Knowing Jesus in the Old Testament?
Author: Andrew Malone
Publisher: Inter-Varsity Press
ISBN: 1783593504
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
The language of 'christophanies' is used technically by scholars to refer to appearances of the incarnate Son of God after his resurrection, as narrated in the New Testament Gospels and Acts. At a more popular level, though, the term is increasingly applied to alleged appearances of the pre-incarnate Son in the Old Testament. That Jesus appeared to - and was even recognized by - the likes of Abraham and Moses is usually argued from several scriptural trajectories. The New Testament suggests that God the Father is invisible, inviting us to ask who conducted the Old Testament appearances; the mysterious Angel of the Lord has often been interpreted as a manifestation of the divine Son; and several New Testament passages imply Old Testament appearances of and encounters with Jesus. It seems obvious, indeed orthodox, to affirm that Jesus has always been at work in communicating with and saving his world. However, Andrew Malone argues that, while Christ-centred readings of the Old Testament abound, christophanies prove to be a flimsy foundation on which to build. Despite apparent success, any scholarship commending the idea does not withstand close scrutiny. Malone carefully sifts the evidence to show that the popular arguments should be abandoned, and that the pursuit of Old Testament christophanies ultimately threatens to undermine the very values it promotes. He concludes that it better honours the Trinity and the text of Scripture to allow that the Father and the Spirit, as well as the Son, were themselves involved in Old Testament appearances.

Knowing Jesus - Bible Study Book
Author: Robby Gallaty
Publisher: Lifeway Church Resources
ISBN: 9781430063940
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Knowing Jesus Bible Study Book includes small-group experiences for six sessions, weekly individual study opportunities, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," and tips for leading a group. Early Christian tradition suggests that John's exclusive purpose for writing his Gospel was to proclaim Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God. He wanted his readers to know Jesus--from His words, from the words of others, and from His miracles. This small group study begins with an examination of the miracles recorded in the Gospel of John. It then takes you into the "I am" statements--what Jesus said about Himself. And the last two sessions focus on witnesses who affirmed who Jesus was and is. Knowing Jesus will help you grow in your faith, excel in good works, and know Jesus more intimately. Features: - Biblically rooted and gospel-centered - Group and personal components - Individual study opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth Benefits: - Dismiss a passing, lighthearted relationship with Jesus and pursue deeper discipleship. - Know Jesus through the eyewitness accounts of others. - Better understand Jesus by His miracles. - Develop a deeper understanding of Jesus as the Messiah through what He said about Himself. - Grow in faith through a more intimate knowledge of Jesus. - Excel in good works that flow from a growing relationship with Jesus.

Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart
Author: J.D. Greear
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1433679183
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.
