The Death and Resurrection Consolidated

Many people don't realise (or experience) the depth of meaning in how Jesus died, nor what this means for them. The idea of this story is to be both an emotional appeal and a factual account, with appropriate embellishments, in an engaging, intriguing story about the death and Resurrection of Jesus. Many people don't feel much emotion toward the recorded events. This is an effort to change that. Many people also get caught up on what seem like differences in the Gospels. This is the Gospels (along with part of Acts and other references) consolidated, so that it is clear that there are no contradictions/discrepancies.
Warning: There is violent depiction of death contained in the story.

The Audacity of Grace: Jesus Atonement for All
This book is a deep dive into the ocean of Christian theology, specifically focusing on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It's not just a rehash of old ideas, though. It takes a fresh look at the age-old question: did Jesus die for everyone, or just a select few? The author starts by laying a solid foundation, explaining the problem of sin and how it separates us from God. Then they introduce the Old Testament sacrificial system, showing how it foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. But the real meat of the book is its exploration of Jesus' life and work. The author unpacks the mind-blowing concept of the Incarnation - God becoming human - and shows how Jesus' sinless life and sacrificial death on the cross bridged the gap between us and God. And don't worry, it's not all just theological jargon. The author does a great job of explaining complex ideas in a clear and engaging way. They use vivid imagery and relatable examples to help us grasp the profound truths of the Atonement. The book also takes us on a fascinating tour through church history, showing how theologians throughout the ages have wrestled with the scope of the Atonement. It's a reminder that these questions aren't new; Christians have been grappling with them for centuries. But the book doesn't just leave us with head knowledge. It also explores the practical implications of the Atonement for our lives and for the mission of the Church. It challenges us to live in light of the cross, to extend forgiveness, to pursue social justice, and to share the good news of God's love with the world. In short, this book is an invitation to rediscover the heart of the Christian faith, to be awed by the audacity of God's love, and to be transformed by the power of the cross. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the Atonement and its implications for our lives and our world.Complete
The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ
"If thou knowest not how to meditate on high and heavenly things, rest on the Passion of Christ, and willingly dwell in his sacred wounds. For, if thou fly devoutly to the wounds and precious stigmas of Jesus, thou shalt feel great comfort in tribulation." This book details the visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, an Augustinian nun, concerning the horrific sufferings our Dear Lord Jesus Christ; revealing to us more information about the Life of Jesus Christ besides what we read of Him in the Bible. This includes: - the Last Supper, - the Agony in the Garden, - the Arrest, - the Scourging, - the Crowning of Thorns, - the Trial by Pontius Pilate, - the Carrying of the Cross, - the Crucifixion, - the Dying on the Cross - the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is available in the public domain. The only reason I have added it here is because it is easier to read. Hope this brings you closer to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.Complete
He saved you He saved me What about others?
The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!Complete
Transcendence 2
As we go through life most people crave more wisdom, understanding, more happiness, more faith, less stress, and less anxiety. The Bible is filled with relevant lessons, meaningful insights, guidance, encouragement, and hope to give us all the tools we need to have more of the good stuff and less of the bad in life. Transcendence 2 digs deeper into these stories and finds insight from God to help us in every single situation humans could possibly encounter throughout life. Continuing on from the great stories of Genesis, many years after Joseph died, Exodus introduces us to a great and much needed liberator. God's silence is over and He is ready to take his people out of Egypt and into the land He promised Abraham and Isaac. God directs the Israelites up close and personal. In Leviticus He spells out specific laws and decrees to guide them to live the life He expects. When we feel hopeless, alone, discouraged, or unheard, reading these pages will help us see how God not only hears our prayers, but He shows up, and shows off in miraculous ways. Our limited minds can't understand how God can do absolutely everything. These true stories help us lean not unto our own understanding but to lean on faith, and watch the miracles take place all around us.Complete
The Return of The King
The story I am writing begins with the return of the Lord Jesus Christ-not as the humble servant who once walked among men, but as the King of all Kings, coming to reclaim a fallen world. It is a story drawn from the light of Scripture, shaped by the living Word, and inspired by the revelations of prophecy. As I journey through the pages of the Bible, especially the Book of Revelation, the story continues to unfold-deepening with every insight, growing with every truth revealed. In the beginning, before the first sunrise touched the dust of the earth, God spoke-and creation answered. The heavens stretched into being, the waters were divided, and the earth came alive beneath His voice. From the dust, God formed Adam and breathed into him the breath of life. From Adam came Eve, and together they walked with God in perfect fellowship. But when sin entered, the bond was broken, and death cast its shadow across creation. Yet even in the fall, God's plan of redemption was already in motion. The story of humanity began to unfold according to divine order, each generation moving closer to the fulfillment of His promise. It was a promise written before time began-a story of love, sacrifice, and restoration that would one day culminate in the glorious return of Christ, the rightful King of all creation.Complete
Like The Thunder Roaring
"The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the World, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:9-14) What that first Easter might have been like. The climax of God's plan for humanity, from Palm Sunday to Peter's reinstatement. Main title and chapter titles are from songs that I used to capture the mood of the moment, as it were, and I would really encourage you to listen to them. They are: Main title: "Glory" by The City Harmonic 1. without a crown: "Baby Boy" by For King & Country 2. the taste of eternity is here on our lips: "Taste of Eternity" by Bellarive 3. let me see redemption win: "Worn" by Tenth Avenue North 4. i heard a voice from the other side singing, "hold fast, love lasts.": "Without You" by For King & Country 5. when you know it, once you know it, and you hold it--it's unforgettable: "To The Dreamers" by For King & Country 6. keep my head from going down: "Something To Believe In" by Parachute 7. i could use a fresh beginning, too: "Learning to Breathe" by Switchfoot (cover by @sugarcrystals, who is amazing and you should really check out her work. Both writing wise and cover wise. I literally gave her "thunder storm themed" and she came up with that. Because I am useless at giving hints.)Complete
