Take a good look at this picture. WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Your eyes are not deceiving you. Over fifty churches in the United States now have readings from the Quran on Sundays. Sitting alongside The Holy Bible in every pew is a copy of the book that glorifies the Muslim prophet Mohammad.

The book that claims God had no son.

Well, God did have a son, my friends. A son whom he sent into the world as our Lord and Saviour and we can prove it.

We now have more evidence

than ever before that Jesus lived and died for our sins, that he was crucified after many long hours of suffering, crowned with thorns, the wounds from his whipping and scourging still fresh.

A man of Middle Eastern origin, who was scourged and whipped and that he was pierced in the side with a spear just as described in The Bible and unlike any other man who was crucified in Roman times.

Where is this proof?

Proof that the Bible is right. Seeing is believing, my friend



The Turin Shroud is the burial cloth of Gods son, Jesus Christ. Scientists have subjected it to over a thousand tests to try to prove that it is a fake,



but the Shroud has passed them all. It is not a fake, not a medieval painting, not a forgery, hoax, photograph, rubbing, etching, dust painting or any of the other ridiculous claims made by the Doubting Thomases. Blood tests proved that the blood on the Shroud belongs to a man who came from the same part of the world as Jesus.

The pattern of the blood stains clearly show numerous puncture wounds on the mans head, up to 120 scourge wounds all over the body (consistent with forty lashes from a three-thronged whip) and forensically accurate puncture wounds in the wrists and feet.

They also show a large, bloody mark on the man's side, consistent with a spear wound.

This is the burial cloth of a man who was tortured and then crucified in a manner unlike any description we have from Roman times.

Except for the one in The Bible. The Turin Shroud can only have belonged to one person. Gods son, Jesus Christ. Modern 3-D imaging technology has now revealed perhaps the Shrouds greatest secret- a three dimensional image of Jesus on this two -dimensional piece of cloth.



How is this possible? Scientists do not know. The only thing that they can say for sure is that no human being could have created such a thing. But then, if this is truly the burial cloth of Jesus, how did it come to be in Turin? And how did the head cloth portion of the wrappings come to a cathedral in Oviedo, Spain?

Historian Bernarn Ruffin answered these questions. According to the (now lost) Gospel according to the Hebrews, Jesus burial cloths were given to a servant of his disciple James. They were smuggled out to Edessa, now Turkey, where they fell into other hands, possibly those of the Knights Templar, and circulated, in secret, around Europe before coming to their current resting places. Every piece of the puzzle now fits. It is time to let go of skepticism and doubt.

If you are a Christian, do not condemn the shroud. Do not gnash and fret and fall so easily to disbelief.

The Holy Bible is the written proof and the TRUE book. And the four Gospels of the Bible confirms the Shroud to be genuine.

The Shroud is our physical PROOF that God DID have a son, Jesus Christ, who suffered and died for us. God has preserved it so that we may use it to prove his love to others, and prove to the Doubting Thomases the existence of Jesus because those who believe and follow him will never die.

The Shroud has been called "God's love letter in linen".

Amen.
