Through the history, there has been a number of respectable people in each era. If I were to get into the time machine to travel back in time to meet any of famous people ever existed on the earth, I would definitely go to the time of Jesus which is about 2000 years ago. There are several reasons to support why I want to meet him the most.
First of all, Jesus had lived the consistent life; he not only kept promises but also lived the life of consistence. According to the New Testament, he is the messiah who came to the earth to save us from sin. The New Testament exactly proves that Jesus kept the promises by fulfilling the prophesies in the Old Testament and forgiving inhabitants’ sins by his crucifixion. In addition, He always lived in the way how the bible teaches; for example, he prayed and glorified his father’s name.
Second of all, he spent most of his time with the poor; instead of staying with the rich or the people in high position for his sake, he gave his life for the poor or the people in the corner who needed him for others’ sake. Since I was young, my grand father made me never forget to live for the poor. Inspired by his comments, I started to respect Jesus more from my childhood till nowadays.
In conclusion, Jesus is the person that I want to meet the most if I could travel back in time of early A.D. His life of consistence and sympathy for the poor has given me an impression and lessons in my life. Like one wisdom says, ‘History is a mirror of the present.’ I learn from the life he lived in the past. |
