"He drew people to him because he was so open. Jesus would come into your house and he would sit with you on Sunday afternoon and watch the Saints game, at least as long as he could (KF: Yes, the Saints could try even his patience). Remember, he's human and he would play with your kid. He'd listen to your jokes and laugh. He'd tell some jokes of his own and when you talked to him, he would listen as though he owned time and it made it himself and had all of it there was in the world. He was common. He was ordinary," said the late Dr. Frank Pollard as he described Jesus Christ in the 1996 sermon posted below. Listen to what else Dr. Pollard had to say.
Scripture: Philippians 2: 6-11
(KJV) 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
