Revelations for a New Era: A Matthew Book With Suzanne Ward

Product Information

The miracle stories in Mark do not demonstrate the divinity of Jesus, but rather confirm his status as an emissary of God (which was Mark's understanding of the Messiah).

John, by contrast, puts the Temple incident very early in Jesus's ministry, has several trips to Jerusalem, and puts the crucifixion immediately before the Passover holiday, on the day when the lambs for the Passover meal were being sacrificed in Temple. The gospel reflects the struggles and conflicts between the evangelist's community and the other Jews, particularly with its sharp criticism of the scribes and Pharisees [6] with the position that through their rejection of Christ, the Kingdom of God has been taken away from them and given instead to the church. Anybody who sticks with the book to the end and takes my advice seriously will, I’m convinced, end up in a stronger Christian place as a result.No tsunami as predicted; don’t lapse into fear; importance of discernment; frenetic energy when dark lies revealed; indictments coming; Moussaoi trial; “hooker-gate”; loyal CIA vs.

As Son of God, God is revealing himself through his son, and Jesus proving his sonship through his obedience and example.
