Now He was dead, or so they thoughtDear Friend, If the 2020 election dashed your hopes for America, I certainly understand. But I’d like to offer some perspective because no matter how disheartened you and I may have felt, our distress was just a pinprick compared to the utter devastation that flooded the grieving hearts of Jesus’ disciples after his crucifixion. In one turbulent week, they went from celebrating their Messiah’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem to watching Roman soldiers hammer spikes into his hands and feet, crucifying him naked, outside the city gates. Now He was dead, or so they thought—but three days later everything changed. The reality of Jesus’ resurrection transformed their lives—and the world. And the same is true for you and me. Because he conquered sin and death, you and I have a “living hope” that will never disappoint. That’s the hope D. James Kennedy Ministries offers you and others across America through television, online efforts, print, and our new sister outreach, Providence Forum. But, this Easter, do you know why Jesus had to die? Or why God the Father would not only allow it but decree it? If you don’t know, or you know but want to dig deeper into these life-transforming truths and how they apply to you, I want to send you our new ministry book, Behold the Man: The Power and the Promise of Christ’s Passion by Dr. D. James Kennedy and Dr. Jerry Newcombe. It is my gift to you for your generous donation to the ongoing work of this ministry. Filled with a lifetime of Dr. Kennedy’s study of the Scriptures, this rich book will give you an in-depth understanding of Christ’s suffering and death to help you more fully grasp the incredible price Jesus paid for your redemption. For your gift of $60 or more, we will also send you The Divine Drama, a 7-DVD set of gripping video messages by Dr. Kennedy. A master story-teller, Dr. Kennedy vividly brings to life seven eyewitnesses present during Christ’s passion.
You will find yourself in the middle of history’s greatest drama as you relive Christ’s suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection through their eyes. On this Good Friday, I hope you will take some time to ponder Christ’s sacrifice on your behalf and why it is indeed “good”! God bless you as you do. Sincerely, Frank Wright, PH.D. | ||||||
