There are many versions of the Bible and much dissention in which is more right than another.The standard accepted one is the King James Version for many reasons, and today, as it is Easter Sunday, I would like to give another versions story of the death and Resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus the Christ.To keep this short, I would like to quote from the Twentieth chapter of what is called the very first Bible, the original scriptures transcribed by Marcion of Sinope in 144 AD.This book is called the Evangelicon or the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and as is said in the book as published by the Marcionite Christioan Church;
“In the beginning of Christianity, knowledge of the teachings and life of Jesus Christ were passed along orally and the written scriptures were not easily accessible. That changed in 144 A.D. when all of the authentic scriptures were gathered together by Marcion of Sinope (85 AD - 160 AD), a shipbuilder and son of the Bishop of Pontus - it was then that the very first Christian bible was created and presented to the Apostle John.”
They do say much more, and I do have very severe disagreements with most of their assessment of our current Bible; nevertheless, this portion that I will quote is very much worth the time and effort to read and compare to what you may already know from your study of your favorite version or translation.
“CHAPTER TWENTY
1 But upon the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and some others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, while they were perplexed about it, behold two men stood by them in garments that flashed forth. And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek him that lives among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words, and returned from the tomb, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. Now they Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their statements seemed in their sight as nonsense, and they disbelieved them. But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping down, he sees the linen bandages laid by themselves, and departed, wondering to himself at that which was come to pass.
2 And, behold, two of them went that very day to a village called Emmaus, sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed and questioned together, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were struck that they should not know him. And he said unto them,What words are these that you exchange with each other, as you walk, and are sad of countenance? And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Do you alone sojourn in Jerusalem, and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days? And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to a sentence of death, and crucified him. But we hoped that it had been he, who is going to redeem Israel: yes, and beside all this, today is the third day since these things occurred. Yea, and certain women also of our company astonished us, who had been early at the tomb; and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And some of them which were with us went to the tomb, and found it so, even as the women had said: but him they saw not. Then he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that he spoke to you. Was it not necessary for the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And they drew near unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day has declined. And he went in to abide with them. And it came to pass, as he reclined with them, he took the bread and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he became invisible to them. And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he talked with us in the way? And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon. And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he became known to them in the breaking of the bread.
3 And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had beheld a phantom. And he said unto them, Why are you troubled? And wherefore do reasonings arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that I am myself: for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have. And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have you here anything eatable? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb. And he took it, and ate before them. And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations.
Here endeth the Evangelicon”
Jesus of Nazareth IS the Christ, the Messiah, the living Son of the living God.He is Risen, He is our God, our King, our advocate with the Father.It is by Him, through Him and because of Him that we also will be resurrected and stand before the Father to be judged on our lives and our obedience and commitment to His ways.It is my opinion that this day, Easter Sunday Morning, in its original happening, is the most sacred and spectacular day that this Creation will ever witness.The Christ of our God arising from the dead in His perfected state, and as He stated that we will also do so when it is our turn.NOTHING can compare to that.No, not even some furry bunny dropping off some colored eggs and tooth rotting candy.
Happy Easter one and all.And as a bonus, I include a selection of Easter clips, short ones and long.
