You can see how powerful, and enduring Jesus' message is through Pope Francis. And that the measure of [real] power is the opposite of what men perceive it to be!
The so called "soft power" of: Humility, Faith and Love is an all positive force that always grows, and grows. While "temporal power" greedily, and continually grows and dies
over the millennia in a viscous never ending cycle riddled with evil, pain and suffering. Its easy to see why most people are drawn to the message of Peace, Hope and Love!
Nations will rise, and fall. But the Church of Christ endures!
For all the evil that men do for personal gain... on either side of the religious line, Jesus' message of truth is still loud & clear. And is very much desired by the masses.
And always will be! Or, for as long as the message remains the same.
The Paradox of Pope Francis's Power
Jesus said that he had been sent only to the Jews.
True, He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."Matthew 15:24
But Jesus intention was that he came for the Jews,and then the Jews spread it to the world but they did not listion.but not all of them listioned.
Jesus came to save everybody (1 John 2:2). Jesus Christ is God Himself (John 1:1). Jesus died on the cross as the payment for all our sins, and He rose from death in resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).
