Meg, I saw that story on Fox News and it is the sweetest thing! I truly loved it! I heard them say they that someone had cut his ears off before they found him. Isn’t that awful?
I just love stories with happy endings.

Evenin' Mayor, FR's Finest.

Here's a story from last week regarding a local "peace" demonstration.

I know both of the individuals involved and I'll just comment, Semper Fi, Marine!

The Tomb Of Jesus

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Luke 24:1-12

He is not here, but is risen! —Luke 24:6

In his documentary The Lost Tomb of Jesus, Simcha Jacobovici claims archaeological evidence that disproves the resurrection of Christ. He says that the words “Jesus son of Joseph” found on a burial container near Jerusalem refer to Jesus of Nazareth. He also claims to have identified Jesus’ DNA.

How valid are these conclusions? The Israel Antiquities Authority calls them “nonsense.” Other secular and religious scholars agree. Jesus and Joseph were common names in first-century Judea. And Jacobovici needs DNA samples from Jesus to compare with the bones in the tomb. Obviously, that’s impossible!

But there are strong arguments in favor of Jesus’ resurrection. Most compelling is the fact that every disciple except John died a martyr’s death. Central to their message was Jesus’ resurrection (Acts 2:29-32). If Christ had not been raised from the dead, why did the disciples choose to die rather than deny it?

Assaults on our faith and on the Scriptures come and go. Don’t be shaken by these baseless attacks. Two thousand years ago, the disciples were eyewitnesses to the real tomb of Jesus. The angels told them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!” (Luke 24:5-6).

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign.  —Lowry

The resurrection is a fact of history that demands a response of faith.

Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 25–27; Proverbs 29:21-27
