The Unique Christ

His birth was contrary to the laws of life.

His death was contrary to the laws of death.

He had no corn fields or fisheries,

But He could spread a table for five thousand

And have bread and fish to spare!

When He died, few men mourned,

But a black crepe was hung over the sun!

The men trembled not for their sins;

The earth beneath them shook under the load.

All nature honored Him!

Sinners alone rejected Him!

Corruption could not get hold of His body.

The soil that had been reddened with His blood

Could not claim His dust!

Three years He preached His gospel;

He wrote no book;

Built no church-house;

Had no monetary backing;

But even after 2000 years,

He is the One Central Character

in all of human history.

The pivot, around which

The events of the ages revolve,

And the only Regenerator of the Human race!

Was it merely the Son of Joseph and Mary

Who crossed the world’s horizon 2000 years ago?

Was it merely human blood

That was spilled on Calvary’s Hill

For the redemption of sinners?

What thinking man can keep from exclaiming

“My Lord and My God!”
