Book excerpt: In Jesus The Pattern Son, Bill Britton presents the stunning premise that the life of Jesus in His humanity on earth sets a divine pattern for the endtime body of Christ, the Church. In this day when Christians are focused so much on signs and wonders, the author reminds us that Jesus Himself is God's greatest sign of all. This sign was given when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but will be fulfilled in its completeness with the endtimes manifestation of the mature sons of God, when the "many-membered" body of Christ, the Church, receives the anointing of the Spirit "without measure," and walks in the power and authority of the Lord Himself. In that day will be fulfilled in the saints what Paul called "the riches of the glory of this mystery...which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1:27).While many Christians futilely await a "Rapture" that will take them far away from the travails of the earth, God actually has a far better plan. While the "children of darkness" are swept away in judgment, the "children of light" will be "entering into the day of God's glory, the unveiling of His power and majesty in the human flesh of His body, the Church." A glorious destiny awaits those who will press forward to enter into the fullness of mature sons of God.

Download or read book Jesus Son of God Son of Man Jesus Is Our Pattern written by J. Harlow Holmes and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Commentary like no other today. It reveals the true nature of Jesus as He walked on the earth and fulfilled the very necessary role that was required because of Adam’s fall. It fulfills the passage of I Corinthians 15:45—the last Adam. Jesus had to be like us in order to take our place. He was not God in flesh as preached today from most pulpits. He was the manifestation of God, His Father. Manifestation is the KEY word. He was God manifested in the flesh. When the Apostles saw Jesus in action they saw God the Father, John 14:9-11. We can see God in Jesus. Another important message is that Jesus was our pattern. We, the Church, should be doing the things that He did today. He Said to the disciples:“As the Father sent Me, so send I you.”John 20:21. Then He included us in His prayer in John 17:20-21. The Bible has been translated by those who believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. This came from Constantine and the first Nicene Creed in the 300s AD with the penalty of death involving over 200 Bishops if rhey did not sign it as he commanded. It seems that two were willing to die for the truth. All that was required to emphasize that Jesus was God just involved some prepositions and pronouns. However, the bulk of Jesus’ confession indicates otherwise. The Prologue is the foundation of proof that Jesus was a human being just like you and me. The Lord told me that most everyone is a product of someone else’s teaching today. However, when I was first filled with the Holy Spirit in my mid-twenties Jesus told me to let Him teach me. I have been faithful to that command for nearly 65 years. This commentary is the result of that command.

Download or read book Moses the Pattern Son written by Sandra Crum and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thirty year study of the Tabernacle of Moses, took me into the life of Jesus Christ. I began to see the parallel of the salvation plan along with the tabernacle of Moses come together. I saw where Noah was told by God to build the ark. He was given the measurements and what type of wood to use. This was not random; it was all in the plan of God. Then, he told Jochebed, Moses' mother to make an ark and to lay her son, Moses in the Ark. Then Jesus is the Ark or the Ark of Safety. In the tabernacle of Moses, you will see the cross, the salvation plan, how everything has a meaning and a plan.
Download or read book Honoring the Son written by L. W. Hurtado and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the New Testament or the creeds of the church were written—the devotional practices of the earliest Christians indicate that they worshipped Jesus alongside the Father. Larry W. Hurtado has been one of the leading scholars on early Christology for decades. In Honoring the Son: Jesus in Earliest Christian Devotional Practice, Hurtado helps readers understand early Christology by examining not just what early Christians believed or wrote about Jesus, but what their devotional practices tell us about the place of Jesus in early Christian worship. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of early Christian origins and scholarship on New Testament Christology, Hurtado examines the distinctiveness of early Christian worship by comparing it to both Jewish worship patterns and worship practices within the broader Roman--era religious environment. He argues that the inclusion of the risen Jesus alongside the Father in early Christian devotional practices was a distinct and unique religious phenomenon within its ancient context. Additionally, Hurtado demonstrates that this remarkable development was not invented decades after the resurrection of Christ as some scholars once claimed. Instead, the New Testament suggests that Jesus--followers, very quickly after the resurrection of Christ, began to worship the Son alongside the Father. Honoring the Son offers a look into the worship habits of the earliest Christians to understand the place of Jesus in early Christian devotion.

Download or read book Sons of God Awake written by Bill Britton and published by Egen Company LLC. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this visionary and ground-breaking book, Bill Britton describes the "unfolding revelation of Jesus Christ in His Sons," the corporate Body of Christ on earth, and provides a tantalizing glimpse of a new dimension of ministry not yet fully manifested where the Sons of God will break through "the veil" of the Holy of Holies into the full experience of Sonship. We know this is true because Jesus, the Pattern Son, has already entered into this realm as our Forerunner, and where Jesus goes, His Sons will follow. In six concise and compelling chapters, the author presents a stunning picture of a "ministry without limitation" that will be entered into by fully mature Sons of God. This soon-to-be-revealed ministry will operate in a new dimension beyond justification and Holy Spirit baptism, the first two crucial steps; a realm of life and restoration, for which all creation yearns. Jesus Himself, in His deity and humanity, brought a taste of heaven to earth and revealed His plan to share His glory with "a Company of Sons conformed to His image." Jesus is the 41st generation from King David in Matthew chapter one. This Company of Sons is the 42nd generation, with whom and through whom He will rule over all things.

Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Truly this was the Son of God!" Matthew 27:54 The theme of divine sonship stretches across the pages of the Bible: from Adam in the garden of Eden, through the nation of Israel and King David, and ultimately to Jesus Christ in the New Jerusalem—the Son of God par excellence. In this volume, renowned biblical scholar Graeme Goldsworthy shows what Christ's fulfillment of the divine sonship motif means for all who are sons and daughters of God. Part of the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series.
Download or read book The Universal Christ written by Richard Rohr and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Download or read book Incredible Shrinking Son of Man written by Robert M. Price and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2009-09-25 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book should be mandatory reading for all scholars concerned with Christian origins ... nothing of comparable importance has been written for at least a decade." - Freethinker For more than a century scholars have been examining the Gospels and other traditions about the life of Jesus to determine their historical accuracy. Although the results of these scholarly efforts are sometimes controversial, the consensus among researchers today is that the four Evangelists'' accounts cannot be taken at face value. In fact, a team of more than 100 scholars called the Jesus Seminar has come to the conclusion that on average only about 18 percent of the four Gospels is historically accurate.An active member of the Jesus Seminar, Dr. Robert M. Price presents the fruits of this important historical research in this fascinating discussion of early Christianity. As the title suggests, Price is none too optimistic about the reliability of the Gospel tradition as a source of accurate historical information about the life of Jesus. Indeed, he feels that his colleagues in the Jesus Seminar are much too optimistic in their estimate of authentic material in the Gospels. After an introduction to the historical-critical method for nonspecialists and a critique of the methods used by the Jesus Seminar, Price systematically discusses the narrative and teaching materials in the Gospel, clearly presenting what is known and not known about all of the major episodes of Jesus'' life. He also examines the parables for authenticity as well as Jesus'' teachings about the Kingdom of God, repentance, prayer, possessions and poverty, the Atonement, and many other features of the Gospels.Written for the general reading public in a lively and accessible style, Dr. Price''s highly informative discussion will be of interest to anyone who has wondered about the origins of Christianity.
