Yes… provided He decides to die nearby.
Film director, James Cameron believes he has found where Christ was buried.
And the locals are excited.
Local residents said they were pleased with the attention the tomb has drawn.
"It will mean our house prices will go up because Christians will want to live here," one woman said.
It's not as good as an ocean view or a quality school system, but it's certainly better than a nearby powerplant.
And if only Christ had died in North Portland, my parents would be millionaires.

Apparently so. And not just homes, but church property as well!
When a person offers to pray for the needs within CBC, that person is probably thinking there will be serious health issues to pray for or family tragedies — things that only God can bring healing and comfort in. I am willing to go to God on behalf of these requests.
But then there are the property requests: Please pray that the real estate deals will all go smoothly so that the church can purchase/sell _________. Please pray that ___________ can get $xxxx so that they can move into a lovely house. Please pray for favor on ____________ so they can get a deal on their new property.
What is God going to do if the seller is a Christian, or just a nice guy He wants to bless? Quite a dilemma for the Maker of the universe, I’m sure. Do you think anyone ever prays that they will have extra money to bless the seller/contractor? Oh no. The extra money must always go to the church, and God gets the glory for being such a good negotiator.
I know someone who was particularly disturbed when a district pastor who lived up the street from them complained about how the houses in that neighborhood just didn’t suit their family and would everyone please pray for them to get a better house. They seemed completely unaware that they were disdaining the entire group they were supposed to be “shepherding.” sigh.
Anna please,
“disdaining”? Everyone should have faith for more…you know…expectation. If you are happy living in a subpar neighborhood you don’t belong at CBC.
Jesus hates houses with only one bathroom and a garage made for a Model T.
If He hates my house so much (yes, my house only has one bathroom and a garage for a Model T), why does He come and visit me so often?
LOL!! Yeah Anna, you made my day with that comment! Very cute.

You must have ample street parking?
I loved the comment that I saw that said:
“Jesus was a Nazerene, not a dweller in Jerusalum, and it is extremely unlikely that he would be buried there”
Talk about understatement.
I find it extremely unlikely that Jesus is in ANY tomb!
