More than 1900 years ago there was a man born contrary
to the laws of life.
The man lived in poverty and was
raised in obscurity. Only once did he cross the boundary
of the country in which he was raised and that was during
his exile in childhood.
In infancy he startled a King; in
childhood he puzzled doctors; in manhood he ruled the
course of nature--walked upon the sea as if on pavement
and hushed the storm to sleep. He never wrote a book,
and yet all the libraries of the country could not hold the
volumes of books that have been written about him. He
never wrote a song, yet he has furnished the theme for
more songs than all other topics combined.
He never
founded a college, but all the schools put together cannot
boast of having as many students.
The names of the past
proven statesmen of Greece and Rome have come and gone.
The names of the past scientists and philosophers and
theologians have come and gone; but the name of this man
abounds more and more. Though time has spread many years
between the people of this generation and the scene of his
death, yet he still lives! Herod could not destroy him and
the grave could not hold him.
He stands forth upon the
highest pinnacle of Heavenly glory, proclaimed of God,
acknowledged by angels, adorned by saints and feared by
devils as the living, personal Christ, our Lord and Savior-
-and our God!
