Building an Empire
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but on what foundation did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded an empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
Conquerors of old wage war to steal, kill, destroy and to build empires from lands that does not belong to them. They take what they want by force. They rule by fear instilled in their people. They have loyalty but few genuine ones. Their empire rise and fall again and again. Their conquests lie deep in the history books.
The greatest "conqueror" of all time did not build his empire upon force or violence. He came and turned things upside down and inside out, challenging every known practices of his time. He did what no one dares to do. Out of love, an empire was born. And until this day, the empire still lives and reigns and grows.
Only one person's blood was shed in building this everlasting empire - Jesus Christ's.
And He rose again, proving that He is more than a conqueror.
Today He lives in us.
What are you going to do?
