Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you have crucified.

16 And He [Jesus] has...a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Almost two thousand years have passed since the Lord Jesus Christ resurrected. During the past two thousand years the history of mankind has proved that nothing can destroy or remove this Christ from His place in the world. Kings and conquerors have instituted calendars to commemorate their reigns, but the only calendar that has remained is the calendar of Christ. Today, in the East and in the West, from the most industrialized nation to the most backward country, everyone uses the universal calendar, the calendar of Christ. Without realizing it, the whole world is acknowledging that Christ is the only Monarch and the supreme Ruler.

When the Jews killed Jesus, they thought that disciples who surrounded Him would be dispersed in a short time. Little did they expect that in less than two months the situation would be completely turned and thousands would be converted to Christ. The Roman Empire despised the little communities of Christians and thought that its mighty imperial power could squash such a feeble movement in no time. Little did it realize that in less than four centuries the followers of Jesus the Nazarene would spread over its entire domain like wildfire, even to the point of swallowing up the Empire itself. The communists seventy-five years ago proclaimed that Christianity would die within that generation. Today in Russia, in China, and in America, millions of Christians are testifying to the faith that they have found in Jesus Christ. The Christian faith is not dead. On the contrary, it is more alive than at any other time in history. All this once again proves that Jesus Christ is God and that He lives forever.
