Baptism to Bethany

The inevitability of death often occupies one's thoughts. This book is a study of the teaching of Jesus on redemption, how to live an abundant life, and deliverance from the fear of death and judgment. Jesus said everyone will be judged by His words; it behooves each person to examine them. Those who are skeptical of the veracity of the Gospels should consider that there are over 5,000 Greek New Testament manuscripts with greater than ninety-nine percent agreement. Non-Biblical history is often authenticated by fewer than a dozen manuscripts with variable agreement. The text evaluates Jesus' ministry from His baptism until His visit to Martha's home in Bethany on the Sabbath that initiated Passion Week. This book complements The Christian Holy Days, which is an analysis of Jesus' birth, each day of Passion Week, and the Resurrection. Baptism to Bethany completes an exegetical study of the words of Jesus Christ.
