Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley was, to many people, an idol. They looked up to him and tried to be like him. He was a great musician, many people knew him. He has been dead for a number of years now, but is still remembered. His music and what he did has been passed down to children and grandchildren alike. How long will he be remembered? Probably many years from now. As I listen to people talk about hearing him speak and sing, I wonder what it would be like to hear him myself. All this leads me to another thought, there was another man who brings even more awe to his crowds  than Elvis Presley. Thousands of people came from all around just to hear Jesus speak. What would it be like to hear him speak? Certainly more interesting than Elvis Presley. Why is it then that people would prefer Elvis? I think because Elvis had great stories, Jesus had great Truth. People want a good time without being corrected. With Elvis they can say "That is what he did but I think he was wrong.", With Jesus they cannot do this.
