Whew! We made it! The world didn’t end on December 21st
and we are still orbiting our sun in this grand Milky Way galaxy.
No killer asteroids, no sudden plagues, no magnetic pole shifts; just
business as usual. Or is it? We keep looking for the sensational in
our continually media saturated world. Perhaps we should shift our
focus. Remember this essay?
One Solitary Life (Dr James Allan Francis in “The Real Jesus and Other Sermons” © 1926 by the
Judson Press)
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 carpenter shop until He was
30. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book.
He never held an office. He never had a family or owned a house. He didn't go
to college. He never traveled more than 200 miles from the place He was born.
He did none of the things one usually associates with greatness. He had no cre-
dentials but Himself. He was only 33 when public opinion turned against Him.
His friends deserted 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. 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
pity of a friend. Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today He is the
central figure of the human race, the leader of mankind's progress. All the ar-
mies 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 that One Solitary Life.
May God grant us all a very Blessed Christmas!
Father Joe Forcelle
