For centuries we have recognized that Jesus was all God and all man, but here it ...read more

    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,018 views

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    The story of Jesus betrayal, arrest, and trial could be seen as a dark time, but it teaches us things about faith, suffering, and finding the will of God in our lives like no other portion of Scripture.

    I hate politics. Politics at its worst is the manipulation of people and processes to get your way. I’m sure there’s a good side to politics – but I haven’t seen it lately. Certainly it was politics at its worst that was operating in Palestine around 33AD when the ruling religious political group ...read more
