And we are THE WITNESSES=to

THIS MIRACLE OF LIFE

Must be established

By the testimony=of two

Or three WITNESSES”                                                                                                              Deuteronomy 19:15

 

“He himself=

Was not the light=he came

ONLY AS A WITNESS

To the light”                                                                                                                                  Acts 1:8

 

“But you will receive power

When the Holy Spirit=comes on you

 

And you will=BE MY WITNESSES

In Jerusalem=and in all Judea=and Samaria

And to the ends=of the earth”                                                                                                Acts 1:8

For the Risen Lord!

 

“You study=

The Scriptures diligently

Because you think=that in them

These are the VERY SCRIPTURES

THAT TESTIFY=about me=yet you

Refuse to come to me=to have life”                                                                                         John 5:38-39
