Mark 16:9-20 ~ Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation

Mark 16

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 

4 And looking up, 
they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 

6 And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” 

8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

[Some of the earliest manuscripts do not include 16:9–20.]

9 [[Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

12 After these things he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 

20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.]]



An Excellent Gospel Chapter for this Unusual Easter!


This Easter, we have prayed more, had more concerns, had fear, upset, boredom and questions. And then if you watched different Easter Services and different Good Friday Services, you are out of your regular zone and seeing new traditions and various approaches to God. You might have read John 20 and 21 in one Service and Matthew 16 in the other.


When I was a child, my mother used to enroll me in every VBS near the house. We learned Scripture
and answered questions, rewarded from bites of a cold Chocolate Bar. When I went back to Parochial School (we were Episcopalian, as my Step-Grandfather was an Episcopalian Priest for almost 60 years) and we were fortunate to have a laughing Priest who liked the Presbyterian Chocolate Bar idea and he included this in our weekly lessons.





This is nothing short of something Peter and Paul faced in the First Century.

1 Corinthians 14
26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. 27 If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. 30 If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged, 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

When Father God set forth on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter to implement His New Covenant to save the world in Jesus Christ - He began with different kinds of people. God was Proclaiming Jesus Christ as a Light to the Nations.

He included Jews, Legal Temple Officials very orthodox, Political Sanhedrin Council some were very liberal in belief, Governor who reported by letter to the  Roman Emperor, King telling his brother and sister about Jesus, maids, Disciples about to travel to all the know Continents, multitudes of women on Good Friday staying in Judea, guards and soldiers from other Nations going back to Rome, women He ministered to, the hiding Disciples and all of Israel.

And in 16 Years the Roman Emperor is going to be Very Upset.

Father God sorted this out expeditiously. Peter, who lived next door to the Synagogue, by choice in his adult life, outspoken, tactless, sometimes disloyal was going to the Orthodox Law Giving Jews. And Peter was going to build the New Church of Jesus.

Father God chose Paul, not of the flock in the 3 year ministry, to take half the world, having been educated at the feet of Gamaliel, wanting to kill Christians for the Temple efficiency and wanting to climb in Temple Orthodoxy career. To Go to the gentiles to explain Jesus Christ as the Merciful Son of God.

We've just said God is a God of order. God is. We look at this and see pandemonium. God has done as Julius Caesar said and rolled the dice. And the soldiers, who were Roman, did this at the Cross. God took their praises and created a truth about the very Body of Jesus Christ.

The Body of Jesus Christ is diverse. We have Stoics who are happy to have the Law to put their lives in order. Who are so grateful for forgiveness and the stability of a God path, that Grace and Forgiveness triumphing over past and future sin, is looking up. The Guidance of God the Father. The Bible calls these Nazarite.

We have Peter, who is sent to the Jews, who has an immediate response to the Works of God to Flee. Because he knows he is a sinner. And God sees something worthy in the man interested in John the Baptist before Jesus began His ministry. And Peter and Paul have something in common, they love the people they tell Jesus to. They are so full hearted, Mark writes His Gospel according to what Peter is asked about the most. The First Pope is so busy in the catacombs telling about Jesus and in the foreign quarter of Rome, Mark becomes a son to Peter in their Spirits and writes the Gospel. Stoic meets Epicurean with Love.

Romans were not generally Epicurean. They had pride in the Stoic ability of engineering, duty, dignitas, lineage. They were a little like - the Jews. God has an interesting way of Blending Hearts.

The Reason the Roman Empire was inspired during the dire weather of the 2nd Century A.D., the robbers and interruptions to trade and family business, the conflict of divorce ending cohesive families - the massive storms and fearsome lightning. The Antonine Plague caused by trade and probably smallpox or measles. Probably the reason the Roman Empire was inspired, prayers for healing, healing happened, care instead of disdain. God of Love. God of Encouragement.

The Roman Empire was erupting because Stoics and Epicureans and trauma and history and conflict and illness and family and plague all happened at once.

Now we have the framework to ask a question...
Why is the Gospel of John different from the Gospel of Matthew? John rejoiced to find Jesus. Jesus is telling of their thoughts of John's Blessing to have remained by the side of Jesus on Good Friday. Peter is told speaking to Jesus about their rather serious disagreement and parting on Good Friday. John not only has Wonderful Jesus Alive and fixing breakfast, Peter has given up walking on water and has had to swim like the rest of us. John has a portion of warm Emmaus in his heart, blessed of Jesus to want us to remember Jesus and His Love. John, we can all believe, wanted Peter there the day Jesus faced all of the Roman Legion and the multitude of women as Jesus suffered and John comforted Mary and His Aunt. John records not only is Jesus Loving, Jesus gets His Point across about Justice.


Matthew's chosen career, a tax collector, interested in benefiting himself and taking from the people while allowing Romans to flourish. His first response to being Called by Jesus, throw a party with the other Thugs. Let them know something Wonderful about Jesus. See Jesus Loves. Matthew is not recorded once as saying, anywhere, he wished to die with Jesus, As Thomas informed the Disciples Jesus had really gone and made them mad to make Lazarus alive and they'd be called to die with Jesus a week before Easter. Matthew is simply - silent. Disbelief, alarm, trembling and Jesus saying His Miracles persist. Jesus is back. Unbelievably. And just as Jesus as ever. Matthew is coming to Jesus from real guilt. He is so rattled "All of Israel" knows, Matthew is going to have to process all of this over time. How do tax collectors get taxes from the unwilling? Soldiers! Who showed up on Maundy Thursday after the New Covenant when Jesus was told not to go to Jerusalem? Matthew has been utterly and completely terrified. Matthew isn't a conflicting Easter, Matthew is a different seat at the Feast of Heaven table.

Could Matthew comprehend beyond thinking his former compatriots would nail him to a cross? Yes. Jesus is suggesting going forth into the world. Suddenly a very good idea. God says He makes His Enemies at Peace. Matthew wasn't a friend of Jesus to have heard what Thomas said a week before Maundy Thursday. Matthew doesn't run out entirely. You'd think he might have. Matthew is part of something as big as Revolution in the face of the Roman Empire. Matthew has had personal life ending fear, career buddies - soldiers, prophecy, prophetic failure, loss of Jesus, loss of Jesus Unbelievable. Matthew's Lava Lamp is very shaken.

He has the ability to see a few aspects of Jesus. Something like - what did the doctor say - in the middle of a week of medical emergencies.


And now, you will never forget, a social, career oriented, historical, saintly, sinner, economic, political discussion on Holiness of God's Abilities to Work all Things for Good in the middle of a century 200 A.D. known to be unprecedented.

God works in the middle of the storm, to bring Peace.

Psalm 131:2
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Matthew 18:2
Jesus invited a little child to stand among them.

Matthew 18:4
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Mark 10:15
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

Luke 18:17
Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

How the Pandemic will look from early, early pre-quarantine and again as the Pandemic ends!

Abba,

Grace and peace to us from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

May Jesus Christ in His Love, Mercy, Grace and Glory
surround us in His Love, the people we Love, in His Power and Kingdom.
To have eyes to see His Miracles and build daily on His Blessings.

To Bless our Nation,
In Healing, in Mercy, a Comfort to the Nations,
In Shining the Light of Jesus Christ,
for President Trump, Vice President Pence and the Virus Response Team.
The Governors and all the people up to their elbows in our daily care. Heroes.
All the Lights of Jesus Christ deciding how to Shine daily!

To know the Blessing of Seeking Him first and His Kingdom.
To Live Love, Joy and Peace.

Jesus saves the world. Amen.

Isaiah 49 ~ I will make all My mountains a road, and My Highways shall be raised up

Easter was Unique and Filled with Opportunities to find Joy. Even if our pastels appeared on television instead of actually going to Church. We know we will tell this Easter day to generations yet unborn!

We enjoyed 4 Easter Programs today. We read from the Gospel of Mark and were read to, to Look Upward. Enthralled I repeated, "Look up." And our Pastor then said, 'Now repeat with me, "Look Up!" ' So Edward and I repeated this, again.

If you have time this week... you might want to look at few Good Friday and Easter Sermons on Youtube.

When I have done this Sermon Youtube finding, (we zigzagged today between Easter activities and Sermons) I have found repeat Sermons; the messages are repeating in phrases due only to One factor. The Holy Spirit. Comfort. Comforter. Helper. Hear O Israel, The Lord Thy God is One. Last week during Holy Week, the Sermons said, "What will you learn from God this season?" In God's Timing, I'll be able to answer this for myself. And you will answer for yourself.

This Holy Week, I learned how much of Life is beautiful, how blessed we have been with plain life and in not counting the blessings, the Blessings almost passed by uncounted. And I feel assured in faith, more answers to this question of learning will arrive. We will look to the journey Father God gives and find the answers.

Easter, the message from different locations, was the same. Look Upward. Look Up.

Isaiah 49

Listen to me, O coastlands,
and give attention, you peoples from afar.
The Lord called me from the womb,
from the body of my mother he named my name.
2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword;
in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me a polished arrow;
in his quiver he hid me away.
3 And he said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”

4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;
yet surely my right is with the Lord,
and my recompense with my God.”

5 And now the Lord says,
he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
I will make you as a light for the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

7 Thus says the Lord,
the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:
“Kings shall see and arise;
princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

The Restoration of Israel

8 Thus says the Lord:
“In a time of favor I have answered you;
in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you and give you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
to apportion the desolate heritages,
9 saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’

They shall feed along the ways;
on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
10 they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.

11 And I will make all my mountains a road,
and my highways shall be raised up.
12 Behold, these shall come from afar,
and behold, these from the north and from the west,
and these from the land of Syene.”

13 Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the Lord has comforted his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted.

14 But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me.”

15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?

Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.

17 Your builders make haste;
your destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you.
18 Lift up your eyes around and see;
they all gather, they come to you.
As I live, declares the Lord,
you shall put them all on as an ornament;
you shall bind them on as a bride does.

19 “Surely your waste and your desolate places
and your devastated land—
surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 The children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
‘The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.’
21 Then you will say in your heart:
‘Who has borne me these?
I was bereaved and barren,
exiled and put away,
but who has brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
from where have these come?’”

22 Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
and raise my signal to the peoples;
and they shall bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

23 Kings shall be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
and lick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.”

24 Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?
25 For thus says the Lord:
“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
and the prey of the tyrant be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
and I will save your children.
26 I will make your  oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know
that I am the Lord your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

The work God has given mankind is to believe in the One He has sent. Jesus.

God has also told us we are like Living Stones. We are building. Believing and building are daily work. We have to put aside what is negativity and reach with great determination for what pulls us Up. Look Up. Work Up. Go Up. Believing in Jesus Christ and His Promises. Finding what is real in His Mercies Renew Daily. Finding how He Daily Loadeth us with Benefits.

God tells us in several verses. Heaven has Highways. The Hills and Highways of Heaven.

Wondrous. We are on this High Way today. Look Up. Jesus has plans for us, as Prodigal Children, to be run to by Father God.
When the Bible tells us of going to Jerusalem, God calls His New City, the Bible always says going 'up' to Jerusalem. Jerusalem, God's Chosen City, is upward in elevation.

One foot forward. One step 'Up'. In the time of virus, we say don't make the road too short. We all think this. God is saying something more wonderful. He is saying when we walk in His Paths, He is our Encouragement. He is our Joy and makes us Strong. Jesus never said I find the weakend sheep helpful. God has always said, I am The Good Shepherd. Jesus says this about the road to the Hills and Highway High Ways of Heaven, I am The Way.

Jesus goes on about being on the High Way, He says, "I am The Life."

The problems along the High Way are malnourishment in the place of nurturing. Sometimes from poverty of soul, love, finance, body, health, sadness. A bandaid that doesn't do healing: Sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.

The High Way works and has this: We walk with the Holy Spirit, Father God places in us. We love because He first Loves us.

We take one step up. We are Loved. We know within us God Loves us as our Father. Joy, God encourages Joy. He finds Joy gives us strength and generosity. Father God walks with us and shows us our Strength in God brings Joy. Father God gives us Peace. Not the always happy variety the Disciples of Jesus didn't have. Peace walking with Jesus we will find the blind see, the deaf and tender patience and then hear, the leper is held and healed, the dying have hope and are raised, parents receive their children back to them. New Life. Jesus doesn't walk down Mount Tabor from the Transfiguration and blast the disciples for being unable to help the horrified father of an ill son. Jesus is Patient. The father can't summon faith, Jesus helps with his kindness. The Goodness of God walking with us is to want goodness and mercy to be our footprints as David did. Jesus walks with us to give us faithfulness. The journey is decades long and Jesus gives us self control to take the next step 'up' to see the future with hope.

In Jesus Christ we are Looking Up. We are on the High Way leading to the hills and Highways of God's Living Kingdom. Today.

Abba,

Jesus was suddenly walking with the Disciples on the Road to Emmaus. And their hearts were strangely warmed and they asked Jesus to stay to eat with them. Your Words are Living and Active and when we long for Your Words, You are there.

To Know Scripture is to Know the Power of God. For Your Glory, Father God.

We ask You, to walk with us and guide us and lead us from this time. Help us and encourage us to see what this season teaches us. With Your Spirit, we will be Brave, filled with Valor, and Diligent. You have taught us, when we wander away and have fallen, You will search for us. Help us in those moments to be found by Jesus, wonderful Jesus.

Help us to see the Blessings in each day and in finding Your Blessings, the day is blessed. The times of refreshing more enduring. Meaningful Life. Abundant Life to Look Up and Find what You daily give us. If we don't see our blessings, we cannot live our Blessings.

In Your Enduring and Prevailing Love, Grace and Mercy we Live.

We are Blessed to seek You First. Blessed to be finding the High Way of Your Heaven today. Blessed to ask to see more Heaven upon earth. Blessed to have You as our Daily Bread. Blessed to ask to Live Love, Joy and Peace.

Blessed to pray in expectation of Your Love and Willingness. Blessed to say Thank You that during Holy Week, we have seen the Glimpse of Your Glory working to end this oppressive Virus.

In Jesus we Live and ask this for those we Love. We pray for our own strength, Love and ask Jesus to cover this Nation, those who lead this Nation and all other nations in this fight. 

The Light of mankind to shine with Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the Lord, Amen.

Matthew 28 ~ Greetings!

Matthew 28

Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.

 2 And Behold:

there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.

3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 

4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.

5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.”



8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

9 And Behold:

 Jesus met them and said,

“Greetings!”

And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

11 While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.










16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in  the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

The Pew Report said The United States of America are very unusual. 80% of the USA prays daily and feels God Himself is listening with great care. This is found more often in the Philippines and Ethiopia. One of the most prosperous Nations of the entire world prays as if it is a small, distressed nation - Before the Pandemic.

Wouldn't we say this is surely a Sign and Wonder of the New Covenant Jesus has brought us since the First Easter. Jesus is Emmanuel - God with us.

Jesus is with us to the end of the age. God the Father is still working to say Scripture from 2 millenniums is alive. We understand, today, when Jesus took hold of the blind man in the hometown of Peter, Andrew and Philip, He touched the blind man twice. It is this generation who understands the repair of eyes and then brain.

Pontius Pilate was discovered in the last 30 years to be a Historical figure. Roman papers were found sending him to Judea. Two of his carved proclamations were found in Israel archaeology. Until this time, he was widely proclaimed to be a literary, fictitious character.

Goliath was a friendly story to tell the children during Sunday School of the mythological David. Now we have a pottery shard of Goliath dating to his time and in his hometown. David has been found on the Tele Dan Steele and the Temple has been proven as well. David's Palace was located by a two generations, Professor of History by reading the Scriptures and in David's Palace was Jeremiah 36, Baruch, son of Neriah, is found. As written.

We know the date of the Second Exodus in Babylon and we know this to be On the second day of the month of Adar [16 March] 597 B.C.

Because Emperor Nebuchadnezzar II recorded Jeremiah 39 as well and both agree

Nebo-Sarsekim

was there as well! We also know the rations the King of Israel was given.

And you might say, ok, History. Babylon also records the Flood in Genesis far before the Babylonian Exile and Israel's Second Exodus.

And here is one that just can't be written backwards, or sideways, to have proof. Jesus took His Disciples to Caesarea about 30 A.D.

Matthew 16
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

Peter died about age 62 and was buried in the poor part of Rome. Almost 300 years later, Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D.. This proclamation legalized Christianity and allowed for freedom of worship throughout the Empire. And the Vatican was built upon Peter's tomb we found after 60 years study was done under the Altar of the Vatican.

It looks like this under the Vatican because dirt was thrown in to make a firm foundation on the cemetery hill:



This is Rome 300 A.D. The part of the city allowing foreigners to live in Rome. And foreigners are buried here.



The graves had decayed in 300 years, but the 62 year old muscular fisherman was found missing his feet from being removed from the cross. And his grave had been protected by years... by a Large Rock roof. The "Rock" upon Jesus' Church is built. Keeping the bones intact.



The area is filled in with 300 years of graffiti from pilgrims wanting to see where Peter was buried.  Rome's Mamertine Prison also records the arrival and death of both Peter and Paul. Scripture records instead their Abundant Life!

Jesus is Alive!

This is all interesting testimony. God has told us He does not lie. Numbers 23:19,Titus 1:2,Hebrews 6:18.
