The Long Expected Jesus
On the surface the Christmas story has all the trappings of a fairy tale: An innocent young girl, a miracle child, an evil king, slain children, mysterious and wise visitors who journey hundreds of miles across a foreboding desert, a star that behaves erratically like no other star before or since, the appearance of angels and a couple so poor they must lodge in a stable.
This is how God visited earth and herein is the indisputable evidence.
Nothing But The Truth
Herein the Apostle Paul tells of six events in his life that were so preposterous he feared no-one would believe him and so in each instance he affirms that as God is his witness he is telling the truth. Here you can walk with him along the Damascus Road, sit with him as he contemplates whether he shall ever see again. Discover the power of the truly risen Jesus and learn the mysteries of the Christian faith as Paul relates what was taught to him, not by man but by direct revelation from the Risen Christ. Paul affirms the full gospel of God’s mercy and love can be for even the worst of sinners. Suffer with the apostle as he is fiercely beaten, shipwrecked and ultimately beheaded. Rejoice with him as he comforts the down hearted by introducing them to a new life in
Christ and points them to Heaven where God actually transported Paul for a glimpse of Glory he shares with us. And most of all discover how you can have a new life in Christ. There is so much more Paul can teach you and “before God he lies not”. (Gal, 1:20)
