    In the death of Jesus we see God’s Directing: God’s: 1) The Rich (Mt. 27:57–60), 2) The Relatives (Mt. 27:61), 3) The Religious (Mt. 27:62–66)

    One of the majestic attributes of God is His absolute sovereignty, His supreme rulership and ultimate control over all things in the universe. He has created and He sustains all things that exist, and He ordains and brings to pass all things that happen. Nowhere in Scripture is God’s incredible ...read more

    The significance of what we call Good Friday is what actually happened and for what purpose!

    If we look in the Bible, no matter which translation, we will not find the words “Good Friday”. The words Christmas and Trinity are also not in the Bible, does it mean we should ignore them? Absolutely not! Christmas, The Trinity, Good Friday, and even the word Easter are just words we ...read more

    Genuine Burial Shroud Of Jesus Found

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 26, 2018
     | 3,315 views

    The Shroud of Turin,the burial shroud of Jesus, contains a photographic negative of the Crucified Savior. A faulty study in 1988 said it was of medieval date. It has been overturned. A new study says that a light source brighter than any put it on there.

    Genuine Burial Shroud of Jesus Found When you see the Shroud of Turin, you are seeing a kind of supernatural photograph of Jesus, taken by God 2,000 years ago, as he lay in the tomb after his death by crucifixion. It undoubtedly happened at the moment of His resurrection. 1. THE IMAGE IS OF A ...read more
