Nazareth was a place that had no real attention paid to it and only became famous for one reason. It was the hometown of Jesus. Outside of that Nazareth was a small, non-descript village that has no mention in the Old Testament.

n some sense, the Dead Sea Scrolls have nothing to do with Jesus because they were most of them, with a few possible exceptions, copied before Jesus was even doing His earthly ministry. But they do help us understand the world into which Jesus...

The phrase “gave up the ghost” is an old English translation of the Greek phrase “paradidōmi to pneuma.” The old English phrase means the moment a person dies as if the soul is released when the body transpires. 

Jesus took on flesh like ours, and he suffered in the same ways as we do. It was essential that the Christ take on human flesh to redeem all that had been lost. Anything less would fail to accomplish God’s purpose of redemption.

God had always intended to send his Son at that precise time; Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection were not afterthoughts. And then there’s the fact that the world would look so very different today if Christ had never been born.

We must not put our faith in objects. There is the temptation to put faith in something rather than someone when tough times arise. If an inanimate object (statue, rosary, cross) gains power in the individual’s mind, it replaces the real, living...

Establishing Jesus’ family tree confirms the prophecy that Jesus would be a direct descendent of Bible patriarchs and heroes and, therefore, the long-awaited Messiah. The gospels, which list Jesus’ family line, were written by two scholarly men:...

In his death, burial, and resurrection, as well as the proclamation of the gospel, everything foretold by the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms has been fulfilled. But there is still more that lies ahead in the future, still awaiting fulfillment.

Jesus made it obvious that he was the suffering servant. Even if people never read the New Testament, they can see from the example Jesus gave that no one matches the Suffering Servant quite as well as he does.

Jesus Christ is the only reason we can truly live peacefully with God. The right relationship with God is the foundation of living in harmony with all His creation. Jesus Christ is called the Prince of Peace because He alone is able to restore...

Jesus was perfected by his suffering and those who abide in Christ are also being perfected. Christ overcame darkness by rising from the grave, and we have also been raised, but we still suffer until we are finally united with our Savior in...

If we do a cost-benefit analysis of being a disciple of Jesus, what do you think would be the final analysis?

Of all Christianity's teachings, no doctrine is more central than the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The resurrection has been attacked from every angle, so what proof is there that it happened?
