One Solitary Life

He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman.
He grew up in still another village, where he worked in a carpenter's shop till he was thirty.
Then for three years he was an itinerant preacher.

He never wrote a book.
He never held an office.
He never had a family or owned a house.
He didn't go to college.
He never visited a big city.
He never travelled two hundred miles from the place where he was born.
He did none of the things one usually associates with greatness.
He had no credentials but himself.

He was only thirty-three when the tide of public opinion turned against him.
His friends ran away.
He was turned over to his enemis and went through the mockery of a trial.
He was nailed to a cross between two thieves.
While he was dying, his executioners gambled for his clothing,
the only property he had on earh.
When he was dead he was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.

Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today he is the central figure of the
human race and the leader of mankind's progress. All the armies that ever marched,
all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat,
all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man on this earth
as much as that ONE SOLITARY LIFE.

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared Him..
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honoured to serve such a Leader who loves us!
