The Incomparable Christ

~ The original source of the following is unknown. ~

Over 2000 years ago a man was born contrary to the laws of life.
He lived in poverty.
He was raised in obscurity.
He did not travel extensively (only once leaving His native country—during exile in childhood).
He had no wealth or wide-spread influence.
His relatives were inconspicuous.
He had no formal training or formal education.

But this Man’s life changed the course of history!
In infancy He startled a king.
In childhood He puzzled doctors.
In manhood He ruled the course of nature.
He walked on water and He hushed the sea.

He healed multitudes without medicine and He made no charge for His services.

He never wrote a book.
His life has inspired more books than any other man.
He never wrote a song.
Yet He has furnished the theme for more songs than all the songwriters combined.
He never founded a college.
But all the schools put together cannot boast of having as many students.

He never marshaled an army, or drafted a soldier, or fired a gun.
Yet no leader ever had more volunteers, who have under His orders, made more rebels stack arms and surrender without a shot fired.

He never practiced psychiatry.
Yet He has healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far and near.

Every seventh day the wheels of commerce cease their turning and multitudes wend their way to worshipping assemblies to pay homage and respect to Him.
Though time has spread 2000 years between the people of our generation and His birth, He still lives. His enemies could not destroy Him, and the grave could not hold Him.
The names of past proud statesmen of Greece and Rome have come and gone. The names of past scientists, philosophers, and theologians have come and gone.
But the name of this Man abounds more and more!

Herod could not destroy Him.
The grave could not hold Him.

He stands forth on the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory!
Proclaimed of God, acknowledged by angels, adored by saints, and feared by devils, our risen, living Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We will be either forever with Him or forever without Him.

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).

“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
