Subject: EXT: [CWWC] Our Greatest Need

 


Our Greatest Need

If our greatest need had been information,
     ...God would have sent us an educator;
  
If our greatest need had been technology,
     ...God would have sent us a scientist;

If our greatest need had been money,
     ...God would have sent us an economist;

If our greatest need had been pleasure,
     ...God would have sent us an entertainer;

But our greatest need was forgiveness,
     ...So God sent us a Savior.



"One Solitary Life"

He was born in an obscure village
The child of a peasant woman
He grew up in another obscure village
Where he worked in a carpenter shop
Until he was thirty

He never wrote a book
He never held an office
He never went to college
He never visited a big city
He never traveled more than two hundred miles
>From the place where he was born
He did none of the things
Usually associated with greatness
He had no credentials but himself
He was only thirty three
His friends ran away
One of them denied him
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 dying, his executioners gambled for his clothing
The only property he had on earth

When he was dead
He was laid in a borrowed grave
Through the pity of a friend

Nineteen centuries have come and gone
And today Jesus is the central figure of the human race
And the leader of mankind's progress
All the armies that have ever marched
All the navies that have ever sailed
All the parliaments that have ever sat
All the kings that ever reigned put together
Have not affected the life of mankind on earth
As powerfully as that one solitary life


One Solitary Life was adapted from a sermon by Dr James Allan Francis in
"The Real Jesus and Other Sermons" (c) 1926 by the Judson Press of
Philadelphia.
