Read MoreJesus didn’t just claim to be God — He proved it by rising from the dead. He is more than a story — He is the living Saviour, and that changes everything. He is risen indeed!
Read MoreAfter the Triumphal Entry, Jesus did two surprising things: He cursed a fig tree and cleansed the Temple—actions that might seem unexpected if we think of Him as only 'meek and mild.'
