This video shows some interesting facts about Jesus. It includes information about a bright star that stayed in the eastern sky for 70 days in 5BC. This was included in the official records of China.
This is a very interesting short. More and more as technology increases, it looks like the Shroud of Turin really was a covering of Jesus after His death.
Several weeks ago I did a blog post on “Asking God for Faith and Revelation”. In it I talked about praying and asking God to reveal Himself to me as an unbeliever.
In the above video it talks about a similar idea. Approaching God with a humble and open heart with the view to knowing Him. I found it eachoed my thoughts. It is based on today’s Gospel reading of Matthew 13:10-17.
I remember seeing this image years ago as a part of the Louie Giglio series of DVDs. It never ceases to amaze me that the cross holds all of creation together even us!
Seeing this afresh reminds me of the passage from Colossians 1:15-20…
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, [16] for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see- such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. [17] He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. [18] Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything.
With the rising use of AI online I have made a decision to not use it on this blog. While I understand it can be helpful, I have chosen to keep this blog human.
I want this place to be true reflections on faith, life and the Bible. I want to read the Bible, pray, reflect and see what the Holy Spirit says to me, then write a post or sermon.
I know this means the occasional spelling mistake or grammatical error, but that is okay. We are all human and we all make mistakes. A small mistake like that is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
So this blog will be a real person reading the Bible and mulling it over with the Holy Spirit and then prayerfully writing what is on my heart. And hopefully that is enough to encourage the readers like you.
God Bless,
Dave
