How Shall We Escape?

God has spoken through the ages by means of prophets and angels, but finally he sent Jesus - his only Son and God in the Flesh as the ultimate revelation. Since God's word has alwayJs come true and he has judged sinners according to his truth - how much more should we pay attention to what he has said through his ultimate revelation - Jesus Christ?

Jesus And The Angels

There are many popular myths about angels, but in scripture they are special servants of God. The carry special messages or fight in spiritual warfare or lead worship in God's throne room. Some look like men in white, others have six wings and four faces.

The author of Hebrews wanted to encourage his readers by telling them how great Jesus, their Savior, really is.  One way to do that is to point out how much he is superior to the angels.

Jesus The Divine Word

It has been a long time since Jesus ascended into heaven.  But what has he done for us lately?  Why should we continue to follow Jesus?  The human author of Hebrews launches into this with strong points that should prompt us to be more enthusiastic over what we have in Christ.

The End of The Beginning

The gospel of Mark starts with a bang and ends very abruptly.  What is his purpose in this sudden ending?  Not to tell us everything we might want to know, but to give us necessary information and to leave us with a certain impression about what happened at the tomb that Sunday morning.

Change The World

Do you want to change the world? What would you change?

How would you go about changing the world?

People try all kinds of things - writing, joining boycotts or street protests or even armed resistance. As Americans we are prejudiced toward action - we want to DO something that will make changes happen fast!

But Mark's account of Jesus on the cross seems very passive. He doesn't struggle. He doesn't argue. He simply submits and lets the situation unfold.

What does this tell us about Jesus view of changing the world?
