I might quote this, from church historian Philip Schaff, which is all over the interweb, on Sunday:
“This Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions
than Alexander, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon; without science and
learning, He shed more light on things human and divine than all
philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of schools, He
spoke such words of life as were never spoken before or since and
produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without
writing a single line, He set more pens in motion, and furnished themes
for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art,
and songs of praise, than the whole army of great men of ancient and
modern times.”
Philip Schaff, The Person of Christ (New York: American Tract Society, 1913), 33.
