Joshua 10:28-43, John 14:15-31
Thought from Today’s Old Testament Passage:
[Joshua 11:1-9] We are here entering upon the story of another campaign that Joshua made, and it was a glorious one, no less illustrious than the former in the success of it, though in respect of miracles it was inferior to it in glory. The wonders God then wrought for them were to animate and encourage them to act vigorously themselves….In this story we have… the encouragement God gave to Joshua to give them the meeting, even upon the ground of their own choosing (v. 6): Be not afraid because of them. Joshua was remarkable for his courage—it was his master grace, and yet it seems he had need to be again and again cautioned not to be afraid. Fresh dangers and difficulties make it necessary to fetch in fresh supports and comforts from the word of God, which we have always nigh unto us, to be made use of in every time of need. Those that have God on their side need not be disturbed at the number and power of their enemies; more are those that are with us than those that are against us; those have the hosts of the Lord that have the Lord of hosts engaged for them. (Matthew Henry, Matthew Henry’s Commentary, Vol. 2 (McLean VA: MacDonald Publishing Company, nd) pp. 65-66)

These programs examine and respond to the conclusions reached in the Discovery Channel's special The Lost Tomb of Jesus. In this series we also examine the new fictional novel -- The Gospel According to Judas, written by Jeffrey Archer, along with the assistance of Catholic theologian Francis J. Moloney. In this fictional story, they claim Judas did not betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, and never committed suicide. Further they claim Jesus never walked on water, turned water into wine. Judas also believes Jesus wasn't God's Messiah and never rose from the dead. What historical evidence shows most of the claims about Judas and Jesus are wrong? We also examine Elaine Pagels and Karen King's new book entitled Reading Judas. Why is this popular alternative view of Jesus historically wrong?
