Episode Synopsis

Send us a textFrom London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper delivers a powerful and unshakable word answering one of the greatest questions of all time: What sets Christianity apart from every other belief system on earth?This message takes us into 2 Chronicles 15, showing how Israel’s spiritual decline mirrors our modern world—nations adrift, abandoning God’s truth, and embracing confusion. Yet the sermon goes further, taking us to the cross of Christ where Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea physically carried the body of Jesus and were covered in His blood. This vivid picture reveals the very essence of salvation: when we embrace the Word of God, we too are covered by the redeeming blood of Christ.Unlike every other religion, Christianity alone proclaims an empty tomb. While the world can point to the graves of founders long dead, Christians serve the living God who defeated death and reigns forever. The resurrection is not a side note—it is the cornerstone that changes everything.Biblical Foundation:“For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law.” – 2 Chronicles 15:3“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” – 2 Chronicles 15:7“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!” – Luke 24:5–6“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.” – John 11:25Episode Highlights:Why Christianity stands alone among world religions.The prophetic parallel between 2 Chronicles 15 and our present age.The symbolism of Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea covered in Christ’s blood.The archaeological and historical witness of the empty tomb.How the resurrection secures our eternal hope.Life Application: In a world filled with spiritual counterfeits and moral confusion, this message reminds us that our faith rests not in a philosophy, but in a risen Savior. Be encouraged that your work, your faith, and your perseverance are not in vain. Just as 2 Chronicles 15:7 declares, “Be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” Because Jesus lives, you can face tomorrow with strength, courage, and confidence that your hope is secure.Call to Action: Support this listener-funded ministry and help us continue spreading hope through daily devotional messages.☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/RBChristianRadio 🌐 Visit RB Christian Radio: https://www.RBChristianRadio.netWhere to Listen: Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and more—bringing daily hope, prayer, and Scripture to believers around the globe.Support the showThank you for listening!
