This holiday and who it’s all about is what I talk about in my book–Jesus, the Christ. He was pretty extraordinary to be the only human whoever resurrected from the dead! He had extraordinary power. His name alone denotes power.
He deserves to be up front, promulgated.
Read about Him in my new book. Learn what He was all about, things He did. Hear stories how He guided me, carried me in my journey with Him. Find out how you too can get to know Him and secure a relationship with Him.

A song that rang in my ear during my childhood; I loved hearing the pastor and congregation singing it. Pastor wasn’t a singer but you knew how much he loved this song by the way he bobbed his head and moved his legs while singing it. 🙂 It still reverberates in my spirit today at 62—At Calvary.
“Calvary,” or Golgotha was a site immediately outside Jerusalem’s walls where, according to Christianity’s four gospels, Jesus was crucified. Interestingly to me, there is a similarly spelled word “cavalry.” It denotes a unit of troops on horseback summoned for war. This group of soldiers is trained to fight and can be quickly deployed in a war. It was God, the Father, who summoned and deployed Jesus for calvary in this war for human souls. Jesus was the troop, the only war hero who fought to the death and won the battle to bring us to God.
At Calvary
Years I spent in vanity and pride Caring not my Lord was crucified Knowing not it was for me He died On Calvary
[Refrain] Mercy there was great, and grace was free Pardon, there, was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary
By God’s word at last my sin I learned Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned Till my guilty soul imploring turned To Calvary
[Refrain] Mercy there was great, and grace was free Pardon, there, was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary
Now I’ve given Jesus everything Now I gladly know him as my King Now my raptured soul can only sing Of Calvary!
[Refrain] Mercy there was great, and grace was free Pardon, there, was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary
O, the love that drew salvation’s plan O, the grace that brought it down to man O, the mighty gulf that God did span At Calvary
[Refrain] Mercy there was great, and grace was free Pardon, there, was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary
By William R. Newell
As this song tells us, Jesus’ death grants us unlimited mercy, grace, pardon, and freedom. Oh, and three days later, after this war at Calvary, Jesus got up from His grave; He’s the only war hero who ever did. Death couldn’t hold Him down. Wow! Jesus Christ is alive! Receive Him into your life now.
