But I'm so glad to know that I've heard some things about Jesus. There is a notoriety that this God-Man carries, and with it comes some expectations. You know, I heard that He opens blind eyes. I heard that He can unstop deaf ears. I heard that He can lay hands on the sick, and they recover. I heard that He could resurrect the dead and bring them back to life. But I haven't just heard about Jesus; you see, I have met and experienced Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. And I can tell you today with confidence, He is everything that you've heard about Him that's good.}}
