Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the New Testament tell us about Jesus as the agent of God's love for humankind? Throughout the decades, a host of books has addressed this fundamental question of Christianity. Now leading biblical scholar Daniel J. Harrington, S.J., sheds abundant new light upon it by revealing how the New Testament writers understand that to see Jesus is to see the Father.

The key topics explored in this book include: Revealer and Revelation of God's Love (Gospel of John) Teacher of Love (Synoptic Gospels) The Heart of the Gospels: the Paschal Mystery (Pauline writings) Proof of God's Love (Hebrews and 1 Peter) Ground of Hope (Revelation) Unique to this work are the "Think, Pray, and Act" sections at the end of every chapter.

Chapter titles include: "Jesus: The Ultimate Son," "The River of God," The Prodigal Father," "Finding Home," and "Walking with God and Hearing His Voice." This book is not for the faint of heart. If you have a great spiritual hunger for the things of God, this book will challenge you to satisfy that hunger. This is an opportunity-an invitation, to boldly go where you've never gone before, to do what you've never done before, and to be who you've never been before!

Download or read book Revealing the Father Through the Book of Revelation written by Hegumen Abraam Sleman and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Revelation is the culmination of the New Testament, the Good News of God, the heavenly Father, in the Lord Jesus Christ. Its message, as well as that of the whole Bible, is that "God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). It is a message of love, hope, and encouragement. In Revelation, the heavenly Father reveals His glory, power, love, and His purposes. His will is to reconcile the world to Himself through the Lord Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection and make a new creation. Discovering the meaning of this redemption is central to the Book of Revelation. Like all other Bible books, the heavenly Father inspired the Book of Revelation. It is helpful for teaching, showing people what is wrong in their lives, correcting faults, and teaching how to live right (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Those who avoid reading Revelation miss a rich treasure of divine truth and the promised blessings from understanding and keeping that truth. In these days of uncertainty, the Book of Revelation shows that the heavenly Father is in control. He is working out His sovereign plan, and He is destroying the power of evil. In the end, the heavenly Father and His people are victorious through the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 7:14, 12:11). Knowledge of this fundamental truth replaces fear with hope and confidence, calls us to worship, and motivates holiness.
Download or read book Revelation s Great Love Story written by Larry L. Lichtenwalter and published by Autumn House Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Revelation. The Apocalypse. Words that often call to mind bizarre creatures, strange seals, dreadful plagues, and a slew of other mystifying symbols.Most of us approach this last book of the Bible with forebodings rather than hope. To us John?s vision seems more like a nightmare.But the elderly apostle begins with a statement that doesn?t seem to fit the rest of the book: ?The revelation of Jesus Christ.? Apparently he intends to unveil something tremendously important about Jesus. Something life-changing. Something we can?t afford to miss.Larry Lichtenwalter explores a side of Revelation seldom portrayed: Christ?s passionate love for humanity. This recurring theme subtly appears in the imagery and symbolism throughout John?s vision. The slain Lamb. The divine protective sealing. The blood-bleached-white robes. The heart-wrenching prayer of the saints. Without Christ?s love, these scenes and symbols would mean nothing.Ultimately John?s vision reveals the extraordinary love of our Savior for His rebellious, undeserving children?and the incredible reasons we can love Him in return.

Book excerpt: A touching memoir of life with an alcoholic father who secretly works with the CIA, a dark pilgrimage through the valley of depression and addiction, and finding a faith to redeem and a strength to forgive. "This is a record of my life as I remember it—but more importantly, as I felt it." At the age of sixteen, Ian Morgan Cron was told by his mother that his father, a motion picture executive, worked with the CIA in Europe. This astonishing revelation, coupled with his father's dark struggle with alcoholism, upended the world of a teenager struggling to become a man. Born into a family of privilege and power, Ian's life is populated with colorful people and stories as his father takes the family on a wild roller-coaster ride through wealth and poverty and back again. Decades later, as he faced his own personal demons, Ian realized that the only way to find peace was to voyage back through a painful childhood marked by extremes—privilege and poverty, violence and tenderness, truth and deceit—that he’d spent years trying to escape. A fast-paced, unique memoir about the power of forgiveness from the bestselling author of The Road Back to You Details his father’s struggle with alcohol and Cron’s own journey from addiction to twenty-three years of sobriety Encouragement to see God’s redemptive power through life’s struggles In this surprisingly funny and forgiving memoir, Ian reminds us that no matter how different the pieces may be, in the end we are all cut from the same cloth, stitched by faith into an exquisite quilt of grace.
Download or read book Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.
