Jesus cannot be compared to anyone else.

        Whichever human being one intends to examine, one will find shades of light and darkness.

        In some aspect of his life, he will have hesitated and slipped.

        That did not happen to Jesus.

        He is the Role Model given by God to all men.

        When he appeared on Earth, H e had already reached the apex of His evolution.

        Although fundamentally human, H e showed none of the faults common to men.

        That is exactly why He caused such an impact.

        As a Perfect Being, He did not let Himself be stained by human desires and prejudices.

        He transcended every addiction, even though filled with compassion for the poor addicted.

        His celestial wisdom confused the brightest minds of His time.

        Always peaceful, and yet constantly fighting hypocrisy.

        With no disrespect for the consciences of others, He showed the true essence of Divine Law.

        He valued women in a place where they had no rights.

        He treated the lepers, when everybody ran from them.

        He supported and guided the prostitutes, which were victims of intense contempt.

        He lived among people of ill reputation, without caring for criticism.

        He opened His arms to children, taken by their frailty and the purity they represent.

        He invested His time on the ignorant and the rude, always patient and well-meaning.

        He lived in the world, without belonging to the world.

        He supported, cared and enlightened all people, never getting himself soiled by the dirt around Him.

        Whichever the angle examined, the greatness of Jesus is impressive.

        He did not let Himself be touched by the prejudices of the times.

        He loved without expecting to be loved.

        He taught and lived compassion in a time of crude feelings and nasty habits.

        He employed magnetic and healing resources unknown even today.

        He put forward the idea of a future life, as a source of hope for all men.

        He replaced the idea of a cruel, vengeful God for a loving Father.

        He was a man without compare, above all others.

        And His invitation resounds through the centuries:

        Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

        Someday we must attend to the divine calling, break up with the mistakes of the past and march towards the light.

        Your moment might be right now!

        Think about it.
