The one who is object of our love was born contrary to the laws of nature, was reared in obscurity, lived in poverty, and only once crossed the boundary of the land in which He was born, and that was in His childhood.
He had no wealth or influence and neither training nor education in the world's school's. His relatives were inconspicuous and uninfluential. In infancy He startled a King. In boyhood He puzzled learned doctors.
In Manhood He rules the course of nature .
He walked upon the billows and hushed the sea to sleep.
He healed the multitudes without medicine and made no charge for His services.
He never wrote a book, yet if everything He did were written in detail, the world itself cannot contain the books that would be written.
He never founded a college, yet all the schools together cannot boast of as many students as He has.
He never practised medicine, yet He has healed more broken hearts than doctors have healed broken bones.
Throughout history great men have come and gone , yet He lives on:
Herod could not kill Him,
satan could not tempt Him.
Death could not destroy Him, and the grave could not hold Him.

Philippians 2:9–11:
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Colossians 1:15–20
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
