JESUS – A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN

Musick-al note # 75            The teaching concerning heaven and hell is an inseparable part of the New Testament.  Even Old Testament writers spoke of the reality of heaven and hell and that those who are righteous will go to heaven and the unrighteous will go to hell.  What is heaven?  What is hell?      Continue reading “JESUS – A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN”

JESUS – HIS SAVING BLOOD

Musick-al note # 73                                                                              God sent his son into the world that he might redeem man.  To that end Jesus gave his life-blood for all mankind.  In Hebrews 2:9, the writer states that “He by the grace of God tasted death for every man.”  In Ephesians 1:7, Paul said “In Him we haveContinue reading “JESUS – HIS SAVING BLOOD”

JESUS – THE CARPENTER

Musick-al note # 69                                                               Mark 6:3 “Is not this the carpenter, son of Mary and they took offense at him”.  Jesus was seen as a carpenter, a lowly occupation.

JESUS – HIS PARABLES

Musick-al note # 68             Most of Jesus teaching was in parables. A parable is teaching spiritual truths through earthly illustrations. When asked why he was using parables, Jesus said, “these things are done in parables so that those outside would ‘see but not perceive’ and ‘hear but not understand’ (Matthew 13:10-11, Mark 4:11-12).  ManyContinue reading “JESUS – HIS PARABLES”
