This is one remarkable and amazing story. I was just on a zoom call with a group of pastors and leaders who are concerned about the disengaged and disenfranchised men in their community - men who perhaps confess Christ but never come around - whose families call the church when they have a need, but it seems most of today's men can't be bothered. The pastors and men's leaders were deeply. moved by a story I told them of the pizza man, so I'll tell you as well. It was one simple act by a friend. A man invited a...

Jesus came back to life. He defeated death and evil as a warrior for righteousness. Isaiah calls him the Prince of Peace (Is 9:6).
