I want to give up but God won’t let me. Heavenly Father, give me strength this Christmas. As a single mom I’m struggling to make ends meet. Lord give me strength to get through each day. Both of my sons are autistic and require much from me. It’s difficult to raise children alone. BUT I keep faith Lord Jesus. Even as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. I’m so ashamed. Jesus deliver me from my anxieties, and my troubles. Heal me from my lupus and heart disease. Help me to find strength when I am weak, And hope when I am afraid. Amen. ❤

Thx John. A pretty clear word from Phillip on the subject. I'm a believer myself. Stay well down under.
Love the Aussies

This interviewee gets it right. The resurrection is the announcement that Jesus is King, the judge of the fate of every person. He is also the template for the new humanity for whom the new earth is being prepared.

Matthew 11:28-30 - "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" - Jesus

The ones who think the idea of His resurrection is dangerous are in for a REAL shock when He comes back!

[Apriluser]

His death put death to flight and gave us the hope of everlasting life! BCP

[bosse]

If not for Jesus we would all be hopelessly LOST.

[dantheman]

gets the popcorn ready for the chat, looking forward to this lol

As an idea, the Resurrection has inspired the best of Western Culture.
And that is true whether or not it is a fact.

Thank You!
John 3 : 14-16
‘And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
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.’ NKJV

Plenty of sane rational people have seen Jesus interceding in their lives unexpectedly.

[szendrich]

I wish he'd elaborated on why he believes the resurrection of Jesus is dangerous. I have my own ideas but I'd like to hear the view of a biblical scholar like Philip Jensen.

[blackrockproposal]

His resurrection is dangerous FOR WHO? That's the point🫰🏻

[dustedstar]

The Jesus fable was told many times prior thru history...nothing new

[zenyogasteve]

Still controversial today as He was when He was alive.

[KevinSolway]

It's incredibly arrogant to claim that nobody has any chance without Jesus. It is a case of extreme egotism, and possibly even insanity. The claim can't be supported by any reason whatsoever.

[jomansson]

Jesus taught love and forgiveness (but the Bible confused it all) so why is it dangerous if Jesus comes back?

[KurtBoulter]

It is so sad that people have been fooled into celebrating the birth of Christ Jesus on December 25th, when in scripture, the shepherds were out in the fields with the flocks, so NOT mid winter! Also, the scriptures warn people NOT to observe days, or weeks, or months and years, yet so called Christian do this for MANY days of the year! (Galatians 4:8-11) "Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. {9} But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? {10} Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. {11} I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
If we were to set aside a certain day, it would have been commanded in the Word of God, which it is NOT!
December 25th was chosen, by the Roman Catholic Church, the largest pagan cult in the world, because that day had several pagan gods celebrated on that day, and as pagan, the Roman Catholic Church wanted people to follow their false teaches, so absorbed the day, slapped the birth of Christ on it and the rest is history, that corrupts until this day! Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
