“The Torch of Christ” by Carl L. Lansdown is written to reveal the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and His journey while living on earth. His journey was filled with many obstacles, persecutions, bigotry, hatred, and racism.
Jesus was beaten, spat upon, and judged. He was truly treated unfairly. Ultimately, betrayal and hatred led Him to be put to death. Why? Because of His love for all mankind. However, before He was condemned to die, He chose twelve men (disciples) to journey with Him as He laid down the road map for all to follow who believe in Him.
Whatever difficulties you have faced, Jesus has pledged to never leave, forsake, or abandon you. He never promised that our life’s path would be simple. In fact, He said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
At the end of His life’s journey, Jesus met with His disciples on a mountain before being lifted up to heaven to be with God, His Father. Jesus tells His chosen disciples, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you; and I am with you always to the end of age” (Matthew 28:19).
This is when Jesus passed the torch to light up the world. The torch of Christ is a tiny footprint of His life’s journey. Through his journey, people will understand why we must believe and accept Him to pass on his word.
