     | 1,972 views

    Sometimes we are tempted to think that life is so unfair. Where is God when we are suffering? We attempt to look at questions such as: Why does Jesus has to suffer and die? & What does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has to do with me?

    Part 1 : Facts About the Crucifixion Crucifixion probably started first with the Persians but perfected by the Romans to inflict the maximum pain to the victim.

     | 176 views

    Sin always pays its wages — and the result is death. We all run somewhere when confronted with our guilt — but where we run makes all the difference. Temporary fixes and “spiritual tourniquets” cannot save us; only Jesus can bring true healing and freedom.
