Jesus in Every Book of the Bible, Part X - Dr. Stephen W. Christian
Dr. Stephen W. Christian, Senior Pastor and Bishop, shares the the tenth installment of the message, “Jesus in Every Book of the Bible” on Sunday, March 22, 2009.
John 5:39 (New Living Translation)
You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!
Luke 24:44 (New Living Translation)
Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me by Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must all come true.”
A King, A Bronze Serpent lifted up, and A Rock in the Wilderness.
Numbers 20:1-10 (New Living Translation)
1. In early spring the people of Israel arrived in the wilderness of Zin and camped at Kadesh. While they were there, Miriam died and was buried.
2. There was no water for the people to drink at that place, so they rebelled against Moses and Aaron.
3. The people blamed Moses and said, “We wish we had died in the LORD’s presence with our brothers!
4. Did you bring the LORD’s people into this wilderness to die, along with all our livestock?
5. Why did you make us leave Egypt and bring us here to this terrible place? This land has no grain, figs, grapes, or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!”
6. Moses and Aaron turned away from the people and went to the entrance of the Tabernacle, where they fell face down on the ground. Then the glorious presence of the LORD appeared to them,
7. and the LORD said to Moses,
8. “You and Aaron must take the staff and assemble the entire community. As the people watch, command the rock over there to pour out its water. You will get enough water from the rock to satisfy all the people and their livestock.”
9. So Moses did as he was told. He took the staff from the place where it was kept before the LORD.
Then he and Aaron summoned the people to come and gather at the rock. “Listen, you rebels!” he shouted. “Must we bring you water from this rock?”
10. Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with the staff, and water gushed out. So all the people and their livestock drank their fill.
John 3:14
14. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so I, the Son of Man, must be lifted up on a pole
15. so that everyone who believes in me will have eternal life.
Numbers 24:17 (New Living Translation)
17. I see him, but not in the present time. I perceive him, but far in the distant future. A star will rise from Jacob; a scepter will emerge from Israel. It will crush the foreheads of Moab’s people, cracking the skulls of the people of Sheth.
1 Corinthians 15:24 (New Living Translation)
24. After that the end will come, when he will turn the Kingdom over to God the Father, having put down all enemies of every kind.
25. For Christ must reign until he humbles all his enemies beneath his feet
26. And the last enemy to be destroyed is death.
27. For the Scriptures say, “God has given him authority over all things.” (Of course, when it says “authority over all things,” it does not include God himself, who gave Christ his authority.)
28. Then, when he has conquered all things, the Son will present himself to God, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere.
