There was nothing physically about Jesus that made Him look different from any other man. He didn't have a supernatural glow, "no beauty or majesty that we might be attracted to him" (Isaiah 53:2). But when He began to teach, people immediately realized that this was no ordinary man. He was different from their teachers of the law, and He is different from every other religious figure who ever walked the earth. Why? His authority. For the next few weeks, we'll be examining how Jesus revealed His authority during His ministry on earth.
First Baptist Church is a loving community of believers in Jesus Christ. Our history goes back for about a century of serving Jesus in our community.

"In the past, God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son..."
