Hey my friends, it's Matt, this is the 10 minute Bible Hour podcast and a while

back I don't remember why it was some project for school or church or something

but I got this wild hair right aside I was going to go through all the stuff that Jesus said Jesus from the Bible

the guy for whom Christianity is named and I was like he's super important and people really

care what he says about things and everybody's always like Jesus wants this and Jesus

wants that and Jesus likes that and I'm gonna add it up I'm gonna use math and

science to figure out what Jesus was really

into by counting up the number of times he talked about different subjects so that then I could

ranked now I know what he cares about because of how many times he mentioned

things and so I did it I went through all of the Gospels Matthew Mark

and I added it all up. I had a little tally sheet, I remember it was on yellow legal paper,

it took me a long time, but I had these categories and the categories had to get a little more complex as I went along and some of the things he said kind of counted for two or three categories even at once.

What I'm saying is my methodology, it wasn't perfect, it was honest, I don't think I had a bias going into it, I just really

want to know, right? So I get the whole thing done and when all the tallies were added up I was a bit surprised maybe now

I wouldn't be surprised by it but back then I was like whoa that's not how I

thought Christianity was it's very interesting I would, no, no, that's not fun.

I'm gonna let you guess.

Wherever you are, working out in your full body unitard,

sweating vigorously, probably mostly in the lower back, I'm all right. I just want you to start

shrieking out the things that you think Jesus cares about. So for example,
