NOTE: "'Twas the Night before Easter," ficticious in nature, is based on the true, Biblical story of Jesus and His Resurrection, found in John 20:1-31. These Scriptures are courtesy of WWW Bible Gateway where you may also read the full narrative from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Now I know Jesus was lost in the temple as a little boy, but a "lost tomb"?? I learned, from early Sunday school days, that Jesus died on the Cross, was laid to rest in a borrowed tomb; that He lay there for three days and three nights, sealed by a Roman seal, guarded by a Roman guard, and raised from the dead on the third day, according to the Scriptures!I'm a born-again Christian; I believe in the validity of God's Word; nothing more, nothing less. God does not need us to defend Him and His Word; it is truth and stands throughout the ages to proclaim that Christ is indeed alive; He has conquered death forever more.
A coming documentary and certain recent news articles arise to tell us that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene; that he had a son named Judah; that DNA proves WHATEVER....but it's not in the Word of God. And how do we as Christians react?
Christians arise from the four corners of our world to proclaim not a lost tomb but a Living Lord......read the news articles below and the Christian commentary that follows, along the Bible study links of apologetics and theology found on the Internet...enjoy faith-related devotionals and let us celebrate the Resurrection of Our Living Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords forevermore!
