Messiah Quote by Patrick Davis
““It was the advent, or more specifically, the empty tomb which is the next great event. Even though prophesied thousands of years in advance, the idea of a suffering Messiah was more than the world was ready for, and it confounded the leaders of that time, both Jewish and Roman, that the “bruising of the heel” was the death of the Messiah. A resurrected Christ, defying death, changed the world forever.””
