Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Aug 23, 2017

A sermon preached at a healing service while I was visiting a Lutheran church in Sweden (This is the English text - it was translated as I gave it by my host)

The little baby Mary wasn't expected to live. She was now in hospital. Her parents had been told to expect the worst. But the curate from the local church refused to give up.

The Validity Of Jesus

In this passage, Jesus will give us 9 proofs that He is equal with God.
