What Manner Of Man Is This? (1)

The Lord Jesus Christ came from the bosom of the Father to the bosom of a woman. He put on humanity that we might put on divinity. He became Son of Man that we might become sons of God.

He came from heaven, where the rivers never freeze, winds never blow, frosts never chill the air, flowers never fade. They never phone for a doctor, for there no one is ever sick. There are no undertakers and no graveyards for no one ever dies and no one is ever buried.

He was born contrary to the laws of nature, lived in poverty, reared in obscurity; only once, in childhood, crossed the boundary of the land. He had no wealth nor influence and had no training nor education. His relatives were inconspicuous and uninfluential.

In infancy He startled a king; in boyhood He puzzled the doctors; in manhood He ruled the course of nature. He walked upon the billows and hushed the sea to sleep. He healed the multitudes without medicine and made no charge for His services.

He never wrote a book; yet, not all the libraries in the country could hold the books that could be written about Him. He never wrote a song; yet, He has furnished the theme of more songs than all song-writers combined. He never founded a college; yet, all the schools together cannot boast of as many students. He never practiced medicine; yet, He healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far and near.

He never marshalled an army, drafted a soldier, nor fired a gun; yet, no leader ever made more volunteers, who have under His orders, made rebels stack arms or surrender without a shot being fired.
