Jesus came to change the world. By all estimates, He did a terrific job. Not only did He leave His mark on human hearts, He also left His mark on human history, dividing it between BC and AD.
His influence is even seen in the names we’ve given many places around the globe.
Even if you’re not a world traveler, you’re probably familiar with most of the places listed below. Though these places are located in different time zones and on different continents, they have one thing in common: they’re named after Jesus or someone who lived their life for Him. Take a look:
