The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Omitted from Masonic Lodges?

Jesus Christ is rarely mentioned in Masonic ceremonies.   Moreover, it stands to reason that Jesus' resurrection is omitted.  They seem to reject His most precious act of redemption.  Let us never reject Jesus' resurrection because He rose for our justification.  Here is what Masonic literature says on these subjects,
"In a well-ordered lodge, Jesus is never mentioned except in vague, philosophical terms.  Prayers are never prayed in His name, and when scriptures are quoted in the ritual, all references to Him are simply omitted" (Jim Shaw, The Deadly Deception, p. 76).
Freemasonry rejects praying in Jesus' name, His majestic deity, salvation solely through Him alone and if these are omitted it surely stands to reason that they reject Jesus' divine and bodily resurrection which is the heart of the Christian faith.
