Well howdy, Pastor Mark Driscoll here, thank you for letting me help you learn God's word.

And if you want to learn more, go to Mark Driscoll.org.

I've got a weekly newsletter answering your questions, daily devotions, blogs that are Bible teaching in their

orientation and a small mountain of sermons going through lots of books of the

Bible. So join me at Mark Friskel.org and will help you learn even more of

God's word.

We're all here because of one man. What's his name? This name is Jesus the most significant, the most important,

the most influential person who has ever lived or will ever live in the history of the world.

More songs have been sung regarding him, more books written concerning him,

more paintings painted of him than anyone who has lived in the history of the world.

In fact, we divide history by the life, death, burial, and resurrection of this man, not just a good man,

not just a great man, not just a great man,

but the one and only God man, Jesus Christ.

We divided into BC before Christ,

AD Anno Domini, the year of our Lord and our holidays are all about him from Easter celebrating

his resurrection to Christmas where the whole world stops to remember his birth.

No one, no one, no one is in the same category of history as this man, Jesus Christ.

Here's what Napoleon had to say about a man who lived 2,000 years ago,

never held a political office, never married, never had children, never made much money, never wrote a book,

and never traveled more than a few hundred miles from home.

Napoleon says, and I quote,

I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man.
