The disciples ask the question every generation must answer:
“What kind of man is this?”

Muscle flexing doesn’t belong in the Kingdom.
Paul refuses to lead with a stick.
He leads with humility.

When persecuted—endure.
When slandered—speak kindly.
That’s power.

Calling forth hope aligned with God’s purposes.
Who needs you to speak life today?
