One of the greatest typologies in The Bible of Jesus is The Passover Lamb. When John saw Jesus, he said, “behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world;” [Jn 1:29, 36] and Paul writes, “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” [1 Cor 5:7] Just as God told Israel to, …

Our Indescribable Pardon
"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will trample under foot our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all …
A Godly and Christ-like Attitude
When Christ cried out from the cross, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which is, being interpreted, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me,” [Mk 15:34] it was not the first time in history those words were heard. Long before Jesus came from heaven to earth, this sentence was prophesied. The Spirit speaks through David …
Drawing Near Without Fear
"And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?" [2 Sam 6:9] In Numbers, The LORD instructed the Israelites to “put in the staves” of the Ark “when[ever] the camp setteth forward” in order to transport it. [Num 4:5-12] This was no accident; …
The Longsuffering & Faith of Christ
"But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him."

Part 2: The Empty Cup
"What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord." [Psa 116:12-13] Today, we will look again at the above passage: there is still yet one beautiful jewel for us to dig from out of this verse, …
Part 1: Gloriously and Wonderfully Free
"What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord." [Psa 116:12-13] If we were to take a moment and ponder what Jesus has done for us, if we were to be still and “muse on the …
The Deep & Endless Knowledge of The Cross
"The LORD is known by the judgment which He executeth…" [Psa 9:16a] In the gospel of John, we are told of Jesus, “and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” [Jn 17:3] Through Jesus’ words, we come to learn that eternal life …
The Peace, Relief, and Light of Christ’s Work
"There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me…My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it …

The King Shall Prevail
"Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Then said Jesus unto Peter, ‘Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?’" [Jn 18:10-11] Hundreds of years …
