A man died under tragic circumstances. The man’s widow and children were surrounded by ministers and chaplains trying to ease their grief.

He had come to this country illiterate and penniless and built up an immensely successful company. Despite his success, he had never learned to read or write. He walked over to the widow and started to cry, and she started to cry with him, and you could feel the atmosphere in the room change. This man who had never read a book spoke the language of the heart and held the key that opened the gates of solace where leaned doctors and ministers could not. John 11:35: Jesus wept.
