A 33-YEAR-OLD GREAT

About 2,300 years ago Alexander the Great marched his army from Greece to India. Though the distance was long, his army was unstoppable. The only reason he stopped was that his men became homesick and wanted to return to Greece. That march had long ranging influence. The Greek culture and language became standard for over 3 centuries. What Alexander accomplished is impressive especially when you consider that he did it by the age of 33. No wonder they call him Alexander the Great.

About 330 years after Alexander the Great died another remarkable 33-year-old embarked on a march. Like Alexander’s march this one was unstoppable. Of course I’m talking about Jesus and His march to the cross for you and I.
