Was it Jesus's preaching that turned the world upside down? Was it the miracles? No. Jesus submitted to death on a cross, and he died. Jesus, the corpse, could do NOTHING - but God raised him from the dead. If you want to see God's power in your life, it just won't come from your strengths, your talents, and your connections. God's power is most displayed when we can't, won't, and don't want to.
