a sermon from Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones including the main messianic prophecies You will recall that last Friday evening, in finishing our consideration of the doctrine of the covenant, the Great Covenant of Grace, we ended by emphasizing the fact that the covenant in both its expressions or in both its dispensations always points to the person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. And therefore, we have come to our consideration of this great biblical doctrine of or concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, while this is obviously and clearly not the starting point of biblical doctrine, it is certainly the core and the centre of biblical doctrine [the differentia of Christianity] ... We start with the great doctrine of God and how God has revealed himself and men and his need and so on. But obviously, we come to this which, as I say, is the core and the centre of biblical doctrine. Because the truth concerning the Lord Jesus Christ is at one and the same time the centra...

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones prédikációja tartalmazza a legfontosabb messiási próféciákat Emlékeztek bizonyára, hogy múlt péntek este, amikor befejeztük a szövetség tanának, a Nagy Kegyelmi Szövetségnek a tárgyalását, azzal zártuk, hogy hangsúlyoztuk: a szövetség mindkét megnyilvánulásában, mindkét korszakában mindig Urunk és Megváltónk, Jézus Krisztus személyére mutat. Így eljutottunk tehát ahhoz, hogy megvizsgáljuk ezt a nagy bibliai tanítást, amely Urunk Jézus Krisztusról szól. Nos, bár ez nyilvánvalóan és egyértelműen nem a bibliai tanítás kiindulópontja, minden bizonnyal a bibliai tanítás magja és középpontja. [a Keresztyénség – más] ... Először Isten nagy tanításával kezdjük, azzal, hogy Isten hogyan nyilvánította ki magát, mutatta be az embereket, szükségüket és így tovább. De így nyilvánvalóan eljutunk ehhez a részhez, ami – ahogy mondtam – a bibliai tanítás magja és középpontja. Mert az Úr Jézus Krisztussal kapcsolatos igazság egyszerre a megváltás történeté...

A Devotional on God’s Strength in Our Weakness In a world that often equates strength with force, Scripture reveals a God who lifts, restores, and empowers. This devotional invites you to explore how His gentle nearness and restoring power becomes the very source of your strength and greatness. Opening Reflection When we read Psalm 18:35 it contains a humble statement: You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great. Ps 18:34-35 This can be surprising for many: Not His thunder, not His power, not His might — but His gentleness makes fundamental changes in our lives. God has represented His reconciliation and restoring plan through his word, giving us a messianic plan. When "His word became flesh," He didn't just fulfill the promises — He changed the form and shape of the written message forever. In Yeshua Gd introduced himself: introduced the spiritual truth in the visible but ...

"Put on the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 13:14) conveys a profound and important message. The passage reads: “Put on” the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not indulge the old nature* or fulfill its desires! Romans 13:14 * sarx: flesh In this verse, the Apostle Paul warns believers to clothe themselves in Christ, symbolizing the life of a believer, which signifies a relationship with Christ. The apostle makes it clear that this is not merely about outward appearance, but also refers to inner transformation and fellowship with God. It is important to understand that Paul focuses here on the inner purity of worship and character. Nourishing the “flesh”, that is, the physical nature, leads toward sinful desires, while putting on Christ signifies divine desires and a deeper communion with the Lord; Walking with the Lord and acknowledging Him in all things. This walking and living together is a fundamental statement...

BibleLife Daily "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But say the word, and my servant will be healed." Luke 7:6-7 In the town of Capernaum, a Roman centurion - a man of authority and discipline - faced a situation he could not control. Though he commanded soldiers and understood power, he could not save the life of a servant he deeply valued, who lay sick and near death. In his desperation, he turned to Jesus Christ, having heard of His power to heal. What makes this moment remarkable is not just the miracle that followed, but the posture of the centurion's heart. Instead of demanding help based on his position, he approached with humility. He did not even consider himself worthy to stand before Jesus. Rather than insisting that Jesus come to his home, he expressed a profound level of faith-believing that a single word from Jesus would be enough to bring healing. The centurion understood authority in a way that many did not. ...

Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and WALKED. (John 5/8-9 NKJV) The remains of the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-9) are in Jerusalem today, just north of the Temple Mount. Excavations have discovered that it had five porches, just as John described (John 5:2). This pool was surrounded by a multitude of hurting humanity. They waited for an angel to come down and stir up the waters – believing that the first person in the water after the stirring would be healed. We don’t know if the promise of healing was real or merely a hopeful legend; nevertheless, people believed it. Coming to a well outside Sychar, Jesus sent His disciples into the village to get some food. When the disciples left, Jesus had an amazing conversation with a Samaritan Jesus asked the lame man an unusual question: “Do you want to be made well?” (John 5:6) Jesus knew that not every sick person wants to be healed,...

Part II Misinterpretation of the two judgments Two Events — One Misreading — Two Thousand Years of Confusion These chapters examine why two distinct divine judgments have so often been collapsed into one — with grave doctrinal consequences — and how the original Greek word bema , carved in stone on an Athenian hillside, unlocks Paul's precise and deliberate meaning. I The Core Confusion: Two Distinct Events Collapsed Into One The mixing of the Bema Seat (for believers) and the Great White Throne / Sheep & Goats judgment (for all nations / unbelievers) is not a minor hermeneutical slip. It has profound doctrinal consequences . When these two events are blended together, the result is almost always a corruption of the gospel itself. What Gets Lost The finished work of Christ is subtly undermined — salvation begins to feel conditional on performance. Assurance of salvation i...
