ONE SOLITARY LIFE

*For as the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

Romans 5:19 (ESV)

Of course, that one man was Jesus!  As we observe the time between His resurrection and His ascension to the Father (Acts 1:3), the following reading called One Solitary Life seemed appropriate.   In the span of 3 years, there isn't anyone who had a greater impact on the Kingdom. 

 *One Solitary Life

He was born in an obscure village.  He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty.  He never had a family or owned a house.  He didn't go to college.  He had no credentials but Himself. He was only thirty-three when the public turned against Him. His friends ran away.  He was turned over to His enemies and went through the mockery of a trial.  He was nailed to a cross between two thieves.  While He was dying, His executioners gambled for His clothing, the only property He had on earth.  He was laid in a borrowed grave.

Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today He is the central figure of the human race.  All the armies that have marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that every reigned have not affectd the life of man on this earth as much as that One Solitary Life.
