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 #7

Philippians - Profiles in Providence - Florida 2008

Christ won the victory. We rejoice because Christ has won the victory (Phi 4:4). His prize is manifest when the saints are translated and enemies subdued (Phi 3:20-21). Paul looks foward to standing before Christ to claim his inheritance (Phi 4:1-9). All believers are heirs; not many are joint heirs (Rom 8:17). Jesus pattern -- the work then the witness". "The Lord is at hand" (Phi 4:5) means that He is watching; He is with us. "Be anxious for nothing ... and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phi 4:6-7). "guard" means the mighty angels will surround us to guard our hearts. Someone is watching you; what do they see (Phi 4:8-9)?

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.
