WHEN Kelly Steinhaus visited Harvard Square to ask college students what they thought of Jesus, most answers were respectful of Him. One said He was "a person who took care of people." Another said, "He sounds like a cool guy." Others rejected Him outright: "He was just a guy. I don't think He was the Savior." And "I do not accept any faith system that says, I am the only way to God.'" Some people thoughtfully question who Jesus is and some reject Him.

As Jesus faced death 2,000 years ago, many people mocked the idea that He was anyone special. "They put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS'" (Matt. 27:37). Those who said, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself!" (v.40) were doubting His power. The religious people even said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save" (v.42).

In His death, Jesus may have seemed powerless. But when we read the whole story, we see that He gave His live willingly. He proved Himself to be the Son of God and limitless in power as He burst forth from the tomb. Grasp the value of His death and behold the power of His resurrection.
--Jesus is the Savior of the word! He is alive!
