Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. The Bible teaches that the Father sent the Son into the world (John 5:37; 6:44, 57; 8:16, 18; 12:49; 20:21; Galatians 4:4; 1 John 4:14). In other words, God sent Jesus. The Bible also tells us why God sent Jesus into the world—reasons that redound to His glory and our eternal benefit. We will look at four of the reasons God sent Jesus:

Let us then examine how a covenant was applied in everyday life. The pattern of covenanting that God used, was the Hittite Vassal Covenant. When two kings went to war and (say “A”) was the victor, he would enter into a “vassal covenant” with the defeated king (say “B”). He would then “lay down the rules” of the covenant – which means that the defea...
The covenant that God made with Abraham took approximately the same course, but with significant differences. Exactly as God knew beforehand, His covenant people of Israel, the posterity of Abraham, frequently violated His covenant. But God had a purpose, a goal, and nothing would stop Him from reaching it – Himself taking on the flesh of man in th...
We read of this final Messenger in the New Testament. But before we discuss this, just note the following: The New Testament was written in Greek. The Greek word for “messenger” is “Angelos”. This word is translated into English as “angel”. Now you and I know that people usually think of an “angel” as an ethereal human figure with wings. In some Bi...
Note: The Old Testament was written mainly in Hebrew. The Hebrew word “Messiah” means “Anointed One”. In Greek (the language of the New Testament) “Anointed One” is called “Christos”, which we translate into the English word “Christ”. The Jewish nation (Israel) expected, desired and longed for the coming of the Messiah – according to Scripture (Old...
Isaiah prophesied about (who turned out to be) John the Baptist: “The voice of him who cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight a highway in the desert for our God.” (Isa.40:3). When John was asked who he really is, he replied: “I am not the Christ” (John.1:20). “I am “the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make strai...
We must clearly understand John’s role in this respect. He was sent for one purpose, as described above – to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah, the Christ, Jesus. To do this, he explained: “that He be revealed to Israel, therefore I have come baptizing with water.” The apostle John wrote about John the Baptist (John.1:6-8): “There was a...
Now that we understand exactly what John was about, let us see what the prophet Malachi said about him 450 years before he was even born: “Behold, I will send My messenger, and He will clear the way before Me” (Mal.3:1). And v.1 continues: “Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look ...
Jan 4, 2022 · It could be said that the fundamental mission of Christ’s time on earth was to fulfill God’s plan of saving the lost. Jesus put it this way in Luke 19:10: “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”. Jesus had just been criticized for going to the house of a “sinner.”. Jesus responded by affirming His mission was to save ...
Verse 15. - And God sent an angel.It is at this point first that any mention of an angel is found in the parallel place, but then not in the present form, but in a sentence which would seem to presuppose the knowledge of the agency of an angel on the occasion: "And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil" (2 Samuel 24:16).
God also sent a Messenger to Jerusalem to destroy it, but as he was destroying it, the LORD reconsidered and changed his mind about the disaster. "Enough!" he said to the destroying Messenger. "Put down your weapon." The Messenger of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. Good News Translation
Dec 22, 2011 · Jesus prays to his Father in John 17:18, “As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.”. In identifying with Jesus, we are not only “not of this world,” but also sent right back into it on redemptive mission. The classic text is Jesus’ commission at the end of John’s Gospel: “As the Father has sent me, even ...

Sep 29, 2004 · 6. The Messiah could die for the sins of others because He had no sin of His own. He was sinless. The prophet Isaiah foretold of Him, They intended to bury him with criminals, but he ended up in a rich man’s tomb, because he had committed no violent deeds, nor had he spoken deceitfully (Isaiah 53:9).
