He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village, where he worked in a carpenter shopuntil he was thirty. Then for three years he was an itinerant preacher.
until He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never traveled more than two hundred miles from the place where he was born. He did none of the things one usually associates with greatness. He was only thirty-three when the tide of public opinion turned against 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. Then for three years When he was dead, he was an itinerantlaid in a borrowed grave.
preacherNineteen centuries have come and gone, and today he is a central figure of the human race and leader of mankind's progress. All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the kings that ever reigned have not affected the life of man as much as that One Solitary Life. And that man is Jesus Christ, the incarnation of God.
