************************************************************
He was born in a small out of the way village.
He learned a simple trade and spent the first 30 years of his life making benches, tables and various and sundry articles of the carpenters’ trade.
He never got a degree or a Doctorate (honorary or otherwise).
He was never approved by a secular or sacred board or sat in on any important committees.
He was never elected Chief Priest among the Pharisees and Sanhedrin.
He was never made Governor of his state or even elected to some board of commissioners.
He was never a member of a Diaconate or made an Elder or chosen as President of a Men’s Group.
He could not claim a Reverend before his name or point to a listing in Dunn and Bradstreet.
He was not a member of Rotary or Lions or selected as the outstanding Young Man of the Year by the J.C’s.
He did not own a closet full of the best suits from Macy’s nor did he drive the classiest chariot in the city.
All he did was preach the love of God and man for less than three years.
And wear a simple seamless garment while he preached.
His only invitation from the leaders of his day was for a trial.
His only soldier escort was to a cross.
Yet the world is a different place because of Him.
And men do not walk with sins heavy on their hearts or fear of death because He lived and died and rose again.
His success was in the tender combination of humanity and the divine.
His success was in the life He lived as well as in the miraculous way He rose from the dead.
What really made this Jesus stand out in history was not just the resurrection but the man.
Humble, kind and full of love.
A man who counted every other man by his need and not by the cut of his cloth or the color of his skin or the title before his name.
What made Jesus great was not what He had for He had nothing, not even what men said about Him, for many cursed His name.
What made Jesus great was what and who He was.
