It has often been pointed out that Jesus lived in a small country and never went beyond its borders. He was so poor that He said He had nowhere to lay His head. His only pocketbook was the mouth of a fish, He rode on another man's beast. He cruised the lake in another man's boat. He was buried in another man's grave. And He laid aside a royal robe for all this.
He never wrote a book. His recorded words would hardly make a pocket edition. Yet if all the words that have been written about Him were brought together, they would fill a thousand libraries.
He never founded a college to perpetuate His doctrines. Yet His teachings have endured for more than two thousand years.
He never carried a sword. He never organized an army, He never built a navy, and He never had an air force. Yet He founded an empire in which there are millions today who would die for Him.
And His name is "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). Praise His name! - Billy Graham
