Zone1 Death and resurrection.

[Woodznutz]

Most Christian churches 'celebrate' the death of Christ every week, but only celebrate his resurrection once a year. Also, most representations of Christ are him hanging on the cross. Whyzat?

Because that is where the exchange took place. Our sins for His perfect record. He nailed our sins to that cross. Without it, we'd all deservedly end up in Hell.
Having said that, we all die. But one came back from death to prove He is who He said He is. He lives! We should celebrate that daily.

In the RCC it's the eucharist; in Protestant churches it's bread and wine. It's 'communing' with his suffering and death.

How is it the Eucharist?

How is it the Eucharist?

Eucharist: body and blood of Christ.

Which is living, not death. Christ is also known as the perfect sacrifice, and we present him as the perfect sacrifice...perfect obedience.

Near death experiencers are very aware that Jesus has been resurrected and now has amazing power to send them back from a brush with death with a message.

Near-death experiencers (NDEs) frequently report encountering a radiant, loving Jesus figure during their experiences, often describing profound feelings of peace, light, and unconditional love. These narratives typically involve conversations about life's purpose, a review of their life, and receiving a message to return to Earth, often to share the experience of God's love.

Key Aspects of NDE Encounters with Jesus:

• The Encounter: Experiences often involve meeting Jesus as a loving, radiant figure, frequently described as a "being of light".
• Interaction: Many report "conversations" that are not vocal but occur through telepathic, mental, or heart-centered communication.
• The Message: Common themes include the reassurance of being loved, the importance of love, and sometimes a choice to return to life or a command to go back.
• The Transformation: Experiencers often return with a changed perspective on life, including a deeper faith, less fear of death, and an increased sense of purpose.
• Specific Examples:
  • Ian McCormack: An atheist stung by jellyfish who, after seeing darkness, met a light-filled figure identified as Jesus.
  • Mary Neal: A surgeon who, while drowning, reported having a conversation with Jesus and experiencing overwhelming love.
  • Amy Willis: Experienced a meeting with Jesus after sepsis, bringing back a message that His love is a free gift.

While these stories are deeply personal, they often share common themes with other reported NDEs, such as experiencing a life review, traveling through a tunnel, and seeing a bright light
