The STAR of All Stars

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they. 5 For to which of the angels did He ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten You"? And again, "I will be a Father to Him and He shall be a Son to Me"? 6 And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, "And let all the angels of GOD worship Him." 7 And of the angels He says, "who makes His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire." 8 But of the Son He says, "Your throne, O GOD, is forever and ever, and the righteous is the scepter of His Kingdom. 9 "You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore GOD, your GOD, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions." 10 And, "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands…” Hebrews 1:1-10

Since man’s advancement in the respective sciences have been such a slow process—particularly in the publishing of magazines that compares and contrasts human beings in their eloquent looks, abilities and accomplishments achieved through the doors of research laboratories—it nevertheless prevented Christ from becoming a participant in the billboard chart of a well reputed sports magazine. Not because He is not worthy to be stamped as the greatest man of all times but it occurs by the works of the Holy Spirit who suppressed the pride of the magazine’s chief executive while also using it as a another medium by which the name of JESUS has been lifted up in order to serve as a testimony even unto the most atheistic mind.

If most of the current magazines were already in circulation during the first century era, Christ would have been the most effortlessly published human being of all centuries. HE would have been the top contender as:

  • The incomparable superhuman in SUPERhuman

  • The most bizarre prophet in Twilight Zone

  • The man who walked through the most villages [National Geographic]

  • In "Archaeology" as HE whose bones cannot be dug out of the ground because HE outlived the “Second Death.”

  • The unfailing healer who healed without ever making a diagnostic of HIS patients [Modern Medicine]

  • [SCIENCE] HE whose body overcame all types of viruses, bacteria and never suffered from high blood pressure, anemia, amnesia, diabetes, seizures, epilepsy etc.

  • The “seed of David” in [SEED]

  • The “Master Builder and Light” of the World in [COSMOS]

  • The man with the best handwriting in [Arts & Science] John 8:6 “But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.”

  • The man who was taken to heaven without the use of a spaceship [NASA]

  • The man who never dressed up [GQ]

  • The man who split the red sea and walked on water in [SEA HISTORY]

  • The wealthiest man with no bank account who withdrew money from the mouth of a fish. [FORTUNE]

  • The greatest preacher who never wrote down HIS sermons [Preaching]

  • The greatest lawyer who never took the “bar exam” [THE LAWYER]

  • The greatest teacher who never attended college [TEACHER]

  • The greatest lover of the entire human race (righteous and wicked) [LOVE]
