Ponder the Prophecies of Jesus’ Mission

Please help us share God's truths and hope in Christ.

Just as there are numerous prophecies of the beginning of Jesus’ life on earth, there are also many that foretold of the Lord’s last week on earth.

The 40-Days of Lent Began on Wednesday, March 1

Let the 40 days be a time of preparation and remembering Jesus’ victory over sin and death. Pause to ponder what the people of His day knew.
