ONE SOLITARY
LIFE
Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child
of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village. He
worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for
three years He was an itinerant preacher.
He never owned a home. He never wrote a book. He never held
an office. He never had a family. He never went to college.
He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled
two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never did
one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had
no credentials but Himself...
While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned
against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him.
He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the
mockery of a trial. He was nailed upon a cross between two
thieves. While He was dying His executioners gambled for
the only piece of property He had on earth – His
coat. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave
through the pity of a friend.
Nineteen long centuries have come and gone, and today He is
a centerpiece of the human race and leader of the column of
progress.
I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies
that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built; all
the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever
reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man
upon this earth as powerfully as has that one solitary
life.
