Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller explores how people are changed by meeting Jesus personally—and how we can be changed encountering him today. The people who met Jesus Christ in person faced the same big life questions we face today. Like most of us, the answers handed down to them didn’t seem to work in the real world. But when they met Jesus, things immediately started to change for them. It seems he not only had the answers—he was the answer. In Encounters with Jesus, Timothy Keller shows how the central events and meetings in Jesus’ life can change our own lives forever. "Keller's work belongs on the bookshelf of every serious Bible student." —Examiner "Keller has mined the gold from these texts of Scripture, and any Christian is bound to have their minds expanded and hearts stirred." —Grace for Sinners

Download or read book Encounter Jesus written by Peter M. Doane and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His Eminence Robert Cardinal Sarah, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, recently commented on the fire at Notre Dame cathedral. He said, “the Church is only of interest because she allows us to encounter Jesus. She is only legitimate because she passes on Revelation to us. When the Church becomes overburdened with human structures, it obstructs the light of God shining out in her and through her. The Church should be like a cathedral. Everything in Her should sing to the glory of God. She must unceasingly direct our gaze toward him, like the spire of Notre-Dame pointed toward heaven.” Encounter Jesus! Transforming Catholic Culture in Crisis is a call to rebuild a Catholic culture that has wandered from her spiritual root system. In the West and the United States, the light that shined, starting in the Acts of the Apostles, has become dim and in some places extinguished. The specifics to what apostolic spirituality embodies will convict, challenge, and call the clergy, consecrated religious, and laity to take seriously what it means to be a catholic Christian. Just as architects design the rebuilding of the Notre Dame Cathedral, may this book serve as a blueprint for transformation in the culture of the church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying a comprehensive theory of character to the Gospel of John, Cornelis Bennema provides a fresh analysis of the characters and their responses to Jesus. While the majority of scholars view most Johannine characters as “flat,” Bennema demonstrates that many are complex, developing, and “round.” John’s broad array of characters correspond to people and their choices in real life in any culture and time. This book highlights how John’s Gospel seeks to challenge its readers about where they stand in relation to Jesus.

In this book, Cyndi Parker guides us through the intriguing drama of history that created the context of first-century Judaism. She extends an invitation to readers to take a new look at the long drama of Gods interactions with humanity that reach a climax in the life of Jesus.

Download or read book Encounter Jesus in Genesis 1 written by Samuel J. Kim and published by Uijedang Press. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). God, who existed from eternity, created the entire universe and everything in it through His Word. And God proclaimed this fact in the very first verse of the Bible. To receive all the blessings in heaven, one must believe in the first verse of the Bible, which proclaims, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). Believing that the Creator God is alive is the first step of faith. Abraham is a representative person of faith who appears in Genesis. However, Jesus said about Abraham: “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad” (John 8:56). Abraham, a man of faith who lived about 2,000 years before Jesus came to this earth, met Jesus. We also meet Jesus Christ in the Words of Genesis. Jesus is the Son of God, the only begotten of God the Father. Jesus, the Word of life which was from the beginning, is the true light that came among us in the flesh according to the will of God the Father. When the true light came to this earth and shone in the darkness, the darkness fled in an instant. Jesus, who came “by water and blood” (1 John 5:6), offered “one sacrifice for sins forever” (Hebrews 10:12) with His body and eliminated all the sins of this world. Through this collection of sermons, I hope readers will meet Jesus Christ, who has saved us entirely from all sins and made us children of light. And I pray that you will receive all the blessings in Heaven through Him.

Download or read book Encounter Jesus in Genesis 3 written by Samuel J. Kim and published by 도서출판 의제당. This book was released on 2023-09-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible tells us, “Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations” (Genesis 6:9). Noah and Abraham both were the righteous before God. Even in seemingly hopeless circumstances, Abraham held onto God's promise and believed. Because of his unwavering faith, God counted him righteous. The Word of God speaks of Jesus, the Son of God “who came by water and blood” (1 John 5:6), and He completely blotted out all our sins. Can we genuinely hope and believe that Jesus, who walked the earth around 2000 years ago, fully paid for our sins? Jesus bore all our sins through His baptism. On the cross, as He shed His blood, He declared, “It is finished!” (John 19:30). Through His “one sacrifice of sin forever” (Hebrews 10:12), our sins were perfectly cleansed, leaving our hearts pure, like untouched snow. Those who place their faith in the Gospel of the water and the blood, are born again like Noah and Abraham by receiving the remission of sins. If you ever ponder whether you can be as righteous and blameless as Noah, understand this: Christians with sin weighing down their hearts cannot claim to be God's children. The answers you seek can be found within the pages of this book.

Download or read book Encounter Jesus in Genesis 5 written by Samuel J. Kim and published by 도서출판 의제당. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I began my expository preaching on Genesis with the proposition that “Genesis is the blueprint of the Bible.” The Words of Genesis contain truths and teachings that encapsulate the Bible. Through the lives of the faithful characters in Genesis, we can discern what kind of faith pleases God. Genesis teaches us in detail how we can obtain salvation and how the righteous, who have received salvation, should live their lives. The chief baker baked three baskets of white bread, placing various baked goods on them for the king, but he was executed. We must believe in the Word of God just as it is written, without adding or subtracting from the Word of Truth. Anyone who believes in the Gospel of Truth, which contains the witnesses of “the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one” (1 John 5:8), without adding or subtracting from it, receives the remission of sins and is born again as a righteous person. Also, only then can one follow the Word like Abraham did after being born again. Being the Words of life, the Book of Genesis guides us on the path of righteousness.

Download or read book Encounter Jesus in Genesis 2 written by Pastor Samuel J. Kim and published by 도서출판 의제당. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After they sinned, Adam and Eve made clothes out of fig leaves to hide their shame. That was the first religious attempt to cover up sin with human righteousness and merit. But, they could not truly hide their shame (sin) with these fig leaf garments. God took away their fig leaf garments and gave them tunics made from the skin of a sacrificed lamb. These tunics symbolize God's righteousness, which perfectly and forever hides human shame (sin). The offerings of Adam's sons, Cain and Abel, show the difference between human and God's righteousness. God accepted Abel's offering of the "firstborn of his flock and of their fat" (Genesis 4:4), but He did not receive Cain's gift of "the fruit of the ground" (Genesis 4:3). Religion is about trying to show off human righteousness, which Satan encourages. On the other hand, faith is about trusting in and following God's righteousness, which He has made perfect and gives us as a gift. From the start of Genesis, the Bible tells us that only those who trust and follow God's righteousness are born again by receiving the remission of their sins to enter the everlasting rest that God has prepared.

Download or read book Encounter Jesus in Genesis 4 written by Samuel J. Kim and published by 도서출판 의제당. This book was released on 2023-10-22 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Genesis, we encounter the same Jesus that Abraham met. As a result, we've received the remission of sins and experienced being born again. Through our belief in the Gospel of Truth, we've transformed into righteous individuals, the holy saints with circumcised hearts, and as such, we are God's children, blessed with eternal life. By walking alongside God throughout our lives, we too can bask in the rapture's glory, mirroring Enoch's experience. As God proclaimed, "The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth" (Genesis 8:21). In response, we should set aside our own perceptions, placing trust in and adhering to God's Word. Such genuine faith truly pleases Him. Among believers, two distinct groups emerge: those solely devoted to God, and those who balance their worship between God and idols. The former group's faith lies in the God of Abraham, while the latter places trust in the God of Nahor. It's worth noting that Nahor's lineage revered both the teraphim and God. In present times, numerous Christians find themselves serving both God and wealth. Such a faith, aligned with the God of Nahor, can be termed as a pseudo-belief. Abraham pursued the Word, undeterred by uncertainties of his path. It's my genuine wish for each of us to lead lives of faith, reminiscent of Abraham, which resonate with God's pleasure.
