| 0:03.0 | Well, hello, true seekers, or should I say influencers for Jesus. |
| 0:11.0 | Welcome back to our summer series on the Beatitudes. |
| 0:15.0 | Are you starting to see a little bit more about what it means to follow Jesus? |
| 0:19.0 | Is it what you thought it would be? If you're a little |
| 0:21.9 | surprise, that's okay. Following Jesus will look nothing like influencers of the world. The world |

| 1:25.4 | But God, in His mercy, stepped in, sent Jesus to die in our place |
| 1:31.0 | as our punishment so that we would not be separated from Him. That is mercy. To follow Jesus, |
| 1:38.1 | we must also show mercy to others. We must be willing to forgive and extend the same mercy that |
| 1:44.1 | was shown to us. Can I share |
| 1:46.2 | with you an example of someone in the Bible who was an influencer with a very large following |
