Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build an- other, not made with hands.'" Yet even then their testimony did not agree. Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" But Je- sus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Bless- ed One?" "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked. "You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him as worthy of death. (Mark 14:57-64). Joe Henson, Pastor Matt Haycraft, Reporter JESUS CHRIST OUR FIRM FOUNDATION 1415 N.

The Lord Working With Them The resurrected Christ, just before ascending into Heaven, gave his disciples instructions and promises. Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to ever y creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:15- 18) Jesus also said, "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me..." (Acts 2:8a). "And they went forth, and preached ev- er y where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs follow- ing —Amen" (Mark 16:20). They believed Jesus. Jesus said "Go", they went. Jesus said "Preach", they preached. They did their part, Jesus did His. Confirming the word with signs following. Chad Searls, Pastor Allen Parks, Reporter TWIN OAKS CHURCH 1911 E. Co. Rd. 650 N.
