    There is a fundamental difference of me looking directly into my sons eyes and saying, "You are my beloved son," and if I were to put my arm around him and say to you, "this is my beloved son." One is a private declaration, one is a public demonstration.

    This is Thou Art Text: Luke 3:21,22; Matthew 17:5 Luke 3:21-22 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 12,002 views

The uniqueness of His ministry, or what made Him different from other “so called” prophets is not only was he a great teacher, preacher and evangelist, But along with is teaching and preaching ...read more
