THE MIGHTIEST MIRACLE OF CALVARY
by John Barnett
The Mightiest Miracle Of Calvary
John Barnett
Matthew 27
Jesus rose triumphant over sin, death, and Hell after being captured and killed during the greatest crime the world has ever witnessed.
On a cross of wood, with carpenter's tools, and "on a skull shaped hill, on a sunny day outside of Jerusalem nearly 2,000 years ago when MANKIND MURDERED THEIR MAKER ". There on a hill called Calvary in full view of thousands of witnesses, was the day the Creator was crucified.
His name was Jesus, a peasant carpenter, who had carried on an itinerant relief work across all of Israel. Thousands, tens of thousands followed, heard and witnessed some of the mightiest acts ever seen on the planet in history. But now He hangs there:
