Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

Ah wisdom, who can have it? Who can live wisely in such a strange corner of the universe? Who can live on this place they call Earth? More so, who can live rightly?

Tears At The Tomb Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

John makes Mary the first to see the risen Christ, and the first to have her tears of grief wiped away by the reality of the resurrection.

It I had a dollar for every tear shed by men and women if the Bible, I would be a wealthy man, for the Bible is a book soaked with the tears of the saints.
