Wir können Ihn nicht kennen, wenn wir nicht erkennen, dass Er Realität ist. Der Bericht von der Geburt Jesu ist keine Legende. Maria und Joseph waren wirkliche Menschen. Ihr Dilemma des Raummangels in der Herberge war für sie eine große Not und so legten sie das Jesuskind in eine Krippe. Diese erste Weihnacht war weit entfernt von dem, was wir uns normalerweise als niedliche Weihnachtsszene ausmalen.

Will Christ's mediation ever end? This question is often misunderstood. In Without a Mediator?, Michael Richards explores the idea that there will be a time when believers must stand without Christ as their mediator. He clarifies that while Christ is our only mediator and essential for reconciling us with God due to the separation caused by sin, His mediatorial role will eventually conclude. However, Richards emphasises that Christ’s presence and love will always remain with us.

Using an historical-theological approach supplemented by exegesis, Letham develops a biblically faithful Christology of the Son's deity, humanity, and incarnation, while examining major Christological heresies and creedal responses to them.

God Reached Down from Heaven with the Best Gift of All A sacred season is about to unfold for three women whose hearts belong to God. Elizabeth is barren, yet her trust in God remains fertile. Mary is betrothed in marriage, yet she is willing to bear God’s Son. Anna is a widow full of years...

Do you ever wonder if Jesus really claimed to be God? Maybe you've heard people say, "Jesus never said he was God," or you've been asked, "Why believe Jesus is divine if he never claimed it?" These challenges aren't just from non-Christians―they show up in church, too. Even if you're not coming from a place of skepticism, you might still question how well church teachings about Jesus match up with what he actually said. So, did the historical Jesus really claim to be divine?

The doctrine of Christ's ascension is often overlooked in the church today, yet it holds profound significance for Christian theology and the Christian life. The Glory of the Ascension by theologian Ross Hastings invites listeners to rediscover this essential truth.

Pese al tiempo transcurrido desde que sucedió, el proceso a Jesús de Nazaret mantiene su plena actualidad. El trágico final en la Cruz de un profeta judío en torno al año 30 d.C., contra toda apariencia, supuso un nuevo comienzo de la historia de la humanidad y el inicio de unas formas religiosas y culturales que llegan hasta nuestros días. En este libro se examinan desde una perspectiva de alta divulgación los acontecimientos políticos, religiosos y jurídicos en los que se materializó el rechazo de la sociedad de su tiempo a Jesús.

Penal substitutionary atonement—the belief that Jesus’s death on the cross satisfied God’s wrath against sin—is central to the Christian faith, but frequently debated. Is it just to punish an innocent person in place of the guilty? How can the temporary death of one substitute for the eternal death of many? Why doesn’t the cross grant Christians unlimited permission to sin? In this famous essay, late theologian J. I. Packer analyzes Scripture and the works of early Reformers to defend the truth of Christ’s substitutionary suffering and death, the heart of the Christian gospel.

Separating fact from fiction, Professor Le Donne places Jesus within the context of first-century Judaism, and explores the debate about his status as 'Son of God' among the early Christians. He then follows his legacy through medieval Europe, and compares the various cultural Jesuses in enlightenment and post-enlightenment thought.

Reading Reading the Old Testament can seem like exploring an old, mysterious mansion, packed with of all sorts of strange rooms. What does this odd and ancient world have to do with us, who are modern followers of Jesus? As it turns out, everything! Every chapter in the Old Testament, in a variety of ways, tells the story that culminates in Jesus the Messiah. What Christians today call the Old Testament is what Jesus and the earliest believers simply called the Scriptures.

From the very beginning, the Lord's Supper has stood at the heart of Christian worship. If Jesus lives in us, and the Holy Spirit is poured out on us, why do we need to eat bread and drink grape juice or wine? Does it really matter? It does matter—and it's life-changing, says leading Pentecostal theologian Jonathan Black. With warmth and depth, he explores not only how the table is still a powerful place of transformation and encounter with Jesus, but also how we can experience Christ's promise of presence, glory, healing, forgiveness, victory, and intimacy.

From the worldwide phenomenon of The Da Vinci Code to the national bestseller Misquoting Jesus, popular culture is being bombarded with radical skepticism about the uniqueness of Christ and the reliability of the New Testament. Reinventing Jesus cuts through the rhetoric of extreme doubt expressed by these and several other contemporary voices to reveal the profound credibility of historic Christianity.

La divinité du Seigneur Jésus-Christ est un principe essentiel—et non négociable—de la foi chrétienne. Il y a de cela très longtemps, Jésus a posé cette question à ses disciples : « Et vous, qui dites-vous que je suis ? » Voilà une question vitale à laquelle nous devons tous répondre. Heureusement, la Parole de Dieu nous éclaire sur l’identité de Jésus-Christ et apporte une réponse définitive à cette question. Dans ce livre, le pasteur et théologien John MacArthur présente une défense biblique de la divinité de Christ, la pierre angulaire de la doctrine chrétienne.

Rev. Richard D. Phillips digs into the early chapters of the Gospel of John to discover principles you can use for Christian outreach that were modeled by witnesses for Jesus and by Jesus Himself. Phillips unfolds biblical principles for evangelism by examining the ministry of John the Baptist and the calling of the first of Jesus’ disciples. Then, through a brief study of the Lord’s encounter with the Pharisee Nicodemus, he presents us with a theology of the gospel. Finally, he focuses in on Jesus' stirring encounter with the Samaritan woman to show exactly how Christ shared the good news.

Mozliwe, ze jestes zly na Boga albo obecnie w niego nie wierzysz. A moze wierzysz w Boga, ale zostales zraniony. Moze jestes muzulmaninem, wyznawca hinduizmu, buddysta lub innego wyznania. Byc moze jestes w zupelnie innym miejscu, którego nawet ty nie potrafisz okreslic... Niezaleznie od tego, przyjacielu, jak sie czujesz i gdzie jestes, Bóg Biblii - od pierwszej do ostatniej ksiegi - zaprasza cie, a nawet "prosi", bys zapytal: "Kim jest Jezus?"

Die wichtigsten Fragen, die sich jeder Mensch stellen kann, sind: Warum wurde Jesus Christus gekreuzigt? Warum musste er so viel leiden? Was hat das mit mir zu tun? Und wer schickte ihn letztendlich in den Tod? Jesu Leiden war ohnegleichen. Doch warum musste Christus leiden und sterben? Bei Jesu Tod geht es nicht um die Frage nach der Ursache, sondern um den Sinn - Gottes Sinn. John Piper hat aus dem Neuen Testament 50 Gründe gesammelt.

A leitura individualista e fragmentada do texto bíblico tem impedido aos cristãos uma compreensão mais abrangente de sua fé e de seu papel como cidadãos do reino. Além disso, reduzir a experiência religiosa a um mero carimbo no passaporte para o céu desvia o foco do fato de que o interesse de Deus não se resume apenas ao indivíduo, mas abrange toda a criação. Nesse sentido, Bernardo Cho convida o leitor e a leitora a refletirem sobre o todo das Escrituras, a fim de perceberem a unidade presente no enredo da salvação.

This book is an approach to Jesus's recorded words and teachings through his native language, Aramaic, answering many questions clearly and consistently, even if unexpectedly, no matter which Gospel you have in your hands.
