This is the Gospel Message
according to Apostle Paul:
1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-8.
In short “It is Christ
crucified and resurrected
of which we are the living
witnesses”.
Jesus as infant does not
reign as a regent.

JOHN 3:14 “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so
the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who trusts in
Him may have eternal life” - This is the Crucified Christ.23 April 2014

2 Corinthians 5:16 says, “So
from now on we regard no
one from a worldly point of
view. Though we once
regarded Christ in this way,
we do so no longer”
If the Word of God says this
way, how can we consider
Jesus Christ as an Infant
now?

These are the deceptions of the Father of lies, to keep us
coming to the Saviour Jesus Christ, Crucified & Resurrected
for us.
