Jesus: My Favorite Historical Figure – Written by Eyewitnesses

Posted on by The Message Bearer

Who is your favorite historical figure?

In a world filled with countless historical figures, Jesus stands out as my absolute favorite. What makes Jesus so remarkable is not only His profound teachings, but the fact that His life and ministry were documented by eyewitnesses. The Bible, God’s Word, provides a firsthand account of Jesus’ life, revealing His extraordinary impact on humanity. Join me as we explore why Jesus is my favorite historical figure, supported by relevant Bible verses.

1. Jesus’ Miracles:

One of the most captivating aspects of Jesus’ life was His ability to perform miracles. These supernatural acts showcased His divine authority and compassion. In the book of John, we read about Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1-11). This miracle demonstrated His power over the elements, leaving a lasting impression on those who witnessed it.

2. Jesus’ Teachings:

Jesus’ teachings were revolutionary, filled with wisdom and love. In the Sermon on the Mount, He spoke about the blessings of humility, mercy, and peacemaking (Matthew 5:3-9). His words continue to inspire and guide people today, offering a path to a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.

3. Jesus’ Sacrificial Love:

The ultimate display of Jesus’ love for humanity was His sacrificial death on the cross. In John 15:13, Jesus says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” His selfless act of atonement offers forgiveness and salvation to all who believe in Him.

4. Jesus’ Resurrection:

The resurrection of Jesus is a pivotal event in history. After His crucifixion, Jesus conquered death and rose from the grave. The apostle Paul emphasizes the significance of this event in 1 Corinthians 15:17: “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” Jesus’ resurrection assures us of eternal life and victory over death.

5. Jesus’ Transformational Power:

Throughout His ministry, Jesus transformed the lives of those He encountered. The story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector, demonstrates this power of transformation (Luke 19:1-10). Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus led to repentance and a complete change of heart. This narrative reminds us that Jesus has the power to transform our lives, no matter our past or present circumstances.

Jesus, my favorite historical figure, is not just a mere human who existed in the past; He is the Son of God who continues to impact lives today. The eyewitness accounts recorded in the Bible provide a firsthand testimony of His miraculous deeds, profound teachings, sacrificial love, and victorious resurrection. As we delve into the life of Jesus, we discover a figure whose influence transcends time and leaves an indelible mark on our hearts. May we continually seek Him, learn from Him, and follow in His footsteps.

Hi, I’m Cornelius Bella. Welcome to My Corner of the Internet. I’m a Christian writer, blogger, and lifelong seeker of Biblical truth. At CorneliusBella.blog, I share reflections, revelations, and real-life stories shaped by faith, rooted in Scripture, and driven by a deep hunger for God’s presence. For me, spirituality isn’t a Sunday activity—it’s the heartbeat of everyday life. I believe God’s presence is not just a theological concept but a living, breathing reality we can experience moment by moment. One of my guiding prayers is this: “May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God’s presence—and not a moment without the entire surrender of myself to Him.” If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place. On my blog, I write about prayer, meditation, surrender, gratitude, and the kind of faith that transforms not just what we believe, but how we live. I explore how spiritual principles can help us navigate pain, find purpose, and live with deeper joy—even in the middle of life’s uncertainties. But more than that, I write to connect. To build a community of believers who are hungry for more of God. Who want to grow, not just in knowledge, but in intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Who are tired of surface-level religion and ready to live from the inside out. So whether you’re wrestling with big questions or just looking for encouragement to keep walking by faith—I’d love for you to join the journey. Subscribe, share your thoughts, and let’s grow together in grace, truth, and the joy of God’s presence. Let’s live fully surrendered. Let’s walk by faith. Let’s seek Him—daily.
