A Terrifying Victory

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

The mind cannot grasp all that Jesus went through on the cross, but we need to try because He went through it all for our salvation.

I remember learning a poem when I was a boy, which you will no doubt recognize. The first lines were, “Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are.” I have been told that this poem is out of date, for the scientifically educated modern child can say, “Twinkle, twinkle little star, I ...read more

To Hell And Back

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

When Jesus cries out, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me!" He admits he has been forsaken by the one Person we expected to be his supporter to the end. But God cast his vote with the rest and says, guilty.

Good Friday

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Jesus is identified with the lamb, for they die without a fight. They meekly go to their death without attacking or resisting. Jesus laid down His life voluntarily, and He did not, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, snarl and rip and tear at His crucifiers.

Two leading British scientists have done a great deal of research, and they have concluded that Jesus died on Friday April 3rd, 33 A.D. Collin J. Humphreys and W. G.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 22, 2025

The enemy mocking and hissing at a defeated and downtrodden people was the delight of passers-by, but persecuted Christians suffer that today increasingly. It’s an ugly world when sin is in control. Wickedness these days is galloping. Do not oppose the Jew or Israel.

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 13, 2024

Matthew led us to see the heart of Jesus for our salvation. Jesus chose not to defend himself, endured the mockery of men, and died to pay the price of our sins.

He was sinless and righteous but He has chosen not to defend Himself. • We have the sinless being ...read more
