the snow. The effect is so mesmerizing that I keep on shifting my perspective to watch the colorful glitters and get the effect like they are dancing. It's truly a wonderful sight and it's hard for me to take my eyes off it. 

I couldn't let such beauty pass, and so I tried to capture it with several shots through my camera. This is another wonder of creation that I want to freeze forever.

Here are a couple of photos that I took.

If a Man Dies, Can He Live Again?

All of us feel the pain of losing a loved one. If possible, we want to spend our lifetime together with the ones we truly love. But then, man's worst enemy, death, keeps on ruthlessly devouring anyone in its path. But its victory is short-lived. Soon, it will be stripped of power over mankind.

We will all be freed from its grip, and we will be able to say, "Death, where is your sting?" In the link below, we will find the answer to the question, If a man dies, can he live again? It will tell us what hope there is for the dead ones, and how those who are alive will also benefit from such knowledge.
