A giant Jesus statue has been erected in Poland this month and this is the biggest in the world. This $ 1.5 million statue has the height of 40.4 meter ( 133 foot).A polish Roman Catholic priest came up with this idea and completed his mission by acquiring sponsors.
This has divided the Catholic community in Poland. Supporters of this project are delighted and say that this statue will attract tourist and raise money for good causes. The opponents say that this costly project has nothing to do with teaching of Jesus and sends wrong messages about Jesus.
I do agree with the opponents as Jesus never wanted heights and came down to earth from heaven. he always reminded his disciples that the greatness of his kingdom is not measured as world measures it and certainly its not by heights.
