Sometime in the mid-'80s, I remember going to Atlanta with a group from my church to see the Shroud of Turin, the linen cloth that some have claimed was the cloth that Joseph of Arimathea used to bury Jesus and place Him in the tomb. I remember images and videos in that crowded exhibit hall that told the story of the shroud, and of course, the shroud itself was on display in a glass case. I was probably 12 or 13, so I wasn’t mature enough in my faith to be able to conclude whether it was real. I do...

The Turin Shroud has been at the center of debate for centuries with many believing it was the cloth used to wrap Jesus's body after the crucifixion. ====================================================================== Scientists are inching closer to determining whether the famed Turin Shroud is indeed the cloth in which Jesus was wrapped. Experts have now stated that the linen can be traced back to the beginning of the AD era, aligning with the time when Jesus was crucified. The shroud, which bears a faint outline of a bearded man believed to be an imprint left by Jesus's body, was first displayed in 1350 and...

On this date in 1579, the treacherous execution of a rebellious Japanese lord set events in motion that would shape the nation’s destiny. For two centuries, Japan had been shaken with civil strife in the Sengoku, or “Warring States”, period. Hatano Hideharu, chief of the minor Hatano clan, got himself on the outs with powerful daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Nobunaga’s samurai general Akechi Mitsuhide forced Hideharu’s capitulation, convincing him to lay down his arms by offering his own mother as a hostage.* And here’s where the bodies start piling up. Nobunaga overruled Mitsuhide’s promise of safe conduct and had Hatano Hideharu...

A Christian in the Philippines has been nailed to a cross for the 35th time to mark Good Friday and pray for world peace as faithful around the world observe the Holy Week of Easter to commemorate their belief in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. More than 100 people turned out to see Ruben Enaje, a 63-year-old carpenter and sign painter, and ten devotees be nailed to wooden crosses - real-life reenactments that have become an annual spectacle drawing tourists to rural communities in Pampanga province, north of Manila. The gory ritual resumed only last year after a three-year pause...

ABSTRACT: Jesus of Nazareth underwent Jewish and Roman trials, was flogged, and was sentenced to death by crucifixion. The scourging produced deep stripelike lacerations and appreciable blood loss, and it probably set the stage for hypovolemic shock as evidenced by the fact that Jesus was too weakened to carry the crossbar (patibulum) to Golgotha. At the site of crucifixion his wrists were nailed to the patibulum, and after the patibulum was lifted onto the upright post, (stipes) his feet were nailed to the stipes. The major pathophysiologic effect of crucifixion was an interference with normal respirations. Accordingly, death resulted primarily...

Thy life, O Lord, is ebbing fast, Thine eyes are growing dim at last; How near to death Thou art! I hear Thou heave one heavy sigh: It is the last, the loudest cry That broke Thy Sacred Heart, That broke Thy Sacred Heart.

Note: Jack originally published this article in 2003. It remains one of the most popular on this site, and for good reason. It’s a great example of what we love about his studies: taking God at His Word and not relying on human logic or tradition. This study has been an eye opener for so many, but some have had a hard time reconciling the differences between the Jewish calendar and their own, in particular, that the Jewish day begins at sundown. I created the new image you’ll find at the bottom of the article, hoping that a visual representation...

I would like to broaden your understanding of the book Jesus read from while in the synagogue of His home town, Luke_4:16-30 so that you may better appreciate the book written by the Fifth Evangelist.Isaiah is the most often quoted prophet in the New Testament, yet his book can be as obscure as it is interesting. Even many Christians will admit they know very little about the book and what it has to offer for their walk with Christ. Other than being familiar with a few famous passages that foretold the advent of Christ Isa_9:6 and his suffering Isa_53:1-12, most...

Good Friday—a holiday in just 10 states—is celebrated by most Christian denominations, with fasting and somber worship services that often end in silence.Before Christians joyously celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, they first must make a gruesome stop at a hill called Calvary. Two days before the trumpets sound, and churches—many opening for the first time in a year—fill their sanctuaries with lilies, dogwood, and alleluias, we first must witness the hideous trial of the sinless Lord, the bloody brutal scourging by Roman soldiers and his anguishing suffering and suffocating death on the cross, a day called...

I believe that there is a real possibility that Wednesday, January 20, 2021, God might offer to Trump a type of PALM SUNDAY, which will help to spiritually wake up and lead back to God many people. But shortly afterwards there will be the CRUCIFIXION. Those who pray and live their prayer (“THY will be done”, not “MY will be done”), will receive the grace of final perseverance in this period of the purification of the Church (CCC 675-677), and of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) so as to arrive to the eternal RESURRECTION (Zech 13:7-9).

The Bible says that Pilate couldn’t care less about Jesus. Pilate actually interviewed Jesus and also sent him to King Herod for examination. The testimony of the Bible says that none of these men, rulers in Judea, were able to corroborate the false claims... “Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. I...

When The Passion of the Christ opened in theaters on February 25th, 2004, it not only gave us the rawest, grittiest glimpse into the last 12 hours of Jesus Christ, but it would leave a lasting impression that would forever change the way we look at the events that transpired in human history, and get a stronger glimpse of the price that was paid for us so that we would not stay forever stuck in the habits, mindsets, condition of heart, and the consequences that all of them inevitably leads to. Isaiah 53:5--700 B.C. But He was wounded for our...

...Like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. ...Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering... He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all,...

It was after the crucifixion of the Messiah of Israel that Satan and godless Israelites rejoiced in their demonic triumph of unrighteousness. They thought that they had done away with “This Man”, this Miracle Worker, this Preacher of RIGHTEOUSNESS, this violator of the Sabbath, the "messiah", this One who claimed to be Almighty God the Son; and it was exhilarating to their godless mind (Matt. 27, Luke 23). As the Sabbath day was about to begin these godless men made their preparation to finish “their” Feast of Passover and partake in “their” man-made traditions (Matt. 15:7-11, 23, John 18:28). Satan...
