One Solitary Life
He was born in an obscure village.
He worked in a carpenter shop
until he was thirty.
He then became an itinerant preacher.
He never held an office.
He never had a family or owned a house.
He didn’t go to university.
He had no credentials but himself….
Twenty centuries have come and gone,
and today he is the central figure of the human race.
All the armies that ever marched,
all the navies that ever sailed,
all the parliaments that ever sat,
all the kings that ever reigned
have not affected the life of man on this earth
as much as that….
