    based on 50 ratings
     | 14,301 views

    Is Jesus just a baby in a manger scene that’s taken out once a year? Is He there to give you health, wealth and prosperity? Is He some type of fire insurance? This passage answers those questions about who Jesus really is.

Jesus’ relationship to His children (20-23) I’m sure many of us have heard the story about the little girl who was coloring a picture in her Sunday School class.
