Jesus Never...

Jesus never published a book.
He probably read only a handful – maybe just one.
Jesus never earned any advanced degrees.
He may not have even gone to school.
Jesus was never an internationally renowned speaker.
At best He was a locally infamous revolutionary.
Jesus never led armies or held a commission.
But He won the greatest victory in human history.
Jesus never claimed any earthly power or throne.
But He set up an everlasting kingdom.
 
Jesus worked as a laborer,
For 30 years, just like you and me.
Jesus taught anyone who wanted to learn,
And probably never earned a dime doing it.
Jesus spoke with authority that amazed
And confounded because where did it come from?
Jesus was content with 12 men who faithfully followed,
Hundreds of mile on foot, not just on Facebook.
Jesus left THE throne of heaven,
And turned away from that of earth,
Jesus did everything God had designed for Him (Phil 2:5-8) to do because…
 
God doesn’t need books or PhDs or a charismatic public speaker.  He doesn’t need armies or strength of arms or politics to use someone.
He just needs you.
