an

”

“
In whom also we have
obtained
an

being predestinated…

“That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
”
Ephesians 1:12Slide23
Before the Apostles saw the Messiah preached by John,
they had certain expectation
of His coming.Slide24
The Apostles left a record for
us that testifies that they continued to have that
certain expectation in
Jesus as Messiah.Slide25
The record the Apostles left for us is the record of the New Testament. That record is the foundation of the House of God.Slide26
Will you believe in this record and will you trust in Jesus?Slide27
