The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived

By Dr. Ron Jones

Who is the greatest man who ever lived? A question like that could spur a long debate among scientists, humanists, business and political leaders, even religious leaders. Of course, you would expect a pastor like me to say, Jesus. 

Arguably, Jesus of Nazareth is the greatest man who ever lived. I say this emphatically, even though Jesus said John the Baptist was the greatest man born among women for the way he served (7:28). Jesus is the greatest, not only because of the way He served humanity but also because He is the perfect God-man, something even the greatest humanist must concede. 

Jesus was not God alone or man alone; He was fully human and fully divine in a unified existence.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is above all. No one can ever equal Him. Thanks.

It baffles me that people would equate Jesus with religious leaders and notable men on Earth. How can you compare a maker with HIS product? This is like asking Satan and God who's stronger? And that is an abomination for any man to think it not to talk of asking. To start with, let us remove the Lord Jesus from this Subject of the greatest man who ever live. Because HE'S more than man. People like King Solomon, Moses, John the Baptist, Mohammad, Confucius, Buddha, Newton, Albert Einstein, etcetera. Yeah! I imagine how the world would have been without them. They were so wise that their words became law, and their law became criteria. They invented so many things and discovered so many things and did all they could to make life better. But. There is always one end to all their heroic efforts. That is " and they Died." And never to rise. Only Our Lord Jesus Christ defeated the death that defeated these men. Solomon needed Jesus to resurrect him. Moses too, John the Baptist. And others will never rise. Surely THE LORD JESUS IS THE GREATEST ONE THAT EVER AND WILL EVER LIVE.

سلام! اینقدر کارت خوبه که میترسم با حرف زدن خرابش کنم! لطفا بیشتر از خدا کمک بخواه و هدایت در مورد شناخت حضرت پیامبر. یادت باشه اون وسط ها یه نسخه خیلی خفن هست تا وقتی به شاه بیت غزل برسیم به اون نت آخر سمفونی الهی خداوند. البته که هنوز هم به اون نت نهایی نرسیدیم مگه نه؟ اما آخرین نت در صفحه پیامبران، انچاست که عشقی ویژه تو انجاست

When it comes to background and people search, I think it’s less about snooping and more about wanting peace of mind. Whether it’s checking out someone you’re about to hire, or even just reconnecting with an old friend, having reliable info matters. Peoplesmart reviews really highlight how different people feel about using these services—some found it helpful, others had mixed experiences. To me, that’s a reminder to balance the tech side of searching with a bit of common sense and caution. Information is useful, but how you use it is what really counts.

Jesus prayed to God so he isn’t God and God can’t die. This is the opinion from a christian. Google it it will say the prophet Muhammad ﷺ on many pages

Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Romans 8:28 MSG

I have been listening to Something Good Radio for several weeks. I gain new insights weekly that I can apply to my life. After a recent broadcast, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God's grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.

Thank you so much for preaching the unchanging and powerful word of God every day on the airwaves. My wife and I are originally from India, and now live in Melbourne, Australia. . . . We love to listen to you breaking the Bread of Life. Keep upholding the word of truth in an increasingly dark and dying world.

Something Good happened to me this morning. I listened to Ron's broadcast from last week and feel a renewed sense of hope and encouragement! It was exactly what I needed to hear―to be reminded that our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow will answer my prayers.

Ron's messages on Something Good Radio have brought me back to God and have led me to rededicate my life to Him.

I just want to take this moment to thank the Lord for what He is doing through you. ... We are thoroughly blessed by the wonderful expository preaching! There is so much more I could say, but I will end here. Thank you. my dear brother, so much.

Your program on the radio is great. I listen to you all the time. Truckers, van drivers and all deliverers are being saved listening to the programs you come up with. God bless you and continue to broadcast more salvation programs for all those on the road, at home, and at work.

My dad passed away. While driving home, I happened upon your radio show. You talked about redemption. I normally would not have listened, but I was intrigued by what I heard. I want to hear more. I’m not a religious person but I couldn’t turn the program off. I want to learn more.
