But this caused a bit of a problem because the church was growing so fast that some of the widows in the community were being overlooked.…
In this essay, I will be talking about what I believe to be true from what Jesus tells us in the Bible, about being the Son of God and how He was here to die on the cross for our sins, showing everyone who He was and who ever believe in Him is save, or healed if they were sick.
