What allows Jesus to impact so many lives over thousands of years in nations across the earth? How can words that a Jewish Rabbi spoke two thousand years ago continue to impact the world today?

They point to the fact that their great father, Abraham died along with all the prophets of old – and yet He would live: how can this be? How can we understand this passage and what impact does it continue to have today?
