Ta Da! Christ Has Risen Indeed

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Apr 12, 2017

A Sunday School teacher asked the class: "What were the first words Jesus said after leaving the tomb." A little girl lifted her hands in the air and responded; "Ta Da"! O' Beloved; Ta Da Jesus Christ has Risen indeed.

The Fourth Word From The Cross: "Eloi, Eloi, Lema Sabachthani?" Series

Contributed by Ravin Caldera on Apr 18, 2017

This is a reflection on the forth word from the cross, which is a very difficult passage for exposition. These words give a deep expression of faith ("my God, my God"), universal cry for justice ("why") and, words of deep mystery ("have forsaken me").

And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34). As Mark stated, about Jewish ninth hour or in our time three o'clock there was darkness over the whole land—out of darkness and despair ...read more

Our Accountability Before God

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 23, 2021

In his series of revival messages, the late evangelist and teacher Dr. R.A. Torrey (1856-1928) sets the foundation of all he will preach by presenting God in all His splendor, creativity, rationality, and holiness, and that we will be held accountable before Him one day. Be ready.

God is Great! That thought comes out in the Bible from the first verse to the last. He is majestic, infinite, and wonderful beyond words! This entire universe, of which we something new about every day it seems, is His creative work. The supreme difference between the teaching of the Bible and ...read more

Joy Versus Happiness

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 12, 2015
