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.

In, but not of.

In but not of

We share identification with Christ, a separation from the world (Joh 17:11-19). This includes a challenge – Jesus was the message; He sent the disciples with Him. For the same purpose, we’ve been sent (Luk 19:10). Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world (Joh 18:36). When His will is done in our lives, we reflect of His Kingdom (Mat 6:10, Mat 6:33). We are citizens of heaven (Phi 3:20-21); God expects performance in accordance with privileges we’ve received (Rom 12:1-2); (1) Provision - "the Mercies of God"; (2) Decision - "present your body"; (3) Conclusion - "transformed by the renewing of your mind". We are ambassadors (2Co 5:14-15; 2Co 5:20). Put on Christ (Rom 13:9-14).
