Soon, Jesus Will Burst Through The Sky Just As He Burst Through The Tomb, Nothing Will Hold Him Back. Series

Contributed by Coz Von on Jul 25, 2018

The same enemy who tried to keep Jesus in the grave tempts us to doubt. Doubt that the Bible is accurate. Doubt that such a miracle could happen. Yet we have the opportunity to be the people Jesus talked about when He said, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29).*
