Read: Matthew 27:32-44
When Kelly Steinhaus visited Harvard Square to ask college students what they thought of Jesus, the answers were respectful of Him. One said He was a person who took care of people. Another said, He sounds like a cool guy. Others rejected Him outright: He was just a guy. I dont think He was the Savior. And I do not accept any faith system that says, I am the only way to God. Some people thoughtfully question who Jesus is and some reject Him.
As Jesus faced death 2,000 years ago, many people mocked the idea that He was anyone special. They put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS (Matt. 27:37). Those who said, You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! (v.40) were doubting His power. The religious people even said, He saved others; Himself He cannot save (v.42).
In His death, Jesus may have seemed powerless. But when we read the whole story, we see that He gave His life willingly. He proved Himself to be the Son of God and limitless in power as He burst forth from the tomb. Grasp the value of His death and behold the power of His resurrection. Hes the Savior of the world!

Holloman is one of those bases where something interesting seems to always be going on.
Nice AFB.
I’ve been in the area several times. It’s right next to White Sands National Monument. And it’s not too far from the site where America’s first atomic bomb was tested before dropping them on Japan. I’ve been to that atomic bomb site, too.
I’ve been there!... but it was a long time ago, 1974, and I was wearing my blue suit in those days. I was TDY for a project, discussing testing of an inertial navigation system.
However I was close enough to see their airfield light about 10 months ago. I saw it from White Sands Missile Range, where I was involved in preparations for a Surface To Air Missile system test. Test went well, but I was laid off 2 months before the test. In fact I was out there my last week, training my replacement. I’d been out there a lot in the previous year plus, but didn’t realize how close our test site was to Holloman.
Holloman and White Sands Missile Range are now a Joint Base.
