A Leader of Unimaginable Influence-- John Ortberg


A Leader of Unimaginable Influence-- John Ortberg

1.  Jesus movement changed the way we think about history.

2.  Jesus shaped how we express compassion.

Dont ever forget this: "The Cross is the SINGLE MOST RECOGNIZABLE symbol in the history of the world!" 

Where ever you have an expression of self-giving for the lowly, this probably has it's root in Jesus' influence

3.  Jesus movement shaped education.

92% of all colleges started in the US before the civil war, started as in influence of Jesus.

No other book in history has been translated into even 1/5 of the languages.

4.  The Jesus movement changed political theory.

Render to Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and to God what is God.

Up to that point, state was the church and church was the state.

5.  Jesus changed how we think about human rights and dignity.

Jesus wrote the first expression of egalitarianism.


Who IS this man Jesus?
