Without Jesus What's the Purpose

I've poured over books of science
Studied hard the ancient arts
Even spoke with bearded Guru's 
On the peak of mountain tops

Taken classes from learned professors
At top notch universities 
But if Jesus isn't brought up
What good are they to me

I've rubbed elbows with Hollywood Stars 
As they've rehearsed their lines
Had discussions with dignitaries
With Presidents I've wined and dined

I have watched the worlds top athletes
Some of whom I'm their biggest fan 
But if Jesus isn't in the process
It doesn't make any sense 

I've seen a man walk on the moon
Plant a flag beneath the stars
Heard men give the greatest speeches
Watched men drive the fastest cars

You could say I've about done it all
And in that you would be right
But without Jesus in the mix
There's not much good to life

I enjoyed the topic of your poem Mike, and agree completely, 'Without Jesus what's the purpose?', so aptly put.
