The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

At last the race to the stores is over. Today the kids attack their presents with that annual gleam in their eyes. For most of us, Christmas morning is a happy time as our families gather in the safety of our homes. But as you enjoy this day, take a few minutes with Erwin Lutzer, and consider Christmas from a different viewpoint, from a place far away and a time long, long ago.

The day before Christmas and that last dash to the mall: for merchants, another frenzy of selling. But there were no malls in Bethlehem long ago; no lights, no friends. Indeed, Christmas had a humble beginning.

December 25 was not Jesus' actual birthday, but it's the date set aside long ago for us to honor that birth. For Mary His mother, that birth began a long period of pain and sorrow, a personal toll we seldom consider during this time of year.

In three days we'll celebrate the central event in human history...the coming of Jesus Christ to live among us. But while Christians now enjoy the benefits of Jesus' birth, life, death and resurrection, there was one person who felt great pain when He came.

One thing about the Bible: it does not mince words. Its authors do not sugar-coat the truth, even when that truth is unpleasant. When John wrote Revelation under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he described the end times in vivid, and even gory detail. Today, we'll learn about the fate of those who defy the Lord Jesus Christ at the great battle that wraps up history as we know it. Stay with us.

Like brilliant facets of a diamond, there are many sides to Jesus Christ. He's both a loving teacher and a stern judge. His authority over every one who has ever lived is absolute, for He holds the keys of death itself. Only through Him can anyone enter into eternal life. The picture the Bible paints in its last book is one of a Jesus wielding the sword of God.

There's a stark contrast between the Jesus of the manger and the Jesus who will one day return in great power and glory. The eyes of the baby Jesus twinkled in the pale moonlight. The eyes of the coming Jesus are like flaming fire. Today, we turn our gaze into the future for a look at the Christ of supreme authority, the Christ who comes to judge the earth.

The real Jesus: He's much more than a good excuse to sell Christmas presents. He is the Lord of glory and the Lamb of God. And as that Lamb, He came to offer Himself as an atonement for the sins of all mankind. The real Jesus had a mission far beyond setting a good example. He came to transform people, not merely inspire them. And that took a supreme sacrifice.

It's true: nothing has changed history on this planet more than the appearance of one solitary life: that of Jesus. With no media, no mass transit, no money, and few followers, how could one man have altered history so irrevocably? The simple fact is, he couldn't, if he was only a man. Today: more details on the real Jesus...the King of Kings.

Those who worry that Christmas loses its meaning in the annual mad dash to the department store have something worse to fear. That the real Christ of Christmas has been supplanted by false christs who are similar in name only. Today: you'll meet the real Jesus, and never again need to indulge in the menu of contemporary christs available these days.
