Guest speaker Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, a renowned New Testament Scholar, empowers us today with believed historical evidence supporting our faith.

He brings our attention to the Shroud of Turin, a captivating artifact believed to have an imprint of Jesus' image. Dr. Johnston shares that it provides compelling evidence for Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. Hear his case for why Jesus is, in fact, "the man of the shroud."

Notes:

Focus verses - John 20:1–8

The Shroud of Turin is evidence for Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

The Bible is about real people, real places, and real events.

We need to know how to defend our faith. 

Christianity's closest cousin is archaeology.

The Shroud of Turin is the most studied archaeological artifact on the planet. 

We have enough evidence to believe in the resurrection.

It's believed that the light power emitted during the resurrection imprinted the image on the cloth.

All 4 gospels mention Jesus' burial cloth.

The Shroud matches the biblical description of Jesus' wounds and death.

Serious scholars and experts believe The Shroud is authentic.

The Shroud has been deeply studied. 

Max Frei-Sulzer's pollen analysis suggests the relic spent time in the Middle East.

Science today still cannot explain how the image is on the cloth.

The evidence most powerfully points to one conclusion: Jesus is "the man of the shroud."

Are you ready to see Jesus face to face?

In this message from John 2, Pastor Philip Miller shows us Jesus through the first three recorded glimpses of who He is: a crisis, a cleansing, and a confrontation. Jesus’ self-disclosure was unveiling God’s redemptive plan; some believed—will you?
