Eh. Maybe. It is an artists’ conception, based on a legend.

But if you haven’t come to saving faith in Christ, you simply aren’t saved, despite being moved in viewing any object.

**But if you haven’t come to saving faith in Christ, you simply aren’t saved, despite being moved in viewing any object.**

And that faith is more that a confession. It’s obedience to the words that Jesus and his apostles spoke. And he commanded water and Spirit rebirth.

After suffering through the first three plagues with the Egyptians, the remaining plagues were miracles to the unaffected Israelites. The Passover saved the firstborn, and broke the bondage. However, the Israelites had to obey God by leaving that land and go to the promised land.... HIS way, not the expected land route to Canaan. God had Moses turn the people to the Red Sea.

It was at the Red Sea that the Israelites (including the already once spared firstborn) “were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea” (1 Cor. 10:2), and there received “the salvation of the LORD”.... “Thus the LORD saved Israel that day” (Ex. 14:13,30), as the Egyptian army was drowned.

Paul’s own testimony mentions of his being baptized to wash away his sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16).

The shroud is a physical object not a legend.

Well...the fact is Jesus is alive, he walked among us before and after he was buried before he went to His father. Which is far far more exciting and worthy of our attention as we serve a risen Christ....than some artists depiction of a mans dead body.
