We begin our journey and exploration of scripture, in a feeble attempt to draw out various allegories and typologies of the gospel, in Genesis. Those truths and glories, which have been carefully and wisely carved into Israel’s history by God The Father, and which have been thoughtfully brought to man’s remembrance and pen by The …

The Faithful Attitude of Our Righteous King of Glory
"I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee." [Psa 22:22] When Jesus said truthfully upon the cross, “my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring,” [Psa 22:1] what was …

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought not equality with God a prize to be grasped: but emptied Himself, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as …

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought not equality with God a prize to be grasped: but emptied Himself, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as …
Preface: That Ye May Be Saved
This short book’s purpose is to explain the simple gospel, “the simplicity, [which is] in Christ.” [2 Cor 11:3] To bring to the reader an understanding of that simple gospel which provokes childlike faith, (of which Jesus said, “except you are converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of …
Today is the Day of Salvation
Paul once wrote to the Corinthians, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” [2 Cor 11:3] The gospel is to be as Paul also says we should live: “in simplicity and godly sincerity, not …

The Deep, Boundless Love of Jesus
Thus far we have not only learned of man’s natural condition and deserved punishment, but also how God has sent a solution to our doleful problem – a Savior, Jesus Christ God’s Son. It has been revealed through scripture that Jesus was made into a sacrifice for our sins; that for each of us individually, …
The Spiritual Sufferings of Christ
Though the physical torments of Jesus’ sacrifice are clearly seen, and can be looked at with a degree of biological certainty, His spiritual sufferings are not so. There are pictures in The Bible, which we shall observe, metaphors based on actual happenings, which can offer some way of comparison: but much like the internal afflictions …
The Physical Sufferings of Christ
In Galatians we read, “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” [Gal 4:4-5] God’s sending forth of His Son Jesus to earth was by …
