Setting The Stage For A Coming Messiah

Video Illustration

Produced by Coldwater Media

This clip, from Drive Thru History with Dave Stotts "The Gospels" examines why it is important to understand the history of the Israelite beliefs and the history of the Jewish religious culture that Jesus was born into. The Torah begins with the story of Adam and Eve and the resulting separation of God and man. It was in this story that the Israelites got their first hint of a coming messiah.

Easter: Matthew 28:6

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

The story of Jesus is the greatest story ever told. Especially the last few days leading up to his crucifixion. Jesus entered Jerusalem while people praised his arrival. As the days progressed many would betray him, even some of his closest disciples. He would be handed over to officials and sentenced to death by being nailed to a cross. But by God’s grace the story doesn’t end there. After 3 days of being buried in a tomb, Jesus would rise from the dead just as he promised.

Scripture: Matthew 28:6
