Tune and Prepare!

meditation For since the Law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. .. in these there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,* but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God , as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’” Heb 10:1-2.3-5;(Ps 40:6-8) According to the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, it is no coincidence that Jesus Christ displayed the character of God and presented the knowledge of God. {And we must remember what "knowledge" means } He is the message that came in the flesh and he p...

W hen Jesus was born, he received a gift set consisting of three items from the wise men who had travelled from the mythical Far East. The package contained the following:  · Gold  · Frankincense  · Myrrh ... These gifts came from the Magi... from the people who were far, separated from God and His covenant.. they openly acknowledged that a majestic Ruler – greater than any earthly power – had come into the world. Well then. Why are we building a throne today? Our reflection - our workout with Gd The next deep teaching comes from ap Paul who indeed understood the significance of the death — life dynamic. Read it carefully: this is not just God's work. This is not just your work. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. ...

W hen Jesus was born he got a 3 part gift collection from the wise men who arrived from the mythical far east. The pack contained:  · Gold  · Frankincense  · Myrrh with good reason. First of all, he (his parents: Joseph and Mary) received it for practical reasons, as the family had to flee to Egypt immediately, and that is a huge undertaking even for a relatively well-off family. And they were not among them. The journey was a painful and fearful necessity, and the completely new environment demanded a whole new way of life and genuine faith.* A carpenter obviously found work in Egypt too, but for an entire family, this whole transition was not quite so simple. Women were not part of the breadwinning class, and raising children in safety and peace is not possible without a stable foundation. Secondly, these gifts came from a spiritual source (from the Magii) where people who were far from God and His covenant openly ...

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...
