I know men; and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force! Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him. — Napoleon Bonaparte.

Wow. Just catching up on your posts and read this. It blew me away. I can't even imagine Napolean thinking about Jesus. How incredible that he realized the difference between his empire and the kingdom of Christ.
Yeah, I never thought Napoleon would be my devotional reading for the day!
