Comparing my life with Jesus

Ya….that guy who got himself kill in that movie...’Passion of the Christ’...or was he the guy that married Mary Magdalene in that book ‘The Da Vinci Code’? So many arguments have revolved around him and so many other people got famous because of Him...at least Dan Brown did.

According to the Bible, He started preaching at the age of 30 and died on the cross at 33. In such a short time...3 and half years, why is this one man have such a great impact on us in our world today?

Did you know the meaning of BC and AD which always appear in the years? I found this in one of the website:

“It is commonly thought that BC stands for "before Christ" and AD stands for "after death." This is only half correct. How could 1 B.C. have been "before Christ" and 1 A.D. been "after death"? BC does stand for "before Christ." AD actually stands for the Latin phrase "anno domini" which means "in the year of our Lord." The B.C. / A.D. dating system is not taught in the Bible. It actually was not fully implemented and accepted until several centuries after Jesus' death.

It is interesting to note that the purpose of the BC / AD dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. However, when the B.C. / A.D. system was being calculated, they actually made a mistake in pinpointing the year of Jesus' birth. Scholars later discovered that Jesus was actually born in around 4-6 BC, not 0 AD. That is not the crucial issue. The birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Christ are the "turning points" in world history. It is fitting, therefore, that Jesus Christ be the separation of "old" and "new." BC was "before Christ" and since His birth, we have been living "in the year of our Lord." Philippians 2:10-11, "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Wow...this really got me to question who this guy is. Died at the age of 33 and was able to have such an impact to the world...amazing.
