2One Solitary Life
That changed the world!
Adapted from a text by James A. Francis
3There was once a little boy who was born in an
obscure village, the child of a peasant woman.
4When He grew up He worked as a carpenter until He
was thirty, and then for three years He was an
itinerant preacher.
5He never wrote a book or held an office. He never
owned a home nor had a family.He never put His
foot inside a big city and never traveled two
hundreds miles from the place where He was born.
6He never did one of the things that usually
accompany greatness. He had no credentials but
Himself.
7While still a young man, the tide of popular
opinion turned against Him and His friends ran
away. One of them denied Him. He was turned over
to His enemies and went through the mockery of a
trial.
8He was nailed to the cross between two thieves.
While He was dying, His executioners gambled for
the only piece of property He had on Earththat
was His robe. When He was dead He was taken down
and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of
a friend.
9Now Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and
today He is the centerpiece of the human race .
10I can safely 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 earth as has that
One Solitary Life!
11To many, Jesus Christ is only a person, a subject
for a painting, a heroic theme for a pen, a
beautiful form for a statue a thought for a
song but to those who have heard His voice, who
have felt His pardon, who have received His
benediction, He is music, warmth, light, joy,
hope salvation, a Friend Who never forsakes,
Who lifts us when others try to push us down. We
cannot wear Him out we pile on Him all our
griefs troubles. He is always ready to lift us
He is always ready to help us He addresses with
the same Love He beams upon us with the same
smile He pities us with the same compassion. He
is Love!
