    Part 1 of a 2 part series on the Death and Burial of Jesus. By integrating the gospels, we can easily see all of the details provided in all four gospels. This message is the crucifixion story in a logical order with nothing added to Scripture and nothing taken away.

    Luke 23:26-34 As the chief priests led Jesus away to be crucified, they laid hold of Simon the Cyrenain. Simon, (the father of Alexander and Rufus - Mark 15:21), was coming out of the country.

    INTRODUCTION — THE TREASURE WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR Every child dreams of buried treasure.
