Hi, I'm Erwin McManus and I want to welcome you to the Mosaic Podcast. I want to also bring

into some exciting things that are happening here. If you go to the Mosaic app, you will learn

about our conference coming up this year, about MSC's new album and their tour across the

country and you can learn how to connect and be more involved in mosaic in so many

different ways and by the way we now have the mosaic YouTube channel and you

go access not only these talks but

other fresh and new materials that are being created specifically for that

channel and so if you want to be connected in a richer and fuller way, not only be a part of the

podcast, get to the moussai gap and get to the channel and we'll see you there.

It doesn't slip past me how crazy today is.

2,000 years later, we're having a conversation about Jesus of Nazareth.

We're talking about a man who walked on this earth

who before he was crucified made claims that he was God

walking among us in flesh and blood. And then he foreshadowed that the end of the story

would be different than what we expected, that he would become a sacrifice for all of us, and

that it would all be for love.

That when we would look back on his life, when we would look back on his story, when we would

look back on his sacrifice, that we would know it was all for love.

I don't know about you, but I have lived my life long enough to know that I have had love make

a fool of me more than once, how about you?

In fact, sometimes I just feel so foolish

because of what I've done because of love.
