Who Is Jesus
Stan Coffey
Matthew 8:27
In this wonderful time of the year when we are celebrating the birth of Christ and all around us we see the Christmas story being portrayed, there is a tremendous tendency to get caught up in the story of how Jesus came into this earth and to forget who Jesus really is.

Someone else said, "Oh, to know the miracles of Christ and the power of Christ, that is the most important thing. That would strengthen y ...
