Jesus’s Bible study along with His resurrection from the dead, made the disciples bold and full of faith. They were no longer afraid and almost all of them would die proclaiming the message of Jesus. It is in this type of Bible study given by Jesus where people are first educated on t...
On Nain’s outskirts, Jesus and followers came upon a slow-moving and mournful funeral procession. Following the open casket was the bereaved mother whose only son lay lifeless on the raised carrier of his body. This young man was her only son and the only support left in the widow’s li...
