“When she had said this, she turned around, and beheld Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.” (John 20:14) So who was the first person to see Jesus alive on Easter Sunday morning? Hm? I’m talking about a man or a woman who actually saw the Lord with their own two […]

April 21, 2011 by
“But Jesus turning to them said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.’” (Luke 23:28) What are you sad over?
