There once was a man who was born in a remote village of a simple woman. He grew up in another unfamiliar village and into their thirty years was a joiner. Then for three years he became a ghost ship stuck preacher.
He never wrote a book. Never stand for any function. Never been married and never owned a house. He never went to school. Never set foot in the modern metropolis. Never left here more than two hundred miles from his birthplace. Never were unable to obtain anything that modern society considered as an indication of size. He had no letters of recommendation, only himself.
He was only 33 years old when against him, she picked up a wave of public opposition. His friends from him, ran away and one of them denied that he knew him. Was issued to his enemies by one of his close associates and had to undergo a forged court process. He was nailed to the cross between two thieves. When he died, the executioner drew lots for His only earthly possessions – robe. When he died, they took Him out and laid in a borrowed tomb thanks to the compassion of a friend.
It’s been twenty century and is still considered to be the largest source of guidance and divine inspiration, to which mankind clings.
I’m sure I won’t be far from the truth when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the naval fleet that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat with; and all the kings that ever ruled over, not affected the life of man on Earth more powerfully than this one life – the life of Jesus.
– James Allan Francis
