I Peter 3:18
Introduction: You don't have to say a lot.

''You know you are ugly when it comes to a group picture and they hand you the camera.''
You really can say a lot or say very little at times when it comes to speech and writing. It is the quality of what is said; not the quantity that counts. It is so true of some scripture we are going to look at today.
We are in a series where we are answering the question, ''why Jesus?'' of the over 4200 religions in the world, why do we as Christians believe Christianity is the only faith we should follow? Of all the religious leaders who have ever lived, why did we say that Jesus Christ is the only one we should obey?
There are three things that set Jesus apart, not just from every religious leader, but from every person who has ever lived - his life, his death, his resurrection. Last week we talked about how ...
