Verse of the Day: Luke 3:22
… the Holy Spirit descended on him [Jesus] in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” — Luke 3:22 Thoughts on Today’s Verse…. God spoke these wonderful words to his Son when Jesus was baptized. God feels the same about us when we follow our Savior’s example and are baptized, too! Jesus pours out his Spirit on us (Titus 3:4-7) guaranteeing that we are God’s children (cf. Ephesians 1:13-14). No matter what Satan may do to make us doubt it (cf. Luke 4:3), we can confidently know that we are God’s beloved children, with whom he is well pleased! Because of the Spirit, we can call God our Abba Father (Galatians 4:6) knowing that the Spirit intercedes for us making even our inexpressible thoughts known to our Father (Romans 8:26-27). My Prayer… Abba Father, I thank you for making me your child and making me an heir of your gracious inheritance. Please give me confidence to withstand the lies of Satan who tries to make me doubt my relationship with you. Thank you for your Spirit who helps even now by interceding for me as I pray. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Originally posted 2016-03-22 16:36:06.
Date published: 21-03-2016 Lee Strobel, bestselling author of “The Case for Christ”, is now celebrating his 34th Easter as a Christian. This, after spending his life prior to the book and his investigation into the reliability of Gospels as an atheist. After finding faith many years ago, he remains as convinced as ever in the truth of Jesus’s death and resurrection. While still an atheist, it was his background as a journalist that prompted Strobel to investigate and conduct extensive research into Christ with the help of religious and historical expert. He originally embarked on the project to discredit the veracity of Christ’s resurrection and dissuade his recently converted wife from life as a Christian, but in the end he was the one who was powerfully converted. “For nearly two years, I explored the minutia of the historical data on whether Easter was myth or reality. I didn’t merely accept the New Testament at face value; I was determined only to consider facts that were well-supported historically. As my investigation unfolded, my atheism began to buckle,” he recounted in an article for Stream. One of the first pieces of evidence he gathered was actually from atheist historian Gerd Lüdemann who declared Jesus’ death by crucifixion “indisputable.” This was supported by a thorough study by A. N. Sherwin-White of Oxford, who himself cited ancient eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ death. As more evidence piled up that built the timeline for the events surrounding Jesus’ death and resurrection, Strobel recounted scholar Willian Lane Craig’s position that it would be unlikely for the story of the empty tomb to explode with no basis since its location was known to all and could have been verified by supporters of the idea and naysayers alike. But even Jesus’ opponents said that the tomb was empty, saying that the body was taken, although there was none who had a clear motive for doing so. “We have nine ancient sources, inside and outside the New Testament, that confirm the apostles’ conviction that they encountered the resurrected Christ. Repeatedly, these sources stood strong when I tried to discredit them. Could these encounters have been hallucinations? No way, experts told me. Hallucinations occur in individual brains, like dreams, yet Jesus appeared to groups of people on three different occasions – including 500 at once!, ” Strobel said. In the end, Strobel, a man armed with logic,education and skepticism, was finally convinced by the overwhelming evidence laid out in front of him and he completely embraced the truth not because he was afraid of death or needed a psychological crutch but because of the facts. “I read books by skeptics, but their counter-arguments crumbled under the weight of the historical data. No wonder atheists so often come up short in scholarly debates over the resurrection. In the end, after I had thoroughly investigated the matter, I reached an unexpected conclusion: it would actually take more faith to maintain my atheism than to become a follower of Jesus,” he said.

Agreeing to disagree on the Second Coming of Jesus Christ
That the great divines (Bible Scholars) of the past have noted that one in twenty five verses in the New Testament have some engagement with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and associated themes, it should come as no surprise to anyone that this subject (Eschatology) would create some controversy. This has interested me over my 39 years in ministry, and when all the various theories of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ have been assessed, there are three essential ingredients to the discussion that should be considered foremost. First, the Scriptures are replete with a clear understanding that Jesus Christ will return. There will be a Second Coming of Jesus Christ. He rose from the dead and He is coming again. Moreover, it should come as no surprise, that this is recognised only by the followers of Christ. In other words, the vast majority of the world’s population is simply unaware that the Scriptures speak of this. Second, not all followers of Christ are as conversant with the Scriptures as others. There has been a limited number of Bible lovers over the centuries who have carefully studied the ‘like’ passages of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and have tried to bring some resolution to the subject. Thirdly, as these passionate ‘Second Coming of Jesus Christ’ Bible lovers have put their energies into this quest over the centuries, there have emerged two very broad schools of thought, and like most things of this nature, there are variations in each broad school. One of these two broad schools demonstrate a theology of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ that says, there will be a decisive time when history as we know will come to and end. It is instantaneously precipitated by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The other school The other broad school on the Second Coming of Jesus Christ demonstrates a theology that witnesses the end of the Church Age which leads into a final time period taking into account Scriptures that speak of ‘one taken, another left’, of such ‘tribulation’ the world has never thought possible, an ‘Armageddon’, armies of ‘two hundred million’, blood up to the ‘horses bridle’, and much more besides. In other words, the first group takes a view that the Bible’s descriptiveness of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ necessarily needs to be apocalyptic in order to even begin to fathom the unfathomable. The second group take a view that the Bible wasn’t written so no one could understand it, rather the very basis of the Reformation was that ordinary men and women could read and understand it. Moreover as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ takes such centre stage in the New Testament, any obscurity on such matters seems ludicrous. So, can there be a case for ‘agreeing to disagree’ on the theological outworking on the Second Coming of Jesus Christ or is there something more, some other ingredient, that might be taken into consideration in this matter? A central focus of Jesus’ teaching was the Kingdom of God. The central focus of the Apostle Paul’s and the Epistles teaching was the theology of the Cross, which helps us understand why we need to receive Christ as our Lord and becomes His followers. In other words, evangelism is a central focus. The great divines had no trouble in picking up this theme, and in my own life time, that where a descriptive expression of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is lucid and passionate, what follows for many individuals is an unmistakable desire to repent and become a follower of Jesus. In other words, when the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is preached in such manner, the Holy Spirit strangely prompts the hearts of the hearers. I have been a witness to this over my 64 years, as have innumerable others. When the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is preached in a clear and descriptive manner, so the Holy Spirit somehow is able to minister within many of the lives of the hearers. To this, I am a testimony and an eye witness Originally posted 2016-03-22 15:43:26.
