The main character was a mechanical replica of a human-eating great white shark. Unfortunately, the mechanical shark constantly broke down. So the director “shot around” the shark and implied its presence with music that won many awards. Once the shark was seen on the screen at the end of the movie, it was kind of a relief.

In Isaiah 9, it said Jesus would be the “Prince of Peace.” At his birth, the angels declared “peace on earth to people he favors” (Luke 2:13-14).
From the life of Jesus we learn this truth: Peace is not the absence of conflict; peace is found in the presence of Christ.2023-12-2626 minRobertsdale Church of ChristMighty God // He Shall Be Called Series // Eric GrayIn Isaiah 9:6, there are four names given that would shape the identity and mission of Jesus Christ.

They needed him to do something. Jesus waited two days to get there. By the time Jesus arrived, Lazarus has been dead for four days. Why?
Jesus used this situation to show the power of God and to create belief in the hearts of those present.

Your view of the world would be the images someone has patiently painted in your mind. In John 9, Jesus sees a man who was born blind.
