Pardon me, but this week I am going to have to rush by the Angel of the Lord meeting with Gideon, Joshua and others so that I might get us to two encounters with Jesus before Christmas. I will come back to these others in the New Year.
Strangely, the series we are working on presently is in fact a “Christmas” theme. We are considering who Jesus is eternally. We want to get more insight into His true identity. It is one thing to think about Jesus becoming a human baby. We celebrate this during Christmas. However, the more we get detailedknowledge about His life before He […]
Today I want to build on the last two posts. Two weeks ago, we reviewed Jesus’ statement in John 8:58 where He declares that He existed and was alive before Abraham was even born! (Wow, what a declaration!) Last week we looked at Jesus’ statement that He is the One who has been sending all […]

Before I get started I wanted to say “Hi” to everyone! Thanks to all of you who hit reply and send me an email from time letting me know you are getting something out of the emails! I read every note you send and appreciate the input and/or encouragement! Please also feel free to forward […]
Here is a more detailed linking of Jesus life before He was human through His incarnation (Philippians 2), through His life, through the Cross and back to Heaven to be by the Father’s side until the End of the Age.
