Jesus was born in an obscure village, the child of a pleasant woman. He
grew up in another obscure village where he worked in a carpenter’s shop until
he was thirty. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a
family, or owned a house. He never went to college. He never visited a big
city. He never travelled more than two hundred miles from the place where he
was born. He did none of those things one usually associated 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. One of them denied him. He was turned over to his
enemies and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross
between two thieves. While dying, his executioners gambled for his clothing,
the only property he had on earth. 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 have 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 on earth of mankind as powerfully as that one solitary life. His name
is Jesus. (Author unknown)
