THE BIBLE
THE BOOK FOR TODAY

There is one person who contin-
ues to come into focus in the
Old Testament—Jesus Christ. It)
is amazing how many times, for
example Gen. 3:15—the seed
of the woman. That is rather
unusual, and yet understanda-
ble if one is familiar with Isaiah
7:14 “Behold, a virgin will con-
ceive and bear a son”. Yes a
son—not a daughter—. Then a
quick look at Luke 1:27 - a virgin
espoused to a man—of the
house of David”. The virgins
name was Mary (verse 30)
Fear not Mary, for thou hast
found favour with God, thou
shalt bring forth a Son—the
Lord God shall give unto him the
throne of his father David—of
his kingdom there shall be no
end”. These three scriptures
combine to present the truth
about Jesus, regarding the term
“son of man”.
In this same text in Luke 1-35, it
is also stated by the angel,|
because of the power of God
that should overshadow her, the
holy thing that should be born of
her would be called “the son of
God”. This could never be
applied to any other than Jesus
our Lord. In following the refer-
ence to the “seed of the woman”
and the virgin birth, we find that
the word “seed” comes up
again in Gen. 22:18 “In thy seed
(Abraham) all the families of the
earth shall be blessed”. This is
an amazing covenant that could
only point forward to the pur-
pose of Jesus. He was the
anointed of God from the lin-
eage of Abraham, to bring a
blessing to all nations. Isaiah
9:6 contributes an outstanding
revalation “Unto us a son is
given, and the government shall
be upon his shoulder——of the
increase of his government and
peace there shall be no end,
upon thethrone of David”. It is
wonderful how the Bible is so
consistant. 2 Samuel 7 verse
12, God speaking to David says,
“| will set up thy seed after thee—
| will establilsh his kingdom—I
will be his father and he shall be
my son. These verses again are
forceful in presenting the impor-
tance of the covenant made to
Abraham and to David, embrac-
ing Jesus, and making him the
Son of God. Truly, the son of
God, through whom all families
of the earth can and will be
blessed. For Abraham, and us,
this covenant would be mean-
_ingless if he was not insured a
resurrection from the dead. The
subject: “THE RESURREGC-
TION IS A GUARANTEE: will
be a Bible subject discussed on:
Jan. 28, at 7 p.m. at the Moose’
Hall 7925 E. Saanich Rd. The
Christadelphians give you a
warm welcome.

Her voice has matured since her
