The other day, when the entire world was celebrating X’mas, I was thinking about one of the most captivating person ever known to mankind, that is Jesus Christ. No, I wasn’t actually thinking about him. I was thinking about the way his followers created a well thought-out group, a religion which is not really based on Christ’s preaching or philosophy but overly dependent on his resurrection. But why would we need some miracle stories to understand the meaning of the great wisdom he had shown to us? Does it really matter, whether Christ was an average Joe or son of god. Yes it may matter for some. But for me, the greatness of Christ is the fact that he was indeed, a humble carpenter, who showed astonishing ability to solve some of the problems they (we) had. He was a fearless man. But we are not. We need a strong conviction to understand the great knowledge he shared with us. For most of us, the best parts of Jesus Christ’s life are his holy birth and renaissance. Church used these miracles to a great degree to broaden the religion beyond boundaries. It’s regrettable to depict Jesus Christ as a mere magician who did some unthinkable. His cries echoed at 'Golgotha' shouldn’t go unnoticed. But the stupendous popularity of Christianity and influence of Church made him a cult figure, which overshadowed his simple, yet powerful philosophy, the philosophy of love.
