21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.
Matthew 16:21
He did come to earth a baby, shepherds were witnesses.
He was God’s Son. He lived with Mary & Joseph.
Using the wood He created, He learned a carpenter’s skills.
At thirty His miraculous ministry as Son of God began.
Three years He healed sick, cast out demons, raised dead.
Even the wind and waves obeyed Him, stunning His disciples.
He came to earth to die. Young. He was 33.
His disciples couldn’t understand. He had unlimited power. They’d watched.
He was God’s only Son! How could he be killed?
Died for world sin. Grave couldn’t hold Him. He’s alive!
