"Socrates taught for 40 years, Plato for 50, Aristotle for 40, and Jesus for
only 3. Yet the influence of Christ's 3-year ministry infinitely transcends
the impact left by the combined 130 years of teaching from these men who
were among the greatest philosophers of all antiquity. Jesus painted no
pictures; yet, some of the finest paintings of Raphael, Michelangelo, and
Leonardo da Vinci received their inspiration from Him.
Jesus wrote no poetry; but Dante, Milton, and scores of the world's greatest
poets were inspired by Him. Jesus composed no music; still Haydn, Handel,
Beethoven, Bach, and Mendelssohn reached their highest perfection of melody
in the hymns, symphonies, and oratories they composed in His praise. Every
sphere of human greatness has been enriched by this humble Carpenter of
Nazareth. - Henry G. Bosch
