    Opportunity to Preach in thePower of the Spirit

    You are amazed? Have you forgottenJesus?

    Once you were ignorant of who Jesus was,but not now.

    Jesus is glorified by God; you handed himover though innocent in secular courts; you

    voted to kill him. You terminated the sourceof life, and God raised him from the dead.

    It is Jesus who brings this transformation

    you see before you.
