INTRODUCTION
ESPN JUST DID A SERIES ON THE GREATEST ATHLETE OF
THE CENTURY.
THEY FOCUSED ON 100 ATHLETES FROM VARIOUS SPORTS.
MOHAMMAD ALI WAS VOTED #1.
IT IS ABOUT TIME FOR THE MAJOR NEWS MAGAZINES, IF
NOT ALREADY, TO PUBLISH THE TOP 10 MEN AND WOMEN
OF 1999.
VARIOUS INFLUENTIAL LEADERS HAVE MADE THIS LIST
THROUGH THE YEARS.
EVERY VARIATION FROM: MOST INFLUENTIAL, MOST
POPULAR, TO BEST LOOKING, TO WORSE LOOKING, TO
BEST DRESSED, TO WORSE DRESSED, ETC. HAVE BEEN
FEATURED IN THESE REPORTS.
WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT WHOSE #1.
WE JUST FINISHED THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS TO
PROVE WHOSE NUMBER ONE.
THE MOST FAMOUS RESPONSE TO THE CAMERA ON ANY
SIDELINE, OTHER THAN "HI MOM" IS THE SYMBOL,
"WE'RE NUMBER ONE."
WHO OR WHAT IS #1 TO YOU?
YOUR MIND SET ON THIS ISSUE WILL DETERMINE A LOT

HE IS PREEMINENT IN CREATION.
HE PRECEDES CREATION. VS. 15.
HE IS THE FIRST BORN OF ALL CREATION.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE WAS THE FIRST THING CREATED.
IT MEANS WHATEVER THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE HE

HE PARTICIPATED IN CREATION. VS. 16
HEBREWS 1:2-4.
HE IS THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF GOD THE HEBREW WRITER
SAYS.
THE WORD EXPRESS IMAGE IS WHERE WE GET OUR WORD
FOR ICON.
THAT MAKES MORE SENSE TO US NOW THAN EVER.
WHEN I CLICK ON THE LITTLE ICON ON MY COMPUTER
EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROGRAM IS
AVAILABLE TO ME.
WHEN YOU CLICK ON JESUS ALL GOD IS, IS MADE
AVAILABLE TO YOU AS WELL, BECAUSE HE IS THE EXACT
