I am a Muslim but I visit Christian web sites occationaly. I am glad to hear that my Christian brethern praise the wisdom of Jesus and consider him the world's greatest teacher. From where did Jesus get all these wisdom? He never went to college and he never got tutored by great philosophers. Jesus, as all prophets, were tutored by God Himself. God is the fount of everything - wisdom, knowledge, mercy etc. So for all the wisdom brought by Jesus, credit should be given to God.
Many centuries before Jesus, the world witnessed the coming of two great teachers. Budha in India and Confucious in China. They taught on a wide spectrum of topics - ethic, morality etc. Long after their teaching spread, a new phenomena started. Statues of Budha and Confucious were made and placed on altars in temples and homes. And people started praying to them !? Is the substance of their original teaching being preserved the way their statues are preserved?
Could the wisdom of Jesus go the same way as those of Budha and Confucious?
