The truth that sets a person free, free indeed from the penalty of sin, free from the power of sin, and ultimately free from the presence of sin. He is the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me” (John 14:6 KJV).

Oratorical Essay Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish which certainly did serve humanity in the naked eye of anyone. In three books of the Bible, Mathew, Luke and John have the same writings for such an important event in history, not only religion.
