Contentment. Satisfaction. Fulfillment. However you want to express it, it’s something that we place a high value on in our society.

Billions of people around the world know about the God of the Bible (the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) because of Jesus’ life, death, claimed resurrection, and teachings.

It would be remarkable for a Jewish person to claim his own divinity; however, it is even more extraordinary that Jesus’s early Jewish followers agreed with his divine claims! Throughout the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, […]
