One solitary life, just a reminder of greatness.

Here is a man who was born in a small town, the baby of a poor woman woman. He grew up in an obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty, and then for three years he was an traveling teacher.

He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never traveled, except when He was just a small baby, more than two hundred miles from the place where he was born. He never did one of the things that most people consider a sign of greatness. He had no credentials but himself.

While he was still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied him. He was turned over to his enemies. He went through a sham of a trial. He was nailed on a cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property he had on earth, his robe. When he was dead, he was taken down from the cross and laid in a borrowed grave through the courtesy of a friend.

Nineteen long centuries have come and gone, and today he is the centerpiece of the human race and the leader of all human progress. I am well within reason when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever were built, all the political powerhouses that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has this one solitary personality. His name is Jesus…..Name above all names!
