Upon receipt of Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you become a son of God. What does that mean to us?
As Christian’s we really don’t enjoy the idea of chastisement. If I were to ask someone if they want to be more like Christ, it is an easy yes. However, if I were to tell you that one of the ways to become more like Him is through chastisement, all of the sudden it doesn’t sound so good. Perhaps we aren’t as good of Christians as we think ourselves to be.
This world is filled with death. According to the Bible in Adam we all die. Where can we find hope? Is there a source of life? The answer is found in Jesus Christ. Do you know Him?
In the Bible we find many references to transactions and covenants. In our passage we find one of those references and it is found in the usage of the word surety. Now we know that Christ was made a surety of a better testament, but what exactly does that mean?
Mark 8:22-26 gives the only Biblical record of the healing of the blind man of Bethsaida. It is also the only miracle in the life of Christ that is not immediate, for it takes two attempts in order to bring the man perfect sight. What can be the meaning of this?
