How Doctrine Develops
By JP Nunez

Resurrection / Cross / Suffering
Resurrection / Cross / Suffering
By Ralph Hathaway
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Easter is here and will not go away. We should relish in the realism that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, is risen, and death from sin has been destroyed.

I totally agree with them, the movie is difficult to watch and it is upsetting. That is exactly why we must watch it!
