The Easter story in the Bible is the historical account of the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as documented in the New Testament. Primarily found in the Gospels of Matthew (chapters 26-28), Mark (chapters 14-16), Luke (chapters 22-24), and John (chapters 18-20), it affirms Jesus’ victory over sin and death, which is the […]
The Bible indicates that Jesus’ age at death was approximately 33 years old. This is traditionally calculated from Luke 3:23, which states He was ‘about thirty years of age’ when He began His ministry, combined with the Gospel of John’s account of a ministry that spanned roughly three years. The life of Jesus Christ is […]
Willem Dafoe is an actor who portrayed Jesus in the highly controversial 1988 film, ‘The Last Temptation of Christ.’ The movie is based on a fictional novel, not the Gospels, and presents a version of Jesus that directly contradicts the Biblical account of His sinless, divine nature and His triumphant victory over all temptation. Many […]
The term ‘zombie Jesus’ is a modern, secular mischaracterization of Christ’s resurrection. The Bible teaches that Jesus did not return as an undead ‘zombie’; He was resurrected in a glorified, perfected body, victorious over death (1 Corinthians 15). This resurrection is the foundation of Christian faith, signifying new life and redemption, not a return to […]
Saying ‘good morning Jesus’ is an intentional act of starting your day by focusing your heart and mind on the Lord. It can be a simple, spoken prayer of thanks, a moment of reading scripture like Psalm 143:8, or listening to a worship song to set a reverent and peaceful tone for the day ahead. […]
Luke 20 recounts a series of confrontations between Jesus and the religious leaders in Jerusalem. He asserts His divine authority when questioned, tells the parable of the wicked vinedressers to prophesy His rejection by Israel’s leaders, and wisely answers trick questions about paying taxes to Caesar and the nature of the resurrection, demonstrating His supreme […]
John 5:19 is Jesus Christ’s response to accusations that He was making Himself equal with God. In this verse, Jesus affirms His perfect unity and operational harmony with God the Father, stating that His actions are a perfect reflection of the Father’s will. It is a profound declaration of His divinity and shared nature with […]
John 1:17 is a foundational verse that contrasts the Old Covenant with the New. It teaches that while the Law, a holy standard from God, was delivered through Moses, it could not provide salvation. The ultimate gifts of God’s unearned favor (grace) and ultimate reality (truth) were perfectly and fully delivered to humanity through the […]
The cleansing of the temple refers to the biblical event where Jesus Christ drove merchants and money changers from the Temple in Jerusalem. Recorded in all four Gospels, this powerful act demonstrated His divine authority and righteous anger against the desecration of His Father’s house, declaring it must be a house of prayer, not a […]
The claim that modern images of Jesus Christ are based on Cesare Borgia is a popular but historically unsupported theory. There is no direct evidence linking Borgia to the standardized depictions of Jesus that evolved over centuries. The Bible itself offers no physical description of Jesus, emphasizing instead His divine nature and redemptive work, which […]
