and in Him all things hold together.''
(Colossians 1:17)

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 college.
He had no credentials but Himself...
Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and
today, He is the central figure of the human race.
All the armies that ever marched,
and all the navies that ever sailed,
all the parliaments that ever sat,
and all the kings that ever reigned have not
affected the life of man on this earth as much as that
One Solitary Life.
