<title>Christ in Both Testaments</title>

<description><![CDATA[In the Old Testament, Christ appeared as the Angel of the Lord, called Theophanies or Christophanies. They were only on certain and occasional times over long periods of human history. The incarnation was continual and permanent as a historical life. The word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). Colossians 2:9 says of the ascended Christ, "For in Him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily." I Timothy 3:16 - "He was manifested in the flesh." I John 4:2-3 - " Every spirit which confesses that Christ Jesus has come in the flesh is of God." Christ's human nature was exactly like ours except without sin (Romans 8:3).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When we are doing our best to live God's will in our life by depending on His Spirit within, His Word of guidance and promise, constantly in communication with Him in prayer, there is no person or force in the universe that can defeat us. Jesus has already overcome the world. The Armor that Paul describes has been given to every believer and can only become stronger as we become closer to God through Jesus and the Comforter He has given us, both now and forever more. Amen.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The managing of money has become an increasingly larger industry in itself - administering rights and obligations of owners and debtors. We are all entangled within the increasingly complicated web. More and more aspects of life are defined by profit and loss, monetary value etc. all in numerical form. This has become the main focus of most people's lives. True values, either moral or spiritual, are left behind, and seldom remembered.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Worship leads to service, which is possible through the gifts of the Spirit. We must not think too highly of ourselves - all are saved sinners, only by God's grace and mercy. You may minister to the church through the same areas of natural (God given) talent or ability - or you may not. We are to use God's gifts for God's glory as we have accepted God's grace, so that God's greatest Gift to us, His Son, may be glorified.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If anything that Scripture records Jesus saying is true, what if everything Jesus said is also true? If anything that Jesus predicted came true, what if everything He predicted also comes true? The predictions that have already come to pass include his persecution, condemnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. When we look at Revelation, we see more predictions - the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, the spread of the Gospel around the world, the false prophets, the increase of sin, and wars. We can also see all the rest of things to come in the book of Revelation, which include the eternal state.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The recent rise to prominence of the European Union has started all nations on the path to globalization. It is seen as the logical and inevitable way to prosperity which will bring happiness, contentment, and world peace. The whole 'global warming' movement adds an emotional and universal impetus in this direction. The claim is that without all people cooperating in the struggle for a solution, the Earth will not survive. The claim is that man caused it, so man is responsible to band together to solve it, or else.]]></description>

A record may be being kept of all their accomplishments in His Name down through the years. A book written of all that Jesus does and teaches through each of us - a book about every believer.

There may be some that are seeking Him, but He was seeking them first. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end of the work of grace, mercy, and forgiveness. This from the boundless love of the Father Who sent the Son for this purpose.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Only recently do we begin to understand the complexity of the human brain. Evolution cannot account for its development. The human brain generates consciousness, complex thought processes, and the ability to communicate with others. Human language is unique with no evolutionary explanation. It is a special gift of God to the first man and woman, so they could communicate with each other and God. The original language families were also supernaturally given by God, to stop the rebellion against Him at the Tower of Babel. They all had the basic mental skills to learn to write in their new languages. Most likely the earliest began in Sumeria, Assyria, all the fertile crescent.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The new nation - 'God has raised up a holy nation, a peculiar people...now the people of God' (I Peter 2:9,10). They are citizens of heaven, Christ their king, now serving as Christ's ambassadors, trying to convince others to be reconciled to God (II Corinthians 5:20). This is a message of eternal salvation (Matthew 28:19). God is evaluating the nations according to their response to this Gospel. On the disciples' first missionary journey, Jesus described the fate of the cities that did not welcome them as 'It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city' (Matthew 10:14-15). Any nations that persecute Christians will be judged severely (see Acts 13:51).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[To make a living means to provide daily bread, growing the grain, making the bread. Hard work, a difficult environment, the only way to sustain life. The only instance of an exception was the people of Israel, who did not believe God after the Exodus. They were to live in the wilderness for 40 years, neither planting grain nor making bread. God provided for them with the manna from heaven. 'The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.' (Psalms 105:40.) 'Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.' (Exodus 16:4.)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One thing is certain in the world. Even after all that modern scientists have done to prove otherwise, there is no evidence whatsoever, historic or scientific, that evolution (from simpler to more complex) is occurring today. Evolution is not observable nor has any scientific experiment proved it. It must be accepted by faith. No recorded history mentions any observation of mutation into more complex form. On the contrary, a great number of species have become extinct.]]></description>

The high priest entered the Holy of Holies once a year. Christ entered the heavenly one Once for All. The high priest entered through the veil. At Christ's death, the veil was rent. The High Priest offered sacrifice each year. Christ offered Himself once for all. He offered for the sins of the people and not his own sin. The high priest offered the blood of bulls.

<description><![CDATA[Ask a neighbor, coworker, or family member "Who is Jesus Christ?" and you may be hard-pressed to find a clear and correct answer. There is much confusion in today's culture concerning Christ - who He is and the nature of His character. The early church was also confused, and the book of Colossians was written by the apostle Paul to help clarify that the truth of Christ is vital to Christianity. If Christ is not the Savior of all mankind, our world is hopeless; if Christ is the Savior of the world, then we must worship Him.]]></description>
