Mike's favorite Bible passage was the gospel message from 1 Corinthians 15:3-4:

"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" (KJV)
