Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 23, 2021

Seeing Is Believing--Sometimes

Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 8, 2001

How is it that the guards at the tomb had first hand experience of the power of the resurrection, and yet, they chose not to believe?

One is encouraging the other. "Cheer up, it’s Sunday morning. As I see it, we have one more day of guarding the ...read more
