Author’s Note: Having recently read about the Shroud of Turin and heard the words “write about me” in a recent dream, this article was researched and composed.
God the Creator has graciously preserved and given to humanity an astounding, miraculous, 2,000-year old gift, a precious holy relic. It is the Shroud of Turin, the recently authenticated burial cloth of Jesus Christ determined by extensive research and scientific examination to be the genuine article. For sure, the implications of this finding are far reaching.
The 14.5 x 3.7 foot Shroud contains a face-up image of a man with blood stains on his forehead, wrists, side, and feet; exactly the areas of the body where the Christian Bible describes how Jesus, the Son of God, was crucified by Roman soldiers. Below is the facial image on the Shroud:
Recent research indicates that the fabric of the Shroud is characteristic of fabrics woven in Israel during the first century and that the fabric contains microscopic residue of plants known to exist around Jerusalem.
A recent Newsmax post states: “Dr. Robert Harrington, a renowned skeptic and scientist, recently shocked his colleagues and peers when he announced his conversion to Christianity after a groundbreaking investigation into the Shroud of Turin.”
“Dr. Harrington embarked on his study of the Shroud intending to debunk its authenticity. However, as he delved deeper into the analysis, employing cutting-edge technology and methodologies, he encountered findings that challenged his scientific and personal beliefs.”
“‘I approached this study with a critical mind, ready to expose what I believed was a long-standing historical fabrication,’ Dr. Harrington explained. ‘But the evidence we uncovered was so compelling that it left no room for doubt. This is the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth.’”
Extensive examination of the Shroud indicates, among other things, that the blood and other bodily fluids/stains on the fabric were “burned” into the fabric by a tremendous burst of energy unexplainable by scientific examination. In fact, the study group of the Shroud of Turin Research Projectthat included 35 physicists, chemists, NASA image specialists, electrical engineers, a forensic pathologist, and others, determined that:
• the Shroud’s image appears to be created by an oscillating strobe of high intensity light coming from inside the body;
• the burning event happened in 1/40 of a billion of a second like a laser beam, moving 2.5 billion watts of electricity; to create a similar light, one would need all the electric power generated on Earth!
Given all the above, the question arises: what should the information and findings about the Shroud of Turin mean to people? The following comments and conclusions are offered:
• The latest scientific findings---using devices that scan deep space and probe the smallest nanoparticles of the human cell----have verified claims many Christians have long held about the Shroud; that it is, in fact, the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth.
• The Shroud establishes the fact that Jesus was a real person who was crucified and died. His body was wrapped in a burial cloth where it underwent a tremendous burst of energy so powerful that modern science cannot explain such a tremendously powerful event.
• The Bible says that God raised Jesus from his dead body and that he, in his resurrected body, interacted with hundreds of people for another 40 days proving that he had overcome death so that people would have faith in him and assurance of an afterlife with their Heavenly Father. At the end of the 40-day period, the Bible says that Jesus returned to Heaven to “sit at God’s right hand”.
