"Jesus & Women"


"In first-century Palestine, the way Jesus treated women was considered revolutionary."

The Messiah fully loved and respected E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E, regardless of social norms ... All are His children!

"Travels and Acts of Jesus"


"The travels and acts of Jesus have been compiled from 'Gospel Harmonies.' Although there are discrepancies, the following itineraries and maps give an indication of Jesus' movements over these three years."

(Just follow the numbers on the maps -- VERY educational.)

"What Jesus Said on the Cross"


This is a very insightful, well-written treatise that examines the sayings of Our Lord during His crucifixtion.

The last paragraph gave me goosebumps (literally):

"Jesus always had a soft spot in his heart for people who wanted to improve their lives. One of the most considerate statements he made while on the cross served to show that second chances are always possible. While speaking with a thief who had been condemned to die beside him, Jesus admires the man's faith in his ministry, despite the fact that he was a criminal responsible for living a sinful life. He encourages the man, as they are both near death, by saying, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43)."

"Famous Feasts in History: The Last Supper of Jesus"


What was on the simple menu at the Last Supper? (Besides the Bread and Wine, of course!) This fellow seems like he might have a pretty good idea.

"The Life of Jesus"


Here's one of the best concise info pages about the Lord that I've seen yet. Scholarly, yet very readable. I found it most enlightening -- for example, I guess I didn't know that followers of John the Baptist left him (with his hearty blessing, no doubt) to become some of Jesus' 12 disciples. I really need to re-read the New Testament, and I am going to start today!

Was This the Site of One of Jesus' Most Famous Sermons?


Many believe this cove is where Jesus preached His "Sower" message (John 4: 1-41), which included the lamp-under-a-bushel parable and the mustard-seed parable -- and where He later in the day, while crossing the water with his Disciples, miraculously stilled the storm.

The Disciples


Here's a neat site with lots of FAQs about the Twelve who left it all behind to follow Jesus. (Lucky them!)
