Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

The Books

Revelation 20:11-15 KJV

"¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Brothers and Sisters when that day comes that we are taken home to be with Our Lord and Savior Jesus The Christ we will await Judgment. There are those who Believe that Speaking that they Believe will get them into Heaven, that Their Sins will be forgiven, this is only a Half Truth.

Matthew 7:21-23 KJV

"²¹ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. ²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? ²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

For there are many who ignore this Scripture (Matthew 7:21), especially “…he that doeth the will of my Father…”.  Salvation is Two Fold, there is The Acceptance and there is The Walk, some would say they are both one in the same, but they are not. In Accepting Jesus as Savior, you then Must Make Him Lord Of YOUR Life, making the Whole of Your Life One With Jesus. Can the two be separated…Yes, but then Salvation is lost.

There are many who Believe that because they have Confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior that Judgment has been averted, this is False Doctrine as we have just read in Scripture. Jesus himself said that just because you Call Him Lord does not mean you will enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven, that Works Must Follow.

A person, Man, Woman and Child, can say they have Accepted Jesus, go to church (denomination), sing in a choir, read their Bible, work at the church, do all sorts of things within the church and still go to The Lake Of Fire. I know, some are confused at what I just said, but see all that was just written are for two things Show and Guilt Relief. Now let us examine the difference to a Truly Saved Person in this case. One, they would have Truly Accepted Jesus AS Savior and Lord, they Truly gave Their Lives to Jesus and a True Change has begun within them. Two any of those things that were mentioned with the Lost One will be True to Heart with the Saved Person, in other words, they do those things because they Truly Love Jesus for what He has done IN THEM and they become Works Of Love. There is a Third thing that begins happening with the Saved Person, they start to Witness to others Their Life Change.

In the Scriptures out of Revelations above, we find that there are Multiple Books that are opened, not just The Book Of Life. For now, excluding The Book Of Life, the Other Books Judge All Of Mankind’s Works, Our Daily Lives to see if they Match The Will Of The Father. Understand this, for The Believer, you CANNOT have Confession Alone, nor can you have Works Alone, but The Two Must BE ONE TOGETHER! The reason I have Excluded the Book Of Life at first, is because Every Person ever born will be Judged Out Of All the rest of the Books, but now, after The Works comes the Last Judgment, that is, rather Your Name is written in The Book Of Life, which concerns Salvation In Jesus.

Jesus said that we Cannot Call Him Lord and not Do The Will Of The Father, The Works Of The Father which is Through Jesus His Son.

Only to those who are Saved Through The Blood Of Jesus do the following Scriptures apply to…

1 Corinthians 3:9-15 KJV

"⁹ For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. ¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; ¹³ Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. ¹⁴ If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. ¹⁵ If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."

To those who are about to go to the Book Of Hebrews, do not get The Old Testament confused with the New Testament. In the Old Testament a person’s Works and Faith Justified Them, where as The Blood Of Jesus Justifies Us for Salvation! The Difference between the Old and New is the Blood Sacrifice that was needed to Blot Out Sin before The Father and in The Father find that Animal Sacrifice was Not Able to Cover All Sin, but The Blood Of Jesus Blots outs All Sins forever.

James 2:14 KJV

“What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?"

James 2:17 KJV

“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

There are people who Think that they can just Believe with No Works and enter The Kingdom Of Heaven and there are those who Believe that if they Help The Poor and other works, that they are Justified to go to Heaven, both of these are a LIE!!!

James 2:18-20 KJV

"¹⁸ Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. ¹⁹ Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. ²⁰ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"

James 2:24 KJV

“Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."

There are some who will Pass the First set of Books and not The Book Of Life, there will be some who will Fail the First set of Books, but are Written In The Book Of Life who will verily enter into The Kingdom Of Heaven. To be in The Perfect Will of The Father, of Jesus, Both Faith and Works must be One! When we enter into The Kingdom Of Heaven, Perfection must also enter in to be Presented to The Father, Jesus, Our Lord, takes care of All of Our Imperfections with a Clause. We Must Truly Accept Jesus As Lord and Savior, meaning that we have not only Accepted Jesus, but that Our Works Confess Likewise.

We are to be Perfect within Our Imperfections, meaning, we do Our Best to do The Works Of Jesus, if we Fail or Mess Up, Praise Jesus for His Grace and Mercy!!! But, we MUST Walk and Talk in the Grace and Mercy Of Perfection, no free rides!

Matthew 5:48 KJV

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

These are The Books that Proceed The Book Of Life!

Romans 6:15-19 KJV

"¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. ¹⁶ Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? ¹⁷ But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. ¹⁸ Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. ¹⁹ I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness."

Romans 9:14-15 KJV

"¹⁴ What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? God forbid. ¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."

 Too many are only concerned with The Book Of Life, but Not The Books Of Works. All of you who confess to be Called Of Jesus into the Ministry are most liken unto the Pharisees that Jesus Rebuked, so then I do the same!!! The Pharisees of the time of Jesus were more concerned about themselves then they were about The Will Of The Father In Peoples Lives! You who confess to be Called Of Jesus and ARE NOT!!! You take The Word and Manipulate it however it Pleases You and The People, avoiding such things that are Hard to speak or do! Too many of you pat a person on the back saying God Knows Your Heart, not realizing that God says that Our Hearts are wicked before Him! You who Confess to be Ministers of Jesus, are Ministers of Satan who’s primary work is Not to do The Will Of Jesus and The Father, but to Comfort Sin with Acceptance, being Blind do even lead the more so The Blind into utter darkness!!!

Do you Not Understand you CANNOT Escape The Books that are in Heaven! Every Man, Woman and Child will have Their Names written in at least One of The Books. Ask an Accountant if every sum must be accounted for and they will say yes, Jesus is much more Precise!!! Jesus said that Every idle Thought, idle Word will be Accounted for!

Word

Matthew 12:36 KJV

“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."

Thought

Matthew 5:28 KJV

“But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

All Books should be Equally Concerning to those who have been Truly Called By Jesus. The Offices (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher), that Jesus set forth were to Insure that the Whole Body would Walk according to His Will and The Fathers Will.

Ephesians 4:11-15 KJV

"¹¹ And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ¹² For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: ¹³ Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: ¹⁴ That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; ¹⁵ But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:"

Those who have been Truly Called into one of the Offices, are The Book Keepers, they are the Accountants Of Jesus, making sure every “I” is doted, these you will know. But to those who are not, will only be concerned with themselves and the cry of heathens, this you can see.

Jesus is coming,

Judgment is coming,

The Books will be Opened,

are YOU Ready?

Amen and Amen!!!

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

Pick Up Your Cross

Every person on the face of the Earth has some type of issue, rather in the Flesh or Mind or Spirit. But, Praise Jesus, He has come to Deliver us all, through Repentance, through Obedience, through a Relationship. Jesus has bore our Sins, our Infirmities to give us a more Abundant Life…so then, why does it seem that all of these things are of a time that has past?

Matthew 10:34-39 KJV

"³⁴ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. ³⁶ And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household. ³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

Do you Understand that to Pick Up Your Cross can mean the Separation of those whom you are acquainted with. This means, starting from the World first, your Boss, your Co-workers, your Friends, your Associations. How severe is this? If Jesus said that He came Not To Bring Peace, then why are we so Peaceful with Our Enemies? Even further are those of Our Own Homes that should be Our Enemies.

It is easy to disregard those who are in the World that we work around, but it becomes harder when it come to friends we have spent a Life Time with. Even more so, is it the Hardest to cast a Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, Stepson, Stepdaughter, Son In Law, Daughter In Law aside to Honor Jesus! For some their Cross that they bear is of great weight.

Jesus says, Jesus Demands that No One and Nothing, not even ourselves, are to Separate Us From Him and the Glorious Work He has done!

Romans 8:35-39 KJV

"³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

So many people have been taught incorrectly about the above Scriptures. They have been taught that there is Absolutely Nothing that can Separate You from Jesus and this is a Lie!!! There are those who say “Once Saved, Always Saved”, but where does that fit within the sets of Scriptures presented thus far? Jesus SAID, that if there is Not A Separation from those who do not know Him, who do not have a Relationship with Him, that WE are NOT WORTHY OF JESUS!!! So then, in the Scriptures in Romans, above, there is One Thing that is Not in the list… YOU!

Any of the things that are mentioned through Scripture this far can Separate You from Jesus Love. Just to make it clear, I’ll put them in a Readable List…

Peace

Father

Mother

Daughter

Son

Son In Law

Daughter In Law

Tribulation

Distress

Persecution

Famine

Nakedness

Peril

Sword

Death

Life

Angels

Principalities

Powers

Things Present

Things To Come

Height

Depth

Creature

Not one of these things can Separate Us from Jesus, but yet everything mentioned CAN Separate You From Jesus…BY YOUR CHOICE!!! In which is why you are not mentioned within the list, because You have Control over these things through Jesus in Obedience to Him.

Isaiah 59:2 KJV

“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear."

Many of you have been Separated from Jesus and do not even know it. You think that you are in Jesus Grace to Live however you want to, but you Do Not Understand His Grace. Jesus Grace is a Time given to you to Repent, to Change Your Ways, to Live as He Commands. The Hour is quickly coming when Our Lord Jesus will return.

Too many of you ignore Scripture to satisfy Your Flesh, saying we need to Re-Interpret The Scriptures to get them Modernized, Socially Acceptable! Does Jesus need to be Re-Classified, Re-Interpreted?

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

Picking Up Our Cross is sometimes hard to bear, but through the Power and Authority given to us by Jesus and The Holy Spirit, we can be More Than Conquerors. The Knowledge of the Scriptures easy, the Understanding of the Scripture is more difficult and the Wisdom of the Scriptures are the most hardest, many of you stop at Knowledge. Out of the three Knowledge is the most dangerous, you can Read the Bible from cover to cover and even do some of what it says in the Name Of Jesus and still be condemned to The Lake Of Fire!

2 Timothy 3:7 KJV

“Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

The “Knowledge Of THE Truth” is the Understanding and Wisdom in being in a Relationship with Jesus. We all have a Cross that we must bear, there is no way around it, but there are those who are Truly Saved By Grace that can and will help you and encourage you…but it is still Your Choice to Walk In Obedience To Jesus.

I have longed for a Relationship with my children, but we are separated through lies, and I will Not Compromise my Relationship with Jesus to have them in my Life.  For it is Jesus that has Sacrificed His Life, Shed His Blood to Cleanse Me, given me Grace and Mercy to Live His Ways…not my children, nor anyone nor nothing else.

Jesus said that in Bearing Our Cross we must Endure Until The End Of Our Lives in order to Please Him…

Matthew 24:13 KJV

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

The Cross I bear is heavier than most and not as heavy as others have had to bear, but in any case we are all equally required to Bear Our Cross in this Life unto Eternal Glory!

Stop allowing the Scriptures to be changed to an Acceptable Way Of Life. The same Word, the same Spirit, the same Jesus is Equal to all Unchangeable!!! No matter what anyone says, there is only One Living Word, One Living Holy Spirit and only One Jesus whom will be Our Judge.

Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV]

"⁴ [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ⁵ One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all."

 Anyone who has told you that Accepting Jesus would be an Easy Life has told you a Lie. Walking with Jesus, having a Relationship With Him is not easy by no means, it will be the Hardest Life you will Live…if you Walk In Obedience. Picking Up Our Cross is not easy, it takes Work, Dedication and Loss to fit into the Shoes Of Salvation that Jesus has given to us to wear.

Too many Pastors, church Leaders, have Not spoken of Obedience To Jesus, but have filled your ears with Comfort and Peace of your flesh, for many believe they have No Cross To Bear! To Bear One’s Cross, you will be at War, both in The Spirit and in The Flesh and if you are not, then there is something wrong that you have been taught. I am at War every day against things in The Flesh and in The Spirit that I must bear. To Bear Your Cross, is not a One Time Deal, it is a Life Time Journey that we must all Walk. There is No Retirement in The Walk With Jesus until it is Your Time to go home and in that you await Judgment.

I hear and read about wanting a Revival, but the only Revival there needs to be, is for us to Walk In Obedience To Jesus, Bearing Our Cross Daily. In doing so, Revival will happen In and Through Jesus to His Obedient Bride!

Repent…

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Amen and Amen!!!

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

Jesus Is Risen

Today around the World millions of people celebrate this day, as the day that Our Lord and Savior Jesus rose from the grave, bring New Life to those who Believe. It is the Greatest day of the year for many…but there is a problem, yet there are a couple. For us who are Born Again, The Blood Bought we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus, but to the Heathen it is a day of High Sales in candy, costumes, eggs, real or fake, egg dyeing kits, new clothes and other gimmicks for profit. The second thing is that what has taken place is the mixing and mingling of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus and a Pagan Celebration, Spring Equinox in which the Catholic church has mingled together for the sake of peace. If anyone was to do a Study of Easter you find that many of the things we celebrate date back to Germany and even Baal in the Bible, dealing with fertility. But enough said on this, the World and Us who are Blood Bought should not Celebrate as one.

 The Bible does not designate a single day for this Easter Celebration, but man has chosen to do so. The Reason the Scriptures do not designate a single day for The Resurrection Of Jesus Our Lord, is that our Newness Of Life, that is Our Salvation, should be a Lifelong Celebration each and every day, recognizing that each day we have been given to Celebrate what Jesus has done. The day that You Accepted Jesus as Savior is a day to Celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, because in His Resurrection and Your Belief, you are now also Resurrected into a New Life.

 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

“Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

John 10:10 KJV

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly."

 Every morning, every Born Again Blood Bought should bow, at least their knees in Giving Thanks to Jesus for allowing us to have another day to be a Living Testimony of His Resurrection. We need to understand that Jesus can at any moment of time take your Life, calling Your Life into a permanent record of Your Life, this is for both Heathen and Born Again.  We who are Born Again Blood Bought should Celebrate each passing day in the Resurrection Of Jesus, given to us through Him!

 Our Commission dealing with The Resurrection Of Jesus is as follows…

 Mark 16:14-16 KJV

"¹⁴ Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. ¹⁵ And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

 Matthew 28:18-20 KJV

"¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. ¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: ²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen."

This is Our Celebration of The Resurrection Of Jesus Our Lord and Savior!!! Our Lives are to be THAT Celebration of The Resurrection Of Jesus bringing New Life to those who believe!!! A Question for you to ponder…can you in One Day, a few hours of that day, Tell of Jesus Resurrection Power in you? If you can, then you have a problem with Your Relationship with Jesus!

 See, for me I am Anti Easter for the most part because of the Worldly Implication that it has brought, that we should not be a part of. But Understand this, I Celebrate The Resurrection Of Jesus In MY Life every morning, every day. If it was not for Jesus and Him giving me a New Life, I would have already died with No Hope Of A Resurrected Life in Him.

 When you Pray, it is ONLY because of The Resurrection of Jesus, when you Sing, it should ONLY be because of The Resurrection of Jesus, when you Work, it should ONLY be because of The Resurrection Of Jesus In Your Life, All Things that You Do or Say should be because of The Resurrection Of Jesus, for it is BY His Resurrection we Live a New Life, not of ourselves!

 If you want to Celebrate The Resurrection Of Jesus, then do it daily, without compromise. Our Lives being Lived IN The Resurrection Of Jesus is Our Testimony that cannot be taken away, nor can The World obtain the Resurrection Of Jesus, without first Accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord!!!

 One day, one hour cannot ever Celebrate The Resurrection Of Jesus, it takes a Life Time Of Obedience to His Word and The Holy Spirit to even come close!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

Happy Good Friday to You! This is my first blog EVER so thank you in advance for your patience. Since 2015 I have been divinely guided in a mission to bring clean water access to parts of Ghana, West Africa. Before and during these annual trips to Ghana,  the Lord has confirmed His Word with signs following and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to spearhead this effort. You know that faith is an action word and our faith works by love. Each time the Lord has directed me on this mission, something wonderfully unexpected happens. I will be going again the end of this month, and wouldn't you know it, the Lord has already done something wonderful! Actually, He's done quite a few things that make me smile just to think about it. But the one thing that I'm referring to at this five minutes is when I sent out this video to friends that have businsses, a couple emailed me (total stranger and not a friend to any friends that I sent the video to!) to learn more about what I'm doing in Ghana. We met by zoom and the wife of the couple said a friend shared the video with her because she said she wanted to go to Ghana in April. You will hear in the video that I will be in Ghana in April! So now, this coupld is not only going on the trip with me, they are purchasing a borehole as well!! One other thought about our wonderful Father is when I shared the video with one of my friends for her to share with business owners, she said she's going to share the video in the family meeting as well as her sisterhood club so that they can each purchase a borehole as a unit! Why didn't I think of families (or friends) purchasing a borehole together??! God's awesomeness is unfathomable. I and my sister's quickly purchased a borehole in honor of our mother that transitioned November 2021 because she was a true giver. Please watch the video and share your thoughts. I can also share more as I approach the big day and throughout my upcoming trip. I'M EXCITED!! Can you tell? Keep sharing your SHINE!   https://youtu.be/sfF-jcnFtMg

Confess Your Sins To God

Why is resurrection Sunday significant to the Christian faith?

Whether it is called Easter or Resurrection Sunday is not as important as the event and purpose of the resurrection. However, the timing of the crucifixion and resurrection is significantly meaningful. The resurrection of Jesus is the culmination of all things meaningful, faith, and fact, in establishing a relationship with God.

God used the timing, which occurred just after "Passover" and during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, to illustrate the ultimate sacrifice He made for sinners. Without this sacrifice, Christianity would be an empty religion. Every purpose of Jesus Christ, His atonement for sin, would be unfulfilled and the foundation of Christianity would fall apart.

The Passover commemorates God's "passing over" the Hebrew's homes by the angel of death (Exodus 12:29). By accepting Jesus, we are promised eternal life and we are saved from spiritual death. The Feast of Unleavened Bread (verse 15) begins with unleavened bread (made without yeast) and sacrificing an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. Leavening represents the escape from bondage and sin. Jesus is called the Lamb of God through whom the only escape is possible.

Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection are God's provision for the perfect and final sacrifice for man's sins. God requires no other payment for sins! With this provision, mankind is granted an opportunity for new life through the forgiveness of sin and escape from its bondage. It is ours for the mere acceptance of this gift.

This is the key event in the New Testament where it is proclaimed throughout. All four Gospels report the miraculous event. In Matthew 28:6 the angel declared "He is not here: for he is risen!" Mark 16:6 reports "'Don't be alarmed,' [the angel] said. 'You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.'"

In Luke 24:46-48, the risen Jesus gave His disciples a greater understanding of the resurrection when He told them: "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things." Jesus foretells of His resurrection in John 16; then to one of the doubting witnesses, Thomas, He says the following in John 20:29: "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

While Jesus was admired and praised as a teacher, healer, and for performing miracles, He was put to death on the cross. But God raised Him from the dead. Had the witnesses not believed what they saw, Christianity would not have spread across the globe and remained a profound belief to this day.
