A lonely life
 He
never wrote a book, He never held a position, He never had His own family,
or owned a house. He did not go to university, He never visited a great
city, He never travelled further than 200 miles from His place of birth.
He never did any of the things which are usually associated with greatness.
He had no references other than
Himself. He had just reached the age of 33 when the mass of public opinion
turned against Him. His friends forsook Him, He was handed over to His
enemies, and He had to bear the mockery of a public court proceedings.
He was nailed on a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His
hangmen played to see who would get his clothing - the only possession
He had on this earth. When He was dead, He was placed in a borrowed
grave as a result of a friend having compassion for Him.
Twenty centuries have gone by
since that time; and, today, He is a central personality among people
and a leader of human progress.
All the armies who marched, all
the naval armed forces who navigated the sea, all the parliaments who
had sessions, and all the kings who ever reigned - all of them together
were unable to influence human life on earth like this one solitary
life...
