Recently I watched again the movie
"Benhur".
Benhur was a soldier contemporary to
Jesus. The charriot race of the film is the best one till date in the Hollywood films.
Well, we are not going to talk about
that race or the Hollywood .
In one of the scenes, Jesus would be
offering water to Benhur. And Benhur got a chance to reciprocate in the last
scenes to offer water to Jesus while He was carrying the cross. But he could
not.
Jesus is the ultimate one to show
love to everyone. In the same Benhur movie at climax we can see the blood from
the wounds of Jesus healing the lepors. Throughout the movie the director was
so brilliant that he did not show the face of Jesus!
Through bible we could understand
that Jesus loved the poor and weak. He himself being son of a carpenter He chose
fishermen shepherds and like, as His followers!
He rescued the poor Magdalen when
the people got ready to stone her to death as she was declared as a sinner. The famous saying "The one who didn't commit a sin throw the
first stone" by Jesus saved her life and she became her follower.
Jesus couldn't differentiate anybody
to show his affection and love. He was so magnanimous that He cared for those
who were neglected from the society.
The world was so cruel that teeth
for teeth, blood for blood was the rule. That's why when he started preaching
love in a layman's language it reached millions! He inspired the people to
love.
Love, love and love that was the
principle teaching of Jesus!
He said he would change water to wine.
Any water contaminates after a
period of time. But more the time the wine is stored, the better would be the
quality of the wine. That is the reason he used such words that the poor would
understand! Changing the ordinary
to everlasting enlightened!
He loved the thieves who were put on
the cross side by side along with him!
He would love the single kid of goat
that was left out in the fields and he would search for the kid with all the
force available!
He loved the woman who was thrown to
the street to die by stoning!
He loved the rich and poor!
There are millions of reasons to
love Jesus!
I love Jesus!
