Jeremiah Johnston

And I am torturing and murdering.

That's why he said for the rest of his life, I am the worst of all sinners, the greatest of all sinners.

That was me.

And he never got over that.

But he missed the Messiah.

So we say to ourselves now, Glenn, with everything that's going on in the world, what are we lusting after?

What power do we want so desperately that we are missing the Messiah ourselves?

And everybody needs one.

Everybody needs a savior, whether it's from what you're afraid of, what you're brokenhearted from, what you're addicted to, whatever.

We all need Messiah.

And so it was Nero who said, we've got a problem with these little Christians.

He said it very derisively, and he meant it because the word Christo in Greek means Messiah.

That's right.

And that's why our subtitle is, and this is the second in the series, the first one was Herod and Mary.

Talk about juxtaposing ancient evil and living hope.

As Herod was dying and he was, I mean, just his body was

literally littered with maggots and everything else from the way he lived his life.

He's dying while Mary has the hope of the world, the hope of humankind.

She's carrying the king of kings.

And Herod used to call himself the king of the Jews.
