Nearly 2000 years ago in an obscure village, a chile was born of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village where He worked as a carpenter until He was thirty. Then for 3 years He became an itinerant preacher.
This man never went to college or seminary. He never wrote a book. He never held public office. He never had a family nor owned a home. He never put His foot inside a big city not traveled even 200 miles from His birthplace. And though He never did any of the things that usually accompany greatness, throngs of people followed Him. He had no credentials but Himself.
While He was still young, the tide of public opinion turned against Him. His followers ran away. He was turned over to His enemies and sentenced to death on a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, his executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth- the simple coat He had worn. His body was laid in a borrowed grave provided by a compassionate friend.
But 3 days later this Man arose from the dead- living proof that He was, as He had claimed, the Savior whom God had sent, the Incarnate Son of God.
Nineteen centuries have come and gone and today the risen Lord Jesus Christ is the central figure of the human race. On our calendars his birth divides history into 2 eras. One day of every week is set aside in rememberance of Him. And our two most important holidays celebrate His birth and resurrection. On church steeples around the world, His cross has become the symbol of victory over sin and death.
This one Man's life has furnished the theme for more songs, books, poems, and paintings than any other person or event in history. Thousands of colleges, hospitals, orphanages and other institutions have been founded in honor of this One who gave his life for us. All the Armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the governments that ever sat, all the kinds that ever reigned have not change the course of history as much as this One Solitary Life.

I hope y'all enjoyed that as much as I did. I'm not gonna put a quote on the end of this post cuz I don't think that this could be improved in any way. Ciao! Oh and HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!
GOD BLESS,
