    Como cristianos y seguidores de Jesucristo, el milagro de la alimentación es importante para nosotros. Creo que mencionar el milagro de la alimentación en los cuatro evangelios transmite algo más importante que lo que generalmente entendemos en el texto.

    My first combat was only a few days after I arrived in Vietnam. The invincibility of my youth left me swiftly. I wrote each letter home with care, for I suddenly knew that each letter might be the last words. Luke records some of Christ last words.

Abraham had made a number of altars and had offered several sacrifices since he had come to Canaan, but this was an offering he didn’t want to make.

    The focus of this sermon is to explore the possible meaning to the phrase "You are gods" in Psalm 82 and referred to by Jesus, and how it might apply to all believers today.
