When a small ad appeared in the church Sunday bulletin offering men the opportunity to study the Bible, twelve responded.After several interesting sessions, a new assistant priest shows up at one of the meetings. Only, He's not your normal assistant. He identifies Himself as Jesus Christ.Until He actually bleeds through His shirt, no one believes, wondering just what kind of nut this new guy is.Jesus identifies the twelve as His original apostles some two thousand years ago and informs them major faith changes are necessary throughout the United States, and each will be His leader in those changes in twelve major cities. He names the twelve cities, cites specific details about each regarding race, politics, and recent disasters.The twelve realize this truly is the Christ. They take up His cross and follow.
