The Personal Power of Jesus Lectures
Audio lecture series by Dr. Mark W. Baker
The Personal Power of Jesus: Lecture 1
Jesus is the best example of Personal Power the world has ever known. He owned nothing, only had a three year itinerant ministry during an age with no mass media, and never wrote a book—and yet He has a dedicated following of over two billion people today. If you measure personal power by the amount of influence on other people then clearly no one has been more personally powerful in the past two thousand years. This lecture introduces the concept of personal power as demonstrated for us by Jesus. All of us can learn about personal power from His example.

The Personal Power of Jesus vs. Machiavelli
Dr. Baker closes his series on the Personal Power of Jesus by contrasting the ideas of two major writers on the subject of power: Martin Buber and Niccoló Machiavelli. Buber’s notion of the I-Thou relationship eloquently describes how power is most effective when exercised as Personal Power. And Machiavelli is one of the best examples in history of how viewing power from only the I-It perspective ultimately leads to destruction. This lecture explores the continuum of power from Impersonal to Personal and the implications associated with each end of the spectrum.
