He’s Alive! Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. He is our Yom Kippur, (our Day of Atonement), our Passover Lamb, and the sin sacrifice in fulfillment of all Scripture. Now, He is the Resurrection and the Life. We do not worship a dead god. We worship aContinue reading “Luke 24:1-49”

At The Cross We have finally come to the cross of Christ. For three years, Jesus taught, discipled, healed, fed and lived among the people. Now, He is about to go to the cross for them, and us. Vs 26-31 As they led Him away, they seized Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, andContinue reading “Luke 23:26-56”
