But Father Jegar absolutely broke open the story of Jesus’ third appearance to the disciples after His resurrection (John 21:1-19), and in his telling of it, he reached right into my heart and broke it open too. Line by line, he did it, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more...
Did Jesus Exist or Is It All a Myth? Is There Any Historical Proof for the Existence of Jesus? Atheists in the Pulpit: Clergy Who Are Non-Believers How Zoroastrianism Shaped the Judeo-Christian Concept of God
Many Christians are not fully aware of this second fact about the Blood of Jesus – that the Blood of Jesus can also be used to engage with our enemies when they do try to launch any kind of an attack against us. I believe that all of the above Scripture verses definitely tell us tha...
When you think of “Resurrection,” you probably think of physical death. And this makes sense. Perhaps the most famous resurrection of all time, that of Jesus Christ, took place after a physical death. However, not all heroic stories involve physical stakes of life and death. They deal, r...

re not going to last that long entombed wrapped up for four days. So, him waiting two days makes sense with either a God’s eye view or at least the benefit of hindsight we have as readers. But at the time, this looks like a threefold scandal. Jesus doesn’t come when he’s ...
If we are to experience His resurrection power we are also to partake in His crucifixion and suffering, (the work of the cross) there is no way around it, this is the life of a true believer in Christ. He is love, love suffers long and love is kind. Love does not focus on what ...
Now, it does not matter what logic you use to get doing, but it is right, like Jesus would, doing of faith actions that makes the difference. How long does it take? Well, for an immediate crisis, depending on where you are starting from, it can be an intense 30-60 minutes to 3-...
