Reconciling the Resurrection accounts in the Gospels

  Sunday 03/25/18 Week of His Passion 2018 Reconciling the Resurrection accounts in the Gospels Christ’s Resurrection led to a confusing day, as His followers raced around the city.

John 3:16-17, “(16) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (17) For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” That’s a big promise, but what does “believe” mean? In today’s world there is a lot of subjective thinking, and while that can be good, it will not help you understand a promise someone else made. What we […]
