the needs of ordinary people.
(V67C)15:1 - 23:39 Alarmed at His growing popularity and
outraged by his revolutionary message, the religious
authorities question and attack Jesus at every turn. An

| The Wonders of God's Creation - Human Life |
Moody Institute of Science |
The well known Greek writer, Sophocles, wrote,
"Numberless are the world's wonders, but none are more
wonderful than man, himself." Sophocles' timeless words
still ring true, for human life exists as the crowning
achievement of God's creation. As you watch Part Three,
carefully consider the unimaginable complexity and
potential of the human brain, the architectural
masterwork of the hand and skeletal system,k and the
incredible durability of the heart. In the human body,
God's creative power expresses its magnificent
dimension. But there is far more to the miracle of the
human experience than the wonders of body and mind. God
has made each of us for the highest purpose of all, to
know and enjoy His love and care forever. |
