Why Did Jesus Have to Die? In this conversation, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford discuss the complexities of Easter, the significance of Jesus' death, and the implications of sin and sacrifice within the Christian faith. They reflect on the pressures of Easter services, the meaning behind Jesus' crucifixion, and the role of the tabernacle and temple in understanding the relationship between humanity and God. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing the deeper meanings behind traditional beliefs and practices. Further, Mike and Tim explore the profound theological implications of Jesus' incarnation, death, and the significance of the tabernacle in relation to eternal life. They discuss how Jesus' death was not just a human experience but a necessary act to bridge the gap between humanity and God, emphasizing the importance of understanding the humanity of Jesus, especially in the context of the Garden of Gethsemane. The conversation also delves into the mystery of scripture and the human experience, highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of biblical texts.

Read OnlineAfter the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow. The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men. Matthew 28:1–4The angels of God have been present at the most significant moments of human history. There are numerous mentions of angels in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, the Incarnation of the Savior of the World was announced by an archangel. Myriads of angels were present at His birth. An angel spoke to Saint Joseph on four different occasions. As Jesus began His public ministry and overcame the temptations of the devil in the desert, angels from Heaven came to minister to Him. When Jesus prayed in solitude, especially during His agony in the garden, He was comforted by angels. At the empty tomb, it was an angel who first announced the good news that our Lord had risen. And at the end of time, it will be the angels of God who bring forth God's justice.Today's angelic salutation to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary at the empty tomb should teach us that the message of the Resurrection is among the most important lessons we can ever learn. Furthermore, the message of this angel, given to these holy women, was intended not only for them, it is also spoken to us today.The angel made an appearance that depicts absolute power and sanctity. He arrived with the speed of lightning. His countenance was radiant with Heavenly light. He instantly moved the large stone and sat upon it, pointing these holy women to the empty tomb. Today, if we have the eyes of faith, we will also receive an interior revelation from Heaven, just as these women did. Though we will not see with our eyes what they saw, we will see and hear through faith all that was spoken to them.  The message of the Resurrection of Christ is being spoken to you today. Do you hear it? Do you comprehend the voice of this angel from Heaven? If you do, the first thing you will hear are the words, “Do not be afraid!” Fear is one of the greatest obstacles to the reception of the Word of God in our lives. The evil one sows fear; the angels of God dispel it. So begin by considering whether fear clouds your ability to receive the Word of God. The angel then said, “I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.” In other words, these women had not yet understood the Resurrection. They were still seeking the dead body of our Lord. Similarly, we often find ourselves focusing upon our losses, sufferings and trials. As a result, it can be difficult for us to see the ways that our Lord desires to transform the crosses in our lives and bring from them the glory of the Resurrection. The angel then said, “He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said.” When we allow God to transform every cross in our lives, those crosses and sufferings disappear as they give way to the new life God brings forth from them.Finally, the angel tells the women, “Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead…'” When we come to faith in the death and Resurrection of Christ, we cannot keep it to ourselves. We must go forth and proclaim the Resurrection of Christ to others. It cannot be contained. Reflect, today, upon the most glorious, awe-inspiring, life-changing message of Christ's Resurrection. If you find that you do not understand this message, then this Easter Season is an important time for you. It must be a time in which you dispel any fear that clouds your thinking. It must be a time when you listen most attentively in faith. It must be a time when you hear God speak to you about His glorious triumph over sin and death. It must be a time when you more fully penetrate the mystery of the Resurrection. And it must be a time when you recommit yourself to go forth and share that message with others. Listen to the angels of God. Receive their message and allow Christ's Resurrection to change your life forever.Most holy angels of God, please come to me, speak to me and reveal to me the most glorious message of the Resurrection of Christ. Lord, I pray that my heart be freed of all fear and that my mind be opened to all that You wish to reveal to me. I do believe in the glory of Your Resurrection; help me to believe with all my heart and to proclaim that truth to others. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Part 1 – The Journey of Incarnation: Choices and Spirit Welcome to the first episode in our three-part series on the soul's journey of incarnation. In this gentle and thought-provoking conversation, we'll explore what it really means to become human—and the choices your spirit makes before stepping into this life. We'll talk about why we choose to come to Earth, how the number of incarnations shapes our growth, and the soulful blueprint we carry with us. We'll also touch on the nature of time in the spirit realm, the presence of energy bodies, and the beautiful, ongoing connection we share with loved ones who have crossed over. And as we explore the purpose of the soul's path, we'll look at the difference between novice and more experienced incarnators—and the unique light each brings to the world. Join me for a heart-centered journey into the essence of who we are, where we come from, and why we're here—and be sure to come back next week as we continue our Incarnation Series. If it's Light, it's Right™! Find Cheryl here https://cherylbradley.com/contact/

Good Friday with special guest Steve Kennedy.

Send us a textW3: James and Drey discuss a book that James has been reading on the relationship between the church and Israel.Main Topic: Why is it important that Jesus rose bodily and that he retains his physical body? How does Jesus' resurrection speak to our resurrection? What does it say about his present ministry? We discuss these questions and more!

The Orthodox Faith has a word describing the Incarnation that saves us all. That word is kenosis which is the self-lowering of the Word of God, by His own will entirely, that we may be raised up again. As we once again set the eyes of our soul to see Him in His Passion tonight, we consider many of the wondrous revelations from the prayer service of the Stations of the Cross showing forth just how far Christ our God lowered himself so that we might Ascend.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast (S5/EP9)Long before the Incarnation, a prophet walked with God and was taken up—his name was Enoch. Though not included in the traditional canon, the Book of Enoch is an ancient apocalyptic text quoted by Jude and preserved among Ethiopian Christians. Enoch's writings unveil the cosmic war against the fallen angels and their dark arts: sorcery, enchantments, genetic tampering, and destruction of mankind. Yet hidden in its visions are 21 keys—prophetic declarations of the One who would come to destroy their kingdom and redeem humanity: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, the Elect One, the Son of Man, the Anointed One…the Ancient of Days?——“Expanding the Influence of God's Supernatural Kingdom thru Media and Mentorship!” ⁠☞ Official Website: https://www.CubKuker.com✞ Hi, I'm Cub—a Christian, Supernatural Mentor, and Media Creator sharing my faith.

Pays démocratique et républicain, la France nourrit un paradoxe : dans la mémoire collective des Français, la figure de l'homme providentiel a une place de choix. Parmi ces hommes et femmes surgissant dans des circonstances souvent exceptionnelles, se trouve Charles De Gaulle. Incarnation de la France libre pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, instigateur de la Ve République en 1958, le Général de Gaulle a, par deux fois, fait figure de sauveur dans notre pays. Comment s'est construit le mythe gaullien de l'homme providentiel ? Pour répondre à cette question, Virginie Girod reçoit l'historien Jean Garrigues. Fin connaisseur de l'histoire de nos institutions, il est président de la commission internationale d'histoire des assemblées, et auteur, notamment, des livres "A la plage avec Charles de Gaulle, l'homme providentiel dans un transat" (Dunod) et "Les Hommes providentiels: Histoire d'une fascination française" (Payot).Distribué par Audiomeans.

In this episode, host Nate Claiborne and theologian-in-residence Dr. Michael Allen dive into the heart of the Nicene Creed—its second article, which focuses on Jesus Christ. Building on their previous conversation about the importance of creeds as both summaries and guardrails for Christian belief, they explore what the Creed affirms about Christ's identity, nature, and redemptive work. From the theological poetry of “God from God, Light from Light” to the historical grounding in figures like Pontius Pilate and Mary, this central paragraph of the Creed brings into focus both the mystery and majesty of the eternal Son who took on flesh for our salvation.Dr. Allen explains how the Creed combats ancient heresies like Arianism by affirming Jesus' full divinity and eternal existence while also narrating his true humanity through the incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. The conversation emphasizes how these statements are not merely doctrinal assertions but pastoral and devotional aids for worship, especially relevant during Holy Week. As NewCity continues to recite the Creed weekly, this episode helps listeners reflect more deeply on what each phrase means, why it matters, and how it connects us to the global and historic church.

Jesus asked His disciples an important question in Matthew 16:15: “Who do you say I am?” Ligonier Ministries surveyed Americans in 2022 about how they perceived Jesus. Responses to three statements in particular are worth highlighting. First, 54% of Americans and 80% of American evangelicals strongly agreed with the statement, “There is one true God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.” This statement summarizes the doctrine of the Trinity. But 40% of all Americans and 48% of evangelicals strongly agreed with the statement, “Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God.” This statement is a Christological heresy known as Arianism, not to mention an implicit rejection of the Trinity. Finally, 31% of all Americans and 29% of evangelicals strongly agreed with the statement, “Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God.” How 80% of evangelicals can affirm the Trinity but 29% deny Jesus' deity is an unsolvable math problem. But it's a solvable problem for Christian discipleship. Churches need to do a better job of inculcating what the Bible teaches about who Jesus Christ is. Toward that end, I talk with Robert M. Bowman Jr. about a biblical case for Jesus' deity in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Robert M. Bowman Jr. is president of the Institute for Religious Research, which provides “evidence-oriented answers to criticisms of the Bible and alternative views of Jesus Christ advocated by skeptics and members of other religions.” He is author, with J. Ed Komoszewski, of The Incarnate Christ and His Critics, published by Kregel Academic.

In this opening sermon of our new series in the Gospel of John, Pastor Thomas guides us from the very first words of Genesis to the poetic prologue of John's Gospel, showing us how the story of creation finds its fulfillment in Christ.Fresh off our time in Genesis 1–11, we now turn to John 1:1–18—not as a new story, but as the next chapter in the same divine drama. The themes of Word, Light, Incarnation, Adoption, and Glory take center stage as we meet Jesus, the eternal Son of God, the promised Head-Crusher, and the Light that darkness cannot overcome.This isn't just a theological introduction—it's a poetic unveiling of who Jesus is:• The Word who was with God and was God, through whom all things were made.• The Light who shines into the darkness, echoing God's first words of creation and breaking the curse of sin.• The Incarnate God, who took on flesh to dwell among us—God made visible and approachable.• The Giver of the Right, who makes rebels into children of God.• The Glory we were made to reflect, now revealed in the face of Christ, full of grace upon grace.From Eden to exile, from Babel to Bethlehem, God has come near.This sermon traces the poetic brilliance of John's prologue and its deep ties to Genesis, reminding us that the Bible tells one unified story—one that finds its crescendo in Jesus.

Send us a textWhat does it mean that Jesus is God with skin on?In this powerful message from Week 2 of our “Jesus Is ___” series, we explore how the eternal Son of God stepped into time and became fully human so that we, as sons and daughters of man, could become children of God.

Typically, when we talk about the birth of Christ, it’s during Christmas. But the coming of Christ is far too important to mention only once a year. The hypostatic union—Jesus being fully God and fully man—is one of the most remarkable and profound events in history. He walked among us and shared in our human experience, yet, He was completely divine. In this sermon, we will explore the significance of Jesus being both God and man. What does it mean? How was it possible? And why does it matter for us today? Visit us online at: RenewalChurch.net

With evidence of burial rituals and culture, were Neanderthals spiritual beings like us? We explore their place in theology, along with topics like praying in dreams, moral behavior in animals, the nature of heaven, and whether we could ever learn like computers. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Questions Covered: 01:13 – What physical explanation can parapsychology offer? Because one thing is describing phenomena, another one is explaining it in a physical framework.  11:15 – How are we to consider our Neanderthal cousins? They were hominids, close enough to us that we interbred (I have more than the average Neanderthal DNA), they had a culture, and there is evidence that they not only buried their dead, but buried flowers and grave goods with them, hinting at a belief in the afterlife. Yet, they were different from us, and they went extinct millennia before the Incarnation. Theologically, how are they considered? semi-Neanderthal minds want to know!  16:31 – Can animals act in ways that are morally good or evil? i.e. the dog that saves the child vs the dog that bites the child. What implications, if any, would that have on the prospect of an animal afterlife?  22:44 – If I am asleep and I dream that I am praying, is it possible that God and the saints I ask for intercession hear those prayers? And if I receive a blessing in the context of my dream, is it possible that some minor intercession has occurred?  29:15 – If a sincere penitent in the confessional confesses that he has set a bear trap outside the priest's confessional, set to go off the moment the priest exits the confessional, could the priest require the penitent to remove the bear trap as a part of his penance? Or can the priest not make requirements like that in order to give absolution? (One that I've actually gotten from my students!)  34:34 – Tell us about your Arkansas accent. It's coming on pretty thick these days. I assume you lost it when you moved to CA and now that your back you just naturally fell back into it?  41:30 – I've never heard anyone address this: after the resurrection, we will be reunited with our physical bodies. So is heaven a physical place?  44:15 – Growing up I was told that our souls wander about while we sleep as an explanation for Deja vu. I know in the past you've attributed Deja vu to remote viewing, how similar are these 2 ideas?  52:45 – The mystery of learning and memory. Why can’t humans learn, store, and recall information in the same way a computer does (i.e. massive storage, data compressibility/extractability, can download and upload information, etc.)? It would seem extremely beneficial if humans could learn via download and share via upload like computers. Just to qualify I mean the speed of data transfer as well. For example, instead of spending years learning a new language, just download it and have perfect fluency (similar to the Matrix and how Neo could learn things). 

Send us a textW3: James and Drey discuss unresolved issues they have regarding scripture.Main Topic: In this episode, we explore the profound depths of Kenotic Theology, a Christian perspective on divine self-emptying. Discover how the concept of Jesus 'emptying himself' in the Incarnation reveals a God who embraces human limitation and suffering out of love. We'll unpack its biblical roots, theological debates, and what it means for understanding divine humility in a modern world.

Send us a textCan Christians read and appreciate pagan literature? The vexed relationship between the Church and a world that hates it has generated many different responses. The most popular recent proposal is Rod Dreher's "Benedict option" - Dreher counsels Christian retrenchment and quasi-monastic self-sufficiency. But the great saint of late antiquity and compiler of the Vulgate, Jerome (aka Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus), proposes a different option, drawn from the Mosaic Law. Jonathan and Ryan look at three different letters from Jerome's voluminous correspondence, each taking a different angle on literature and learning.Richard M.

Welcome to week 1 of our sermon series on 1st John. This week, we dive deep into the powerful opening of 1 John 1:1-4, where the Apostle John introduces the core of our Christian faith—the Incarnation: God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. In a world full of differing opinions, religious divides, and cultural confusion, John's letter calls us to return to the essential truth that defines Christianity: Jesus is God, in the flesh. We explore the significance of Jesus' divinity, His role in creation, and how His life, death, and resurrection offer us the gift of eternal life. As we navigate the divisions within the church and the world, we answer three vital questions: What is doctrinally essential for Christian faith and identity? Does Christian faith require Christian conduct to be valid? Is love the most important value? Join us as we unpack the Incarnation and its implications for how we live out our faith. Whether you're exploring Christianity or seeking to deepen your understanding, this series will guide you in strengthening your relationship with Jesus and navigating the complexities of the modern world with His truth.

Full Text of ReadingsSolemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord Lectionary: 545The Saint of the day is Annunciation of the LordThe Story of the Annunciation of the Lord The feast of the Annunciation, now recognized as a solemnity, was first celebrated in the fourth or fifth century. Its central focus is the Incarnation: God has become one of us. From all eternity God had decided that the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity should become human. Now, as Luke 1:26-38 tells us, the decision is being realized. The God-Man embraces all humanity, indeed all creation, to bring it to God in one great act of love. Because human beings have rejected God, Jesus will accept a life of suffering and an agonizing death: “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends” (John 15:13). Mary has an important role to play in God's plan. From all eternity, God destined her to be the mother of Jesus and closely related to him in the creation and redemption of the world. We could say that God's decrees of creation and redemption are joined in the decree of Incarnation. Because Mary is God's instrument in the Incarnation, she has a role to play with Jesus in creation and redemption. It is a God-given role. It is God's grace from beginning to end. Mary becomes the eminent figure she is only by God's grace. She is the empty space where God could act. Everything she is she owes to the Trinity. Mary is the virgin-mother who fulfills Isaiah 7:14 in a way that Isaiah could not have imagined. She is united with her son in carrying out the will of God (Psalm 40:8-9; Hebrews 10:7-9; Luke 1:38). Together with Jesus, the privileged and graced Mary is the link between heaven and earth. She is the human being who best, after Jesus, exemplifies the possibilities of human existence. She received into her lowliness the infinite love of God. She shows how an ordinary human being can reflect God in the ordinary circumstances of life. She exemplifies what the Church and every member of the Church is meant to become. She is the ultimate product of the creative and redemptive power of God. She manifests what the Incarnation is meant to accomplish for all of us. Reflection Sometimes spiritual writers are accused of putting Mary on a pedestal and thereby, discouraging ordinary humans from imitating her. Perhaps such an observation is misguided. God did put Mary on a pedestal and has put all human beings on a pedestal. We have scarcely begun to realize the magnificence of divine grace, the wonder of God's freely given love. The marvel of Mary—even in the midst of her very ordinary life—is God's shout to us to wake up to the marvelous creatures that we all are by divine design.

Most heresy comes from getting Christ's incarnation WRONG! So, let's look to Scripture so we get this RIGHT. In this episode, Bev and Delaney unpack what Scripture says about Christ's incarnation. The incarnation describes Christ taking on human flesh by adding a human nature to his already divine nature. Scripture is clear that Jesus is fully God and fully man, he lacks nothing is his humanity and nothing in his divinity. The incarnation is incredibly important for Christians to understand because Christ's incarnation is the essence of the gospel. 

How can we find wisdom amidst outrage and connect with the divine in the face of suffering? In this episode, we're exploring the self-titled first chapter of Richard's latest book, "The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage," entitled "The Tears of Things." After our conversation with Richard, we're joined by Pete Enns, author, Old Testament scholar, and host of "The Bible for Normal People," who helps us explore the importance of uncertainty, the evolution of faith, and reading scripture as a journey. Pete, along with hosts and CAC Staff Mike Petrow, Paul Swanson, and Drew Jackson, discuss navigating the rhythm of order, disorder, and reorder in both life and scripture, the value of tears in the prophetic journey, and how the wisdom of the prophets can be applied to contemporary issues of injustice and outrage. Peter Enns (PhD, Harvard University) is the Abram S. Clemens Professor of Biblical Studies at Eastern University, St. David's, Pennsylvania. He has also taught courses at Harvard University, Fuller Theological Seminary, and Princeton Theological Seminary. He is the host of The Bible for Normal People podcast, a frequent contributor to journals and encyclopedias, and the author of several books, including The Sin of Certainty, The Bible Tells Me So, and Inspiration and Incarnation. He lives in northern New Jersey.

Many of the things we'd like to know about Jesus' life we don't know, but remember, as Fr. Mike has told us, a Christian mystery is not “a case to be solved.” It's a beauty to bathe in. The Catechism explains the three characteristics common to each of Christ's mysteries: revelation, redemption, and recapitulation. Fr. Mike shows how we are to participate in the mysteries of Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 512-521. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

We learn more about Jesus Christ's nature as fully God and fully human. Because he was fully human, “like us in all things but sin,” Jesus had a human will that was perfectly aligned with the will of God the Father, a human body that can be seen and venerated, and a human heart with which he loves us. Fr. Mike sums up the teachings in recent readings by reviewing that the Incarnation is the mystery of the union of the divine and human natures in the one person of the Word. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 475-483.

Fr. Mike teaches us more about the divine and human natures of the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Word that became flesh, Jesus Christ. Jesus became like us in all things but sin; as such, he has a human soul, intellect, will, and body without losing any of his divinity. Father Mike tells us that in his human nature, Jesus thought with a human mind, worked with human hands, and loved with a human heart. Christ needed to learn things, and he increased in wisdom and understanding. The full humanity and true divinity of Jesus is a great mystery of our faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 470-474.

We explore the truth that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man; he is one person with two natures, both Divine and human. Fr. Mike explains that we call Mary the Mother of God because, from the very moment of his conception, Jesus was fully God and fully human. Fr. Mike also goes over heresies in the history of the Church that have denied the humanity of Christ, rejected the divinity of Christ, or confused the fact that Jesus is the Son of God by nature. The Church has always responded by affirming that Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God who became a man and our brother without ceasing to be God and Lord. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 464-469.

The Word became flesh to reconcile us with God, to manifest God's love for us, to model holiness, and to make us partakers of the divine nature. We learn that the “Incarnation” refers to the fact that the Son of God assumed human nature in order to accomplish our salvation. Fr. Mike explains that belief in the Incarnation of God is the distinctive sign of Christian faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 456-463.
