Jesus Christ is the most incomparable personality of all human history.
Socrates taught forty years, Plato fifty, and Aristotle forty. Jesus' public ministry lasted less than three years, yet the influence of His life far outweighs the combined 130 years of the three gretest philosophers of all antiquity.
Jesus never painted a picture, yet some of the finest paintings of Raphael, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and many other artists found in Him their inspiration.
Jesus did not write poetry, but Dante Milton, and scores of the world's greatest poets have been inspired by Him like no other. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that the name of Jesus "Is not so much written as ploughed into the history of this world."
Jesus wrote no music, yet Haydn, Handel, Beethoven, Bach, Mendelssohn, and a myriad of others reached the highest perfection of melody in compositions about Him.
Jesus has affected human society like no other. The incomparable Christ is the good news. And what makes it such good news is that man is so undeserving but that God is so gracious.
