Why Jesus?
When Jesus arrived two thousand years ago, His physical attributes wasn’t what attracted the people. His believability drew them; His straightforward honesty, and the force of His words. The hurting and damaged discovered in Him their healing. Their condition called for a transforming miracle, and Jesus was the answer.
Not wanting their prestige or authority altered, the church leaders turned from Him blocking out visible miracles and wonders He performed. They viewed Him as a threat to their first love, self. His pureness of nature showed the world the contrast between their corrupt lives and His. Their pride closed the door to His entreating voice.
If you are analyzing your position between the world and God consider the distinctions.

where the good way is; and walk in it,
and find rest for your souls.
