The Christian Is Another Jesus

A friend of mine, a priest, spent fourteen years in a communist prison and was tortured intensely because he always preached Christ to the prisoners.  When he was released, he met a boy on the street and said to him, 'Do you believe in Christ?' 'No,' said the little boy, 'I don't.' 'Why not?' "Well, you believe that Jesus is God, don't you?"  If Jesus is God, he ought to be able to do many things.  God made elephants.  Elephants make other elephants.  God made trees, and trees make other trees. God made flowers, and flowers make other flowers. If Jesus is God, therefore, he ought to be able to make other Jesuses. But I have never seen another Jesus. My father was an alcoholic; my mother takes in washing.  She's never given me anything; no one has ever given me anything, so I don't believe that Jesus is God.' My friend went to another pastor in the village and told him what the boy had said.  The pastor said, 'Oh, that silly idiot of a kid.' But he wasn't an idiot, he was right.  If Jesus is God, he ought to be able to make other Jesuses. And that's what we are.
