Larry King Meets Jesus

Larry King is arguably the greatest interviewer of our time. What celebrity or political leader has not been on His show? Therefore, I found it a bit intriguing when I heard the story about the roles being reversed and the great interviewer became the interviewee. One day Larry King was asked, if he could interview anyone, who would it be? His response may surprise you. He said Jesus Christ. In an obvious follow up question, King’s interviewer responded, “What question would you ask Him?” King said, “I would like to ask Him if He was indeed virgin born, because the answer to that question would define history.”

How perceptive! Larry King is right. If Jesus is indeed someone special, the virgin-born, long-awaited Messiah, the very Son of God, then this changes everything. Listen to the Scriptures, Matthew 1:23: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which translated means ‘God with us.’” If Jesus is the virgin born Messiah, it means that God has penetrated our planet in human form. God has visited us and made Himself known to us in the clearest manner possible. In Jesus we have “God with us”. This forces a whole new perspective on history—on life. It changes everything. So I ask, has it changed you? Perhaps you need to reconsider the cataclysmic nature of the claims of Jesus Christ.

Something to think about from “The Kingdom Perspective.”
