Christ is risen! Indeed He is risen.
Hallelujah!


Thy Resurrection, Oh Christ My Savior, the angels in Heaven sing!
Enable us on Earth to Glorify Thee in purity of heart!



Many are embracing Jesus Messiah in faith, recognizing Him as the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, and the fulfillment of the Edenic Promise. He is the "Seed" of Genesis 3:15 who came into the world to crush the serpent's head and to restore Paradise. He accomplished this through His Incarnation, Death, Resurrection and Ascension.

When Jesus told his Disciples that He was going to Jerusalem to die, he referred to Genesis 3:15.  He explained, "I tell you, unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, it will only be a seed. If it dies, it bears much fruit."  John 12:24


When Rabbi Kaduri died at age 108, he left a signed note indicating Messiah's identity: Yeshua - Jesus. His manuscripts, written in his own hand, have crosses painted all over the pages. Jews argue that the great Rabbi Kaduri was not a Christian. Whether he believed in the Incarnate Son of God who died and rose from the grave to save sinners, only God knows. Suffice it to say that, as one of the world's leading authorities on Jewish mysticism, Rabbi Kaduri knew the traditions of Abraham's people expressed in symbols and patterns and those pointed him to the truth about Jesus Christ.

I sincerely apologize and if I have your permission I will put your name in the caption. If not, I will remove the image.

I captured this image from a newsletter that was sent to me months ago. No credit was given to the artist. If I had known whose image it was, I would have asked for permission to use it and given the artist credit.

Ms. Alice C. Linsley,
The usual process would be to acquire a limited licensing agreement for a onetime use. After the fact this time I will permit this usage with the included byline:
