But must not loyalty to Jesus have become tepid, if a servant of His has so little interest in the purposes for which He gave His life that he can hear no call to take active part in promoting them, nor find rest in the work by which he becomes a fellow-worker with his Lord? III...
Even more momentous that the death of Jesus would have been his resurrection, but even there, the gospels are full of conflicting accounts. From who went to the tomb, to whether or not the stone had already been removed, to what those who were there saw, to what they were told, the g...
