~ Regarding Numbers, 2of2 ~
Introduction ~ This series is about questions involving Jesus. Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth. Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked others. We will look at questions on about 130 topics (some may split into two or more posts). Even so, it is far from an exhaustive list.
Scripture ~ “Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, ‘This is a hard saying; who can understand it?’ When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, ‘Does this offend you? What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. And He said, ‘Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.’
“From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, ‘Do you also want to go away?’ But Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
“Jesus answered them, ‘Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?’ He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve” (John 6:60-71).

~ The Story of Easter in Six Words ~
Introduction ~ Someone sent me the following statements describing Easter in just six words. Apparently, another website asked their followers to describe Easter using six, and only six words. Unfortunately, I do not know the origin. But here are some of the responses received.
“Empty cross, empty tomb, Heaven opened.”
“HE came, lived, died, rose, reigns.”
“God’s plan of reconciliation to mankind.”
“Numb Death Touched by Eternal Energy.”
“His Love Betrayed, was Love Displayed!”
“Nails didn't attach cross. Love did.”
“God's riches at Christ's expense (GRACE)...Hallelujah!!!”
Comment ~ Why not spend a few minutes to develop your best shot at a six-word description of Easter?
