Increasing Knowledge of Abraham Sacrificing Isaac
Jesus is the A and Z. He who is, who was, and who is to come. He came into this world to die on the cross of Calvary to shed His blood on the Cross of Calvary for the remission of your sins. He was crucified, buried, and God raised Him up from the dead three days later. Believe in the LORD Jesus Christ and you shall be made free in eternity.

James 1:13
