Mel Gibson: "I consider the Gospels to be verifiable history... every single one of those guys [the Apostles] died rather than deny their belief. And nobody dies for a lie. Nobody."
Nobody dies for a lie.
In 2016, firefighters rushed into a house that was already engulfed in flames after a sudden early morning fire broke out. Inside the thick smoke was an 18 month old toddler trapped alone in one of the rooms.
Witnesses and rescuers later said something unusual happened during the rescue, the baby was not screaming in panic or crying hysterically the way most children would in such a terrifying situation. Instead, as the firefighter carried him out of the burning house,
the child kept repeating just one word over and over:
“Jesus… Jesus… Jesus.”
He survived the fire, and many who heard the account described it as a powerful moment of faith in the midst of danger, seeing it as a reminder that even in life threatening situations, calling on the name of Jesus brings comfort and hope.
Praise God!!
This is why Poland is great 🇵🇱
In Poland, couples celebrating 50 years of marriage are honored with the Medal for Long Marital Life, presented by the president. To date, over 1 million medals have been awarded.
The medal features a silver star with two central roses, representing love, loyalty, and the significance of family in Polish culture.
Plane seemed like it was going down, everyone was in fear, until two on fire sisters in the Lord started praying in tongues.
The plane levelled out, drama over.
PRAYER HAS POWER! Amen.
Jesus did not just die. He was brutally tortured: In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.
In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress.
At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.
A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.
Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!
The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion.
To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.
This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.
Jesus is King!
