The Old And New Testaments
February 21, 2018
The thing I love about the Old Testament is the thing I love about the New Testament. Both the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God. Don’t get the idea that the Old Testament has a different message from the New Testament. All of the Bible is about Jesus.
If you read the Bible and you don’t find Jesus, you better go reread it. Somebody may ask if you have read the four gospels. I’ve read all sixty-six! All sixty-six books in this Bible tell about the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, has the same villain. His name is Satan. It has the same hero. His name is Jesus. It has the same purpose—to present salvation that is found in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17).
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
