The Shroud Of Turin Revisited

I wanted to renew my faith that we should all have in Jesus Christ.  And hopefully I will inspire others to revisit their faith and feel the connection I am trying to make.

I would like to begin with a prophecy that Jesus made that is not very popular but was among one of the most amazing prophecies that he should have been known for.  It was a prophecy that was given to the King Abgar of Edessa.  Here is a famous picture of him holding the Shroud of Turin with a picture of Jesus on it.

  King Abgar of Edessa wrote a letter to Jesus asking him to cure his illness and Jesus sent him a letter back.  This is something to make note of because may naysayers of Jesus try to say that Jesus had never written anything.  I think this is one example that proves that Jesus did have the ability to write, and he must have been an intelligent man in those days to be able to write.   I’m not here to debate with atheist so I want to jump right back on track, Jesus replies by letter saying that after he completed his earthly mission and ascended to heaven, he would send a deciple to heal King Abgar.  At this time there was no mention of any shroud or image.  Jude Thaddeus came with a mission to heal Abgar simply through the faith of Jesus.  Legend has it that this cloth was the famous Shroud of Turin that we all know of today.  My view on this is that the shroud itself has the power to heal because it was wrapped around Jesus in the tomb before the time of his resurrection, and the shroud would also have been anointed by the holy blood of Jesus Christ.  So in my view, it was not Thaddeus that had the power to heal, but it was the blood on the cloth that covered his body, and Jesus would have to have known that he would be covered by a cloth after his death and during his resurrection, and that his disciple would give King Abgar the cloth  that covered his body soaked by the blood of his crucifiction.   That level of insight, that was the son of the Almighty God, that was Jesus our savior fulfilling the ministry of his life even after his death and resurrection.
