I Appeal To Caesar!

How can they bring this about? They have no idea, but

A troubled teenage girl asks, “How can we get Rachel

This could possibly be their time of opportunity! He hurries home to share the news with his mother.

As he reaches home, a startling announcement excites

Rachel and friends!

The messenger is Rebecca, Rachel’s close friend, so out of breath, she can hardly speak. Her words explode like a bomb!

“JESUS IS NOW COMING INTO JERUSALEM!” * * * * *
