So you have over two billion Christians who view him central to their faith, who view him as their God, but above and beyond that, you also have over a billion Muslims who view him as a significant prophet. Now, just to get some context on the life and times of Jesus, most of the accounts we have of him come from the first four books of the New Testament of the Bible, called the Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of Mark, Gospel of Luke, Gospel of John, sometimes it's the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. And the term gospel today often refers to the idea of the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, so you could view it as the life and teaching of Jesus Christ according to Matthew, according to Mark, according to Luke, according to John, but it really comes from Old English for good news. Good news. And there's a related term, evangel, you might have heard evangelical or evangelize, also referring to good news. Now, the reason why it was considered good news is his message, then we're gonna have some examples of it in a few minutes, really talks about this idea that the poor have the kingdom of heaven waiting for them, that there's this forgiving God that you can have a close connection with. And for a lot of people, remember, this was in the time of the Roman Empire, most people were downtrodden, there was slavery, people were poor, and this idea that even the poor could go to the kingdom of heaven and in some ways have better access to it than the rich and the powerful was good news to a lot of people.
