The Surprising Sayings of Jesus Christ: 'The Son of Man Will Be Three Days and Three Nights in the Heart of the Earth'

by Scott Ashley

Jesus Christ plainly said He would be entombed for three days and three nights.

The Surprising Sayings of Jesus Christ: 'You Are Gods'

by Tom Robinson

The Surprising Sayings of Jesus Christ: Who Was Jesus Christ? - Part 2

by Tom Robinson

In the first part of answering this question, we examined Jesus' identity as the Christ. But what about the rest of Peter's statement, ". . . the Son of the living God"? We address that in this second part of "Who Was Jesus Christ?"

The Surprising Sayings of Jesus Christ: Who Was Jesus Christ? - Part 1

by Tom Robinson

We know His name. But what does the title "Christ" mean? What did it signify to Jesus' contemporaries? What expectations did it invoke? Did Jesus of Nazareth meet them, and was He truly the Christ?
