The Radical Disciple ...

John R. W. Stott in his last book, The Radical Disciple: Some Neglected Aspects of Our Calling , had this to say ...

"For he is unique in his incarnation (the one and only God-man), unique in his atonement (only he has died for the sins of the world), and unique in his resurrection (only he has conquered death). And since in no other person but Jesus of Nazareth did God first become human (in his birth), then bear our sins (in his death), and then triumph over death (in his resurrection), he is uniquely competent to save sinners. Nobody else possesses his qualifications.

So we may talk about Alexander the Great, Charles the Great and Napoleon the Great, but not Jesus the Great. He is not the Great—he is the Only. There is nobody like him. He has no rival and no successor."

Nancy Leigh DeMoss asks the question, Who is Jesus to You? This is an excellent article.
