THE ITINERANT PREACHER

He was born in an obscure village.
He worked in a carpenter’s 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.
Twenty centuries have come and gone,
And today he is the central figure of 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.

"He was called Jesus"
Luke 2:21
