The whole town’s in a state of confusion. People aren’t sure what to believe anymore. They just hung the man they call Jesus on a cross. I saw him there, suffering. I saw him die. His body was placed in a fortified tomb. Now people say they spotted him alive. What is happening?

Any member of God’s army is never truly an “underdog”. However, the world is working overtime to convince us that we are. In truth – it’s really just a smokescreen. The devil knows better. He knows we will be victorious, but he works hard at making us feel defeated, maligned, and powerless.
Sounds ominous, doesn’t it. Fear is a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) and with it the devil is hijacking our peace and trying to control our lives. Its job is simple – to manipulate us!
