"Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, 'The name of Jesus is not so much written as plowed into the history of the world." There is no one who ever lived like him. Socrates taught for forty years. Plato taught for fifty years. Aristotle taught for forty years. And Jesus, for only three, yet the ministry of Jesus infinitely transcends the accumulative 130 years of the world's great philosophers. Jesus painted no pictures. And yet more pictures have been painted of Him than any person who ever lived. Jesus wrote no poetry, yet more poems have been written of Him than any person who ever lived. Jesus composed no music, yet more music has been composed of Him than any person who ever lived. Raphael, Michelangelo, DaVinci, Dante, Milton, Handel, Beethoven, Bach, Mendelssohn; they all focused on Christ. Every sphere of human art and every sphere of human greatness has been enriched by the humble carpenter of Nazareth." - John MacArthur
