    Jesus died we need to have no doubt about that. Without Jesus’ death we would have no resurrection. Without the resurrection, we would have a worthless faith.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,297 views

    Jesus had no sin or impure motives that gave Satan legal access to His life. Satan could find nothing in Jesus - not even one square inch of territory - to which he could lay claim and thus gain access to Jesus’ heart. This is the reason why there was pro

    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.
