Blessed Purim to all who celebrate it as well. (we incorporate the Hebraic calendar in our Christian church) busy day today. <strong> Think about this;</strong> On that Friday of 2000+ years ago, after Jesus died on the cross, now imagine you are a disciple or follower of Jesus. Then someone, maybe a Roman guard, comes to you and laughs, and yells in your face... <strong>"YOUR MESSIAH, YOUR JESUS, IS DEAD!"</strong> They then carry HIM away. This is just a tiny part of some of the greatness of these original followers and the Disciples, FAITH, LOVE, TRUST in GOD. <strong>Can you imagine? </strong> Today we KNOW what happened on that Sunday so long ago, the third day. We know what happens next, our Lord Rises, and we call it Easter. They did not have the benefit of 2000 years of Easter Sundays so as not to be afraid. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST. THANK YOU MY LORD, MY GOD. And thanks to those faithful and patient followers of THE Messiah, Jesus Christ. God Bless everyone here and everywhere on this Good Friday and Easter weekend. Blessed Purim to all who celebrate it as well. (we incorporate the Hebraic calendar in our Christian church) busy day today.

On that Friday of 2000+ years ago, after Jesus died on the cross, now imagine you are a disciple or follower of Jesus.
Then someone, maybe a Roman guard, comes to you and laughs, and yells in your face…
“YOUR MESSIAH, YOUR JESUS, IS DEAD!”

They then carry HIM away.

This is just a tiny part of some of the greatness of these original followers and the Disciples, FAITH, LOVE, TRUST in GOD.
Can you imagine?
Today we KNOW what happened on that Sunday so long ago, the third day. We know what happens next, our Lord Rises, and we call it Easter.

They did not have the benefit of 2000 years of Easter Sundays so as not to be afraid.

THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST.
THANK YOU MY LORD, MY GOD.

And thanks to those faithful and patient followers of THE Messiah, Jesus Christ.

All other religions are false, and that got those early Christians fed to lions. Happy Easter everyone, G-d died for us out of love, not the other way around.

All sorts of good celebrations! Happy [select your favorite religious celebration] to all. re Christians being thrown to the lions in the Coliseum: I believe that the legend part is that the throwing was done in the Coliseum, not that it was done.

I believe that the feeding of early Christians is pretty well documented. This caught my eye: <blockquote>Zen will also say that Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Jerusalem who approved the death sentence for Jesus, was the “symbol of all those who use authority as an instrument of power and don’t concern themselves with justice.”</blockquote> But Pilate's fatal flaw wasn't that he "use[d] his authority as an instrument of power..." like he <em>wanted</em> to get rid of Jesus. Pilate's flaw was that he did what was unjust because he was afraid of public opinion. samiam

Please keep our guys and gals in Iraq/Afghanistan in your prayers. At the end of the day I'll spend a quiet hour or two lighting candles and wishing for nothing but the best for those who have suffered/sacrificed for those of us here and around the world to celebrate Easter. My prayers for three countries trying to find their way amidst the chaos: Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel. I hope everybody here and around the world has a wonderful Easter.
