The Communist Position on Messiah

Sunday, November 8, 2020

A true story paraphrased. There was a believer imprisoned for his faith under Communist rule. He was being interrogated and tortured. "Give me one proof," his interrogator taunted him, "one proof that Jesus even existed. For you know He never did." The believer responded, "I only believe what the official Communist newspaper, "Pravda," says about Jesus. "What do you mean?" said the interrogator. "You have a paper right there," said the believer, "Tell me what it says... next to the title... those numbers..." The interrogator read outloud, "1951." "1951" said the prisoner, "1951 years from what? 1951 years from the birth of Jesus. This is the official Communist position. It cannot be based on a lie. So I'm only following the Communist position when I say that Jesus is real and His life is so important that we should base all other events upon it." If even the Communist newspaper, in effect, proclaimed the life of Messiah, how much more should you proclaim it, and spread it, and be bold about it, and unashamed. For Messiah is so real, that even His enemies proclaim Him... how much more must you... His friend.
