Musick-al note # 67             Do we misunderstand Jesus as we consider his life in the world?  Do we look upon his life as a person who just wandered about the Judean hills telling stories, parables and healing people? Was he just a wandering preacher who did good deeds but died on a cross inContinue reading “JESUS – HIS WORK”

Musick-al Note # 66          Paul prayed for the Ephesians to be strengthened in their spirits so that Christ would dwell in them and that they might comprehend the breadth, length, height and the depth of His love that surpasses knowledge and be filled with the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:14-19). Jesus’ love is greaterContinue reading “JESUS – HIS LOVE, OUR RESPONSE”

Musick-al note # 65                                   The term “doctrine” means “teaching” so what is the teaching of Christ Jesus?  Peter declared that Jesus was the prophet that Moses said God would send and all men were to hear him or be destroyed (Deuteronomy 18:18-19, Acts 3:20-23).  Jesus said he gave us the Word of GodContinue reading “JESUS – HIS DOCTRINE”

Musick-al note # 64       God gave Moses a prophetic view of the authority of Christ in the beginning of the Jewish Dispensation.  He said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 “I will raise up a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put my words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them allContinue reading “JESUS – HIS AUTHORITY”

Musick-al note # 63      Jesus announced his mission in the synagogue at Nazareth fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 61:1-2, they marveled at his words, however his own synagogue did not receive him and they sought to kill Him (Luke 4:18-29).  Jesus spoke of His mission in another way, “I have come to seek andContinue reading “JESUS – HIS MISSION AND OURS”

Musick-al note # 62       After his baptism (to fulfill all righteousness Matthew 3:15) Jesus was led into the wilderness where for forty days of fasting, he endured the temptations of Satan.  He was tempted to use his power to turn stone to bread (Luke 4:3), become a great king to rule over all theContinue reading “JESUS – HIS TEMPTATIONS”

Musick-al note # 61      Little is said in the Scriptures concerning Jesus’ early life as a baby or as he began to grow up. Mary kept remembering the words of the angel Gabriel who had spoken to her and how the angels had sung of His coming as related by the shepherds.  Luke statedContinue reading “JESUS – HIS EARLY LIFE”

Musick-al note # 60                                                           God taking on flesh (incarnate) – impossible!  Why would He do such anyway?  Jesus told a parable to explain (Matthew 21:33-37).  God had sent Godly men, prophets and messengers to gather His own.  All this failed so God sent His Son (vs 38-43), Jesus whom they crucified.  God, whoContinue reading “JESUS – THE INCARNATION”

Musick-al note # 59        He is coming!  Planned from the creation, prophecies that the Messiah was coming into the world had been given.  Genesis 3:15, “I will put enmity between her seed and your seed. He will bruise your head and you will bruise his heel”. While the Patriarchs ruled their families but sinContinue reading “JESUS ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS COMING”

Musick-al note # 58                                                       There many passages of Scripture that show that Jesus lived in eternity before the world began.  It is recorded in John 1:1-3, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things wereContinue reading “JESUS CHRIST – In the Beginning”
