This is the twenty-first installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from The Time of Nero. In this episode he introduces his audience to the infamous Roman emperor, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Anyone stuck with such a long name understandably might prove a little grumpy, but Nero’s problems go far beyond being a little grumpy. He seemed to have a problem with everyone in his life. After running out of family members to murder, in 64 AD he turned his angst against the Christians, murdering an immense number of them. But, what is amazing, is that such a disturbed man was still loved by God, and God pursued him, sending Paul the Apostle to stand before him and to testify of the love, longsuffering, and grace of Jesus Christ.
