CLEAREST Picture of Jesus in OT ... According to JESUS #Devotional #BibleStudy #Bible

-

One of the clearest pictures of Jesus in the Old Testament comes in the form of a snake on a pole! That needs some explaining. As the children of Israel grumbled in sin, God once again sent punishment--serpents. Those who were bit died. And so the people cried out and Moses cried to God for mercy.

God gave mercy. He told Moses to put a brass serpent on a pole and all who looked at that serpent lived. And so those who wondered from their sick beds to look at the promised provision of God were spared.

Jesus said this pictures His work. We are all bitten by the serpent - sin itself. We have grumbled too... or any number of other sins. As Jesus was lifted up on the cross, He becamse sin in our place. He took on our sin, and was punished in our place. All who believe this promise and wander from their deathbed and look in faith to Him receive eternal life.

Look and live today!

Jesus said "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life" (John 3:14–15).

Thanks to God for a new house for our family. Soli Deo Gloria!

“But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works” (Psalm 73:28). Speaking God’s Works is a prominent theme in the Songs of Israel.  I’d like to ask you to glorify our God for doing wonderful works in a tangible way by providing a house for our family.  Front Porch Thankful for believing, praying, women in my life. I’ll be honest, I have not been praying very believingly about a new house until recently.  But my mom has been praying for years, and my wife has been praying for years, and my daughters have been praying for at least a year that the Lord would provide a house for our family. When my mom recounted to me the different amenities she was praying for, I tried to stop her.  “Mom, we are in NYC.  We don’t need to think about purchasing a home.  And especially one like you are asking for.  That is for people who live in suburbia.  God has called us to pastor here and it is too expensive to ev

🌒3️⃣ECLIPSES OF #BIBLE AND what THEY MEAN 🌙 #DailyDevotional #Christian #Prophecy #Religion #EndTimes

The Three Eclipses of the Bible and What They Mean Our eyes come across three eclipses in the Bible. The first one is when God judged Egypt for mistreating His children. This was one of the ninth of ten plagues... the final one before total rejection. "So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days" (Exodus 10:22). The second is the glorious one when Jesus is on the cross and the wrath of God for our sin is placed on Him. This darkness too lasted three hours. IN this time, God's wrath, the judgment for the sins of humanity was placed upon Jesus and He died in our place. "Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour" (Matthew 27:45). The third eclipse mentioned is yet to come. In several places the Bible foretells a time when God’s wrath will be poured out on the earth and there will not be an eclipse of just a small section but the whole earth. This will mark a

Lloyd Jones and Billy Graham – Association or Separation

-
Image
I just finished Ian Murray’s biography on Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones.  His ministry is an inspiration to me.  I love the simple consistency he exhibited and his reliance upon God ordained methods to accomplish God’s purposes. One area I find Lloyd Jones exhibited great wisdom was how he graciously resisted the overwhelming tide of the ecumenism of his day. Dr. Lloyd Jones believed that the ends should not justify the means.  In the 1950’s, ecumenism in England was championed by most Evangelical leaders.  Leaders like J I Packer believed that they were to gain greater respect by association with and dialog within theologically liberal associations.  The hope was to heal the cancerous body from within by being a healthy cell.  His end goal – a more respected evangelical voice. His means – accommodation with theological error. Most conservative evangelicals [1] today side with Lloyd Jones against Packer.  Association with those who deny fundamental truths of Scripture is wron
