I remember the time my wife and I went on a trip to Israel, and we saw many wonderful things like the Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee and City of Jericho. We spent a good deal of time in Jerusalem, and I was impressed with the city. We visited the Wailing Wall, the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives. But two things that really caught my attention were a nearby hill that looked like a giant skull and a nearby empty tomb, (Matthew 27:3337). It may or may not be the tomb where they laid Jesus Christ after His crucifixion on the cross. The Bible and Jesus Himself foretold His death and His resurrection from the grave, (Matthew 28:6&7, Mark 8:31, 16:1-16). His close friends went to the tomb where they had laid Him and He was not there. Shortly He appeared too many and at one time to over 500, (1Corinthians 15:6). He was not a ghost or a departed spirit as He ate fish with the disciples, (Luke 24:36-49). His death or shed blood made the only way our sins could be forgiven and His bodily resurrection from the grave was evidence that His offering for us was acceptable to God, (Romans 4:24&25, 5:6-11). Just as He had victory over death, all of us that have accepted or believe in Him will live in Glory forever with Him, (John 3:16-18, Romans 10:913, 1Peter 1:3-9).
