     | 5,505 views

    The Lord Jesus intentionally chose a skeptic as one of the 12. Jesus proved beyond any shadow of doubt to the rationalist, Thomas, that He was resurrected from the dead. Thomas died preaching Him in India, because he knew that, "Nailprints don't lie!"

    The resurrection of Christ was not the type of event that you celebrate once, but doesn’t change your life. It demands a change in your life. The Resurrection of Christ validates everything the Gospel claims about Christ, and it verifies everything Christ requires of us.

MARK 16:1-8 Imagine the most important thing that could possibly happen to you in your life happens, but afterward, nothing changes. • You graduate from college, but instead of going out and securing a job, you just go home and continue to live with Mom ...read more
