Happy Dance

Phil 2:10
“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman.
He grew up in still another village, where He worked in a carpenters shop until He was 30 years old.
For the next 3 years, He was an itinerant preacher.
He never wrote a book, He never held an office.
He never married, had a family or owned a house.
He didn’t go to university.
He never traveled more than 200 miles from the place where He was born.
He did none of the things one usually associates with greatness.

When He was 33 years old, the tide of public opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away.
He was turned over to His enemies, and went through the mockery of a trial. He was tortured and then nailed to a cross between two thieves. When He was 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 kindness of a friend.

Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today He is the central figure of the human race, and the leader of mankind’s progress. All the armies that ever marched all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man on earth as much as this one solitary life.

This man is my Saviour, He is my Lord, He is my God.

At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

In His Love
