[00:11.67]Here was a man
[00:13.47]A man who was born in a small village
[00:16.32]The son of a peasant woman
[00:18.52]He grew up in another small village
[00:21.85]Until he reached the age of thirty
[00:23.77]He worked as a carpenter
[00:25.87]Then for three years
[00:26.89]He was a traveling minister
[00:29.58]But he never traveled more
[00:30.47]Than two hundred miles from
[00:32.53]Where he was born and
[00:34.22]Where he did go he usually walked
[00:38.60]He never held political office
[00:41.06]He never wrote a book
[00:42.92]Never bought a home
[00:44.38]Never had a family
[00:46.21]He never went to college
[00:47.78]And he never set foot inside a big city
[00:50.49]Yes here was a man
[00:54.58]Yes here was a man
[00:56.67]Though he never did one on the things
[00:58.16]Usually associated with greatness
[01:01.90]He had no credentials but himself
[01:05.30]He had nothing to do with this world
[01:07.64]Except through the divine purpose
[01:10.19]That brought him to this world
[01:13.55]While he was still a young man
[01:15.64]The tide of popular opinion turned against him
[01:19.85]Most of his friends ran away
[01:22.50]One of them denied him
[01:23.91]One of them betrayed him
[01:26.24]And turned him over to his enemies
[01:29.39]Then he went through the mockery of a trial
[01:32.28]And was nailed to a cross between two thieves
[01:38.37]And even while he was dying
[01:41.09]His executioners gambled
[01:43.23]For the only piece of property
[01:45.40]That he had in this world
[01:46.99]And that was his robe his purple robe
[01:52.86]When he was dead
[01:54.74]He was taken down from the cross
[01:57.18]And laid in a borrowed grave
[01:59.32]Provided by compassionate friends
[02:03.89]More than nineteen centuries have come and gone
[02:07.12]And today he's a centerpiece of the human race
[02:10.40]Our leader in the column to human destiny
[02:15.16]And I think I'm well within the mark when I say
[02:18.16]That all of the armies that ever marched
[02:21.40]All of the navies that ever sailed the seas
[02:23.94]All of the legislative bodies that ever sat
[02:27.54]And all of the kings that ever reigned
[02:30.13]All of them put together have not affected
[02:33.27]The life of man on this earth
[02:35.07]So powerfully as that one solitary life
[02:40.76]Here was a man
