Jesus is great! He is the LORD of all!
    He is God!
     Jesus is the Messiah!

 He came to earth many years ago so that we might have life abundantly.

He died on the cruel cross at Calvary, so that we might be set free.

John 18:17-18  "Carrying his own cross, he went to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).  Here they crucified him, and with him two others-one one each side and Jesus in the middle." 

John 18:30  "... Jesus said, It is finished. With that, he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit." 

He was buried in a borrowed tomb.

John 19: 38-41  " Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of  Jesus.  Now Joseph was  a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away.   He was accompanied by  Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about seventy-five pounds.  Taking  Jesus'  body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance of Jewish customs.  At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. " 

He rose again!

  Matthew 28:5-6 " The angel said to the women, Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."  

 He ascended into heaven! 

 Acts  1:7, 9  "He said to them : It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.  After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight."   

Luke 24:50-51  " When had led them out to the vicinity of  Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven."

  He is preparing a place for those who trust in him! 

 John 14:3 "And if  I go to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. "

 Do you know him?
