Lent Day 2

The First Commandment is "I am The Lord thy God, thou shalt not have strange gods before Me". In the George Burns movie “Oh God”, the idea came up that Jesus was God’s Son, and so was Buddha and so was Mohammed, and so were others who were spiritual leaders for their people, indicating that Jesus was no more special than any of the others. However, did Buddha or Mohammed or others rise from the dead, or raise others from the dead, or instantly heal the sick, or walk on water, or perform many other such miracles? I think not, therefore it stands to reason that Jesus is indeed much more special than the others, and we had better pay attention to the things that He said, such as He is God’s only Son, and the only way to the Father, the only way to salvation is thru Him.
