Jesus is the true and better:

September 18, 2007

· Jesus is the true and better Adam who passed the test in the garden and whose obedience is imputed to us.
· Jesus is the true and better Abel who though innocently slain has blood that cries out not for our condemnation but for our acquittal.
· Jesus is the true and better Abraham who answered the call of God to leave all the comfortable and familiar and go into the void not knowing whither he went.
· Jesus is the true and better Isaac who was not just offered up by his father on the mount but was truly sacrificed for us all while God said to Abraham now I know you love me because you did not withhold your son, your only son, whom you love from me. Now we at the foot of the cross can say to God now we know that you love us because you did not withhold your son, your only son whom you love from me.
· Jesus is the true and better Jacob who wrestled and took the blow of justice we deserve so we like Jacob only receive the wounds of grace that wake us up and discipline us.
· Jesus is the true and better Joseph who is at the right hand of the king and forgives those who betrayed and sold him and uses his power to save them.
· Jesus is the true and better Moses who stands in the gap between the people and the lord and who mediates the new covenant.
· Jesus is the true and better Rock of Moses who struck with the rod of Gods justice now gives us water in the desert.
· Jesus is the true and better Job, He’s the truly innocent sufferer, who then intercedes for and saves his stupid friends.
· Jesus is the true and better David whose victory becomes his people’s victory though they never lifted a stone to accomplish it themselves.
· Jesus is the true and better Esther who didn’t just risk losing an earthly palace but lost the ultimate heavenly one and didn’t just risk his life but gave his life. Who didn’t just say if I perish ill perish but said when I perish ill perish for them, to save my people.
· Jesus is the true and better Jonah who was cast out into the storm so we could be brought in.
· Jesus is the real Passover Lamb.
· Jesus is the true Temple.
· Jesus is the true Prophet.
· Jesus is the true Priest.
· Jesus is the true King.
· Jesus is the true Sacrifice.
· Jesus is the true Lamb.
· Jesus is the true Life.
· Jesus is the true Bread.
So what is the point, the point is to show that the bible is not about you. It is all about Jesus.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to remind you that the Exodus study starts this Sunday, September 9. Make sure you read Genesis 12 before Sunday. This is going to be an exciting time for us, continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will teach us more and more about Jesus through this study. I hope to see all of you downtown on Friday night to preach the Glorious Gospel. I love you all.
