What Must I Do To Be Saved?

  

"The Incomparable Christ"

Author Unknown

He came from the bosom of the Father to the bosom of a woman. He became the Son of man that we might become the sons of God. He put on humanity that we might put on immortality. He came from Heaven to earth that we might go from earth to Heaven. He left the region where the rivers never freeze, winds never blow, frost never bites, flowers never fade; where there are no undertakers, no doctors needed, because no one is ever sick; where graveyards never haunt, death never comes, and no funerals are ever conducted. He was born contrary to the law of nature, was reared in obscurity, lived in poverty; only once did He ever cross the boundaries of His own small country. He had no wealth nor worldly influence, training or education. His parents knew nothing of the niceties of social tradition. In infancy, He startled a king; in boyhood, puzzled the wise; in manhood, ruled the course of nature. He healed the multitudes without medicine, and made no charges for His services. He never wrote a book, yet all the libraries of the world could not contain all the books that could be written about Him. He never wrote a song, and yet has provided the themes for more songs than all earthly writers combined. He never founded a college, yet all schools of earth have not had the students that sat at His feet. He never practiced medicine, yet He has healed more broken hearts than the world has ever taken note of. He never marshaled an army; never drafted a soldier; nor fired a gun; yet no leader has had volunteers who, under His orders, made rebels stack arms and surrender to his command, never firing a shot. He is the Star of astronomy, the Rock of geology, the Lamb and Lion of zoology, the Harmonizer of all discords, and the Healer of all diseases. Great men have come and gone; He lives on! Herod could not kill Him; Satan could not seduce Him; death could not destroy Him; and the grave could not hold Him. He laid aside His purple robe for a peasant's gown. He was rich, but for our sakes became poor that we might be rich. How poor?Ask Mary! Ask the wise men! He slept in another's manger; He rode another's donkey; He was buried in another's tomb. All others have failed; He never. The ever and only perfect One, the chief among ten thousand; altogether lovely.
