      19980628 Basic Biblical Beliefs - The Saving Work Of Christ - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

The book of John in the #Bible says that if all the works of #Jesus were written down that all the books in the world couldn’t contain them all.  But, what was His most important work of all?  Was Christ surprised by the cross?  What is atonement?  What did it have to do with the sacrifices offered in the Old Testament?  What are some other views of Jesus’ death on the cross expressed in the Bible?  What all does this saving work do in us?  The work on the cross was complete but then we were given confirmation with the resurrection.  What did we gain from that?  But, what is Jesus doing now?

      19860928 How To Cure Snakebite - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

#SnakeBite, why would you want to know this unless you had been #attacked?  This is not a message about handling #dangerous #snakes.  But, what if I told you that we have all been bitten by this one old rotten snake?  First, what are the symptoms?  Take the Israelites in the wilderness, what was so distasteful to God about their behavior?  How are we different today?  What’s God’s answer to their rebellion?  How about ours?  What is harder, following Christ or not following Him?  What is the law of sin and death?  So what is the cure for this fatal bite?  Back to the Israelites for a minute, why didn’t God answer their petition the way that they wanted?  How does the snake symbolism change in this story?  Is there more than one cure for snake bite?  This cure is simple and yet so many who are in danger of dying refuse it.

Today, we come to the very #LastWords of #Jesus on the cross.  But, thankfully they are not the last words Christ would speak on Earth.  What can these words teach us about how to live?  How to die?  What does this phrase have to do with a Hebrew bedtime prayer?  How does our relationship to God, the Father, affect our outlook on death?  How do we get a relationship with God (through Jesus Christ, His Son)?

      19840401 Word Of Completion - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

As important as #Jesus Christ’s work was on the #cross, why is it important that the story doesn’t end there?  What was the gravity of the statement ‘It is finished’?  How do we know from His choice of words that this is not an expression of victimhood?  Has there ever been another person on Earth who accomplished everything that they set out to do?  How did this pertain to the traditional order of the priesthood and the sacrificial system?

      19840318 Word Of Conquest - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

I don’t know how I missed it.  Somehow I got out of order on this series from Brother Tommy on the last words of #Jesus Christ.  Maybe I wanted to skip the darkest words he spoke from the cross.  But without these dark words, we cannot fully comprehend what was accomplished on that day.  Without these words could we truly grasp the suffering that Jesus faced by sacrificing Himself for us?  How does Jesus refer to God differently in this statement than so many other recorded times?  What does that tell us about the nature of God?

Who is your #Champion?  Is it #MichaelPhelps or #UsainBolt?  Maybe it is #Jesus, but is it the baby Jesus of #Christmas or maybe it is the risen Savior Jesus of #Easter?  But what was the purpose of God’s only Son coming to Earth in human form?  What mistake do we make when we focus too much on one moment in history?  Ironically, how tall was a traditional cross?  What statement did Christ make on the cross that shows He knows what we will all go through when we leave this plane?

      19840212 Word Of Confession - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Did #JesusChrist go around telling everybody that He was the Son of God? How do we know that He was the much anticipated #Savior of humanity? How did the cross, an instrument of torture, become a place of coronation?  What was the significance of the banner placed over Jesus’ head?  Who or what confessed to the divinity of Christ on the cross?  What was accomplished by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross?
