In this worship service, Rev. Mary Ann Macklin leads the service celebrating Easter, sharing insights into the historical and theological significance of one, Jesus of Nazareth.
Rev. Mary Ann describes it: “Historically, Houston Smith, renowned world religion scholar and author of The World’s Religions says this about the actual biographical details we have about Jesus. They are meager: He was born in Palestine, probably around 4 BC, and grew up in Nazareth. He was baptized [an ancient Jewish rite] by a prophet, John, who was electrifying the region with his proclamation of God’s coming [kingdom]. In this early 30s he had a teaching and healing career that lasted between one and three years. In time, he incurred…the suspicion of Rome, which led to his crucifixion.”
