The Gospel According to Isaiah

“The Evangelist of the Old Testament
Anticipates the Coming of the Savior”
Northern Virginia Bible Conference
April 1-3, 2016
 
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” ISA 61:1
Many scholars consider Isaiah to be the evangelist of the Old Testament. This year, the theme for the Northern Virginia BTBM Bible Conference was “The Gospel According to Isaiah.” Gene examined Isaiah’s rich prophecies given in the eighth century before the birth of Christ. There is an astounding array of passages that portray the virgin birth, the unique hypostatic union of God and man, the proclamation of John the Baptizer, and then the life of Jesus—His ministry and substitutionary death, followed by His resurrection and future glory.There are even find hints of the call and formation of the Church—the Body of Christ—and our own purpose in the story of the ages.
Jesus read the theme verse in the Synagogue in Nazareth (LUK 4:16-19) at the inauguration of His ministry.

Profiles in Providence #6

Philippians - Profiles in Providence - Florida 2008

Paul gave up righteousness by the Law -- acclaim from others (Phi 3:4-6, ). Humble attitude illustrated by Mephibosheth (2Sa 9:8, 1Pe 5:6). "That I may know Him" (Phi 3:10-11) "the power of His resurrection", "the fellowship of His sufferings" - Paul is saying, "I would rather suffer in the presence of Jesus Christ, than have all the wealth and comfort in the world". Paul talks of resurrection from deadness in his life (Phi 3:11-14) to fulfill hi apostleship -- there's a prize to be won -- an upward call. The race is against the flesh. Even in maturity Paul says he's not a finished product (Phi 3:15). Mature believer seeks to live by the mind of Christ (Phi 2:5) -- the attitude of Christ. Maturity recognizes ground gained can be lost. Mature believer must chose associations (Phi 3:17-18). The cross means death to self (Jam 4:4); an enemy of the cross runs on flesh. (Phi 3:19). Choices matter as we stand before Jesus at the Judgement Seat (1Jo 2:28). We look foward to our heavenly state (Phi 3:20-21, 1Jo 3:3).

Philippians 1:12 starts out "Now I want you to know brethren that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the Gospel". It's a key verse in the letter Paul wrote to those faithful believers while he was in chains.
