The power comes from the selection of words, Mr. D. There's not many, but this phrase, "Jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus" shows an arrogance to the religion.
This one downgrades an entire country, "He was beaten by Roman soldiers, scourged, stripped, and nailed to a cross."
This one shows the "gullibility" of the people, especially our leaders, "A Roman governor named Pilate tried Jesus. He wanted to release Jesus. But when the Jews threatened to riot, Pilate condemned Jesus to death on a cross."
If you can't see any power in these sentences, then you should take English 101 in college, again.
