Reintroducing Jesus, Beyond Religion

Guest (Male): Feel the power. Welcome to Righteous Invasion of Truth with Dr. Abel Damina.

Dr. Abel Damina: Father, we praise and bless the name of Jesus. We thank you for the privilege of being alive, not just being alive, but alive in you enough to be able to know all that you have made available to us in your death, burial, and resurrection.

We rejoice that today we are seated together with you in the heavenlies. We have access into all the resources and all the treasures that are ours in Christ Jesus. We rejoice that the 30 Days of Glory conference begins this morning. We thank you that we look forward to an exciting time of 30 days of being built up, 30 days of being equipped, and 30 days of spiritual growth.

We rejoice that we will be laying hold on all our realities in Christ Jesus. I decree and I declare that as we begin this morning, the eyes of each one's understanding be flooded with light. In this building, online, on TV, on radio, around the world, in our house centers and campuses, everywhere in the blue marble planet, we declare that the minds and hearts of men be opened up to the truth of the gospel in the name of Jesus.

Veils fall off, darkness totally terminated, believers coming to their realities, ministers of the gospel equipped, believers raised into maturity. Lord, the lost are saved and brought into the light of Christ. We thank you, Lord, that religion is collapsing like a pack of cards, the reality of Christ taking over the earth as the water covers the sea.

We rejoice that we have access into the deep things of God by the Holy Ghost. Father, we rejoice and we thank you for all that we are going to enjoy and continue to enjoy in Christ Jesus. Thank you for your word that is fulfilled among us today. We give you praise that Jesus at the end of this service is glorified.

Lift your right hands to heaven. Let’s release our faith together as we say these words: I am born of God. I am born of the word. The word of God is my nature. I do not struggle to do the word. I do the word naturally. Therefore today, I will understand the word of his grace. I will be built up. By the end of this service, I will never be the same. Never, ever be the same again in Jesus’ name.

We want to welcome everybody connected to this service this morning by way of Kingdom Life Network, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, all our house centers and campuses all over the world. We're so glad to have everybody connected. Today is the first service of the 30 Days of Glory 2020. This is the 30th year of this ministry. We are celebrating 30 years of God's faithfulness and 30 years of the preaching of the gospel of the grace of God.

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. That means there are gifts in the body of Christ to the end that the saints are matured, equipped for the work of the ministry and edifying of the church.

The word "doctrine" was translated from the Greek word *didaskalia*, which refers to learning or teaching. Then there is another word, "reproof," profitable for reproof. The word "reproof" was translated from the Greek word *elenchos*, which implies persuasion by giving evidence. The scriptures are for evidence.

The goal of teaching is persuasion. It should be compelling by giving you overwhelming evidence from what is written. The word "correction," profitable for correction, was translated from the Greek word *epanorthosis*. It means to straighten up, to rectify. Where there is a seeming contradiction, the teaching of the scriptures will ratify that contradiction in your mind.

It helps to correct wrong impressions and poor understanding when given proper explanation. The essence of the teaching of God's word is to correct wrong impressions and help with poor understanding. That's why we're going to take time to properly explain the text of scripture within the course of the month.

The word "instruction," profitable for instruction, was translated from the Greek word *paideia*. It is the training of a child. In Hebrews chapter 12, verse 10 to 11, it says, "For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."

The word "chastening" there was translated from the Greek word *paideia*. That is the endpoint. The endpoint of teaching of salvation which is through faith in Christ Jesus is spiritual growth. Timothy was known to have grown not just in knowledge, but also in the ability to teach the same. It's not just enough to grow in knowledge. Beyond growing in knowledge, you must have the ability to teach the same.

In the course of these 30 Days of Glory, my prayer for you and counsel to you is don't just listen for your own personal consumption. Listen both for your personal consumption and with a sense of responsibility that you should be able to teach the same thing to others. That's the whole essence of spiritual growth, to be able to communicate the same truth to others. It's so you can become a teacher.

One of the characteristics of spiritual growth is that the believer becomes a master in teaching. This training from the scriptures will bring about spiritual growth. As you grow spiritually, you become a master in teaching the same things you have been taught. Brother Paul admonished Timothy in Second Timothy chapter 2, verse 2. He said, "The things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."

Faithful men are those who have learned enough to be able to commit the same to others. It's not just for you to learn and feel good. There is responsibility that comes with spiritual growth. "That the man of God may be perfect," in Second Timothy chapter 3, verse 17. The word "perfect" was translated from the Greek word *artios*, which implies complete. "Thoroughly furnished" was translated from the Greek word *exartizo*. It implies to be fully equipped.

Paul said all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine. He implied that the profitability of the scriptures is in the teaching or learning of salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus, which produces evidence, correction, and spiritual growth. The believer will be fully equipped and able to teach others also. However, when this knowledge is lacking or absent, such a believer will be unsettled in his mind and possibly get to the point of doubting his or her salvation.

Lack of knowledge makes a believer mentally agitated. It makes you unstable. Galatians chapter 1, verse 6 to 7 says, "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ." The word "removed" was translated from the Greek word *metatithesthai*, which implies to take away from a fixed position.

The word "trouble" was translated from the Greek word *tarasso*. It implies to unsettle a believer or to make you lose confidence. It means to create anxiety or to cause you panic. All of this will come when you are deficient in the knowledge of that salvation. When you are devoid of the profitability of scriptures, you come to a point where you are unsettled about salvation.

They create for you anxiety or panic. That is when you start seeing people praying, "Father, may I make it, may I not lose it. Father, at the end of the day, may we arrive there. When you come to collect your people, remember me, Oh Lord." All those are songs coming out of mental agitation. Those are songs coming from spiritual instability in the understanding of salvation. My prayer for you is to make heaven at last. The person has not come to a place of appreciation or a place of valuing what he has received by knowledge.

He is suffering from spiritual panic attacks and spiritual anxiety. Such believers in their minds are tossed to and fro and carried about. Ephesians chapter 4, verse 14 to 16 says, "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."

The word "children" there was translated from the Greek word *nepios*, which implies undeveloped or immature. When a believer is growing spiritually, he is stable in God's word in and out of season. Circumstances are working or not working, he is stable. He feels good, he doesn't feel good, it doesn't change his stability. Circumstances don't affect his resolve, conviction, and persuasion. He has arrived at a place of stability in and out of season. He is not a child; he has grown.

He has come to a place of maturity. His assurance is formed solely from the written word, all that God has done in Christ, not on experiences. His assurance is not formed because he had a vision or because of opinions or hearsay. Brother Paul began to explain in Ephesians chapter 4, verse 20, "But ye have not so learned Christ." Give me the next verse. "If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus."

It is the learning of Christ from the written word that makes the believer stable and assures him of his salvation. This is how the believer grows up into Christ in all things. Ephesians chapter 4, verse 15 says, "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ." This is the essence of these 30 Days of Glory, 30 days of back-to-back bombardment of the teaching of God's word.

The whole essence is to explain in details the subject of salvation from the scriptures and to clear any form of doubt that may arise from contradictions in the mind based on lack of diligent and proper interpretation of Bible text. It is also to assure you of the salvation which you have received in Christ Jesus so you can rest. You can rest and enjoy the adventure in Christ Jesus, not be agitated, not be tensed up, not suffer spiritual panic attacks, not be frustrated or desperate.

You arrive at a place of rest in your mind. When you arrive at that point, Christianity becomes sweet. That's when you understand the import of "my yoke is easy, my burden is light." When you arrive at that point where you begin to appreciate and value the salvation that you have in Christ, where you are stable and assured, Christianity becomes a place of rest. You are assured not by feelings, but by a deliberate, intentional understanding of the written word.

You are so assured because you have understood the intent of the scriptures where your salvation is concerned, such that even in a dream, if they wake you up and say, "What does this scripture mean?" you demystify it. When you arrive at that point, you can sing that song, "I'm at rest." Nothing unsettles me. Of the most complicated scriptures, I have understanding by knowledge of how to interpret them and I know what the intent of the author was when he wrote them.

From rest, you can bring others into rest. From the place of rest, you can also bring others into the rest that you have found in Christ Jesus. Hebrews chapter 2, verse 1 says, "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." If the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him?

This dispensation is referring to the law. Verse 2 is making reference to the law. The law was given by angels. Galatians chapter 3, verse 19 says the law was added because of transgressions until the seed should come to whom the promise was made, and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. If what was given by angels received a just recompence of reward, how shall we escape from that recompence if we neglect so great salvation?

Our escape from the law and its consequences is the salvation that Christ has brought. The angels brought the law. What Christ has brought is salvation, which means that there is no salvation in the law. Christ is the escape from the law, and that escape is called salvation. The law required works, that's why every transgression and every disobedience received a just recompence of reward. But what came from Christ does not require works. It's a gift of grace given to you in spite of you, irrespective of you.

It's a gift given to you unconditional that makes no demand on you, requires nothing from you. But what the angels gave required your contribution. You do, they do; you don't do, they don't do. That's why it has a just recompence of reward. He begins to talk about these two different dimensions to the Hebrew or the Jewish people. The one that requires works has great recompence of reward. How shall we escape from this recompence if we neglect so great salvation?

Salvation is the final point. This salvation that was given by Jesus is the final point, the height, the climax. The salvation given by Jesus is the climax of it all. Nothing is beyond salvation in Christ. If you are a Christian and you have not understood salvation, your Christianity still has a distance to travel because salvation in Christ is the endpoint and climax of all of your Christian experience.

If you neglect it, that is, if you leave behind so great salvation, what have you gained? In the previous series of 30 Days of Glory, we have established that salvation is the will of God for every man. Salvation is the will of God for every man that is born into this world. The Bible calls Jesus the light that lights every man that cometh into the world in John 1:9.

First Timothy chapter 2, verse 4 says, "Who will have all men to be saved, first, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." To be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth are two different things. You can be saved without the knowledge of the truth. But God will have you to be saved, and beyond just being saved, you come to the knowledge of that salvation. Very critical. It is that knowledge that assures your heart.

It is that knowledge that frees you from panic attack. It is that knowledge that secures you. It is that knowledge that helps you to enjoy the salvation that you have in Christ Jesus. Two things: to be saved, that is the will of God for all men, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. That word "knowledge of the truth" means to come into that progressive thing we call *epignosis*.

*Epignosis* means accurate, precise, exact knowledge or comprehensive insight into all that Christ has made available. And to come progressively into *epignosis*, the progressive acknowledgment of the truth. The truth about your salvation. It is the will of God for all men to be saved. It is the will of God for the unbeliever to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Ephesians chapter 4, verse 11 to 13 says he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

Take particular attention to the unity of the faith. Some people think the unity of the faith is for all churches to come together and form an association. It would not be a unity of faith. It has nothing to do with a collective decision. It is an individual decision everybody must take. Gradually each of us will come to that unity of the faith, which is the knowledge of the Son of God. That's the unity of faith, that you and I have arrived at seeing Jesus.

When we are all seeing Jesus, it is called the unity of faith, not an amalgamation of churches. It is the revelation of Jesus, which individual gradually arrives at. What brings the individual to that destination point is knowledge, the knowledge of the Son of God. The unity of the faith means oneness with the faith in your mind. You come into oneness with the faith in your mind, where you are growing spiritually and your thought pattern is one with the faith.

Philippians chapter 2, verse 5 says, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." It is talking about a fusion of your thinking pattern, where your thinking pattern fuses with the mind of the scriptures. He says, to the full knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the fullness of the stature that is in Christ. Look at verse 14 of Ephesians chapter 4. "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine."

Till we all come, he is talking about that knowledge of the truth, that progressive insight. It is not just soteria. I can guarantee you that most of the things you will hear me teach in these 30 days, it will appear like you never heard them before. A fresh understanding will dawn on you that will settle your heart further in the rest that you have in Christ.

It's a progressive, it's a gradual coming to the knowledge of the truth, progressive insight into what Christ has done. As we progress, we progress into that knowledge of the truth. You are saved, but there has to be a progression into that knowledge of the truth. Ephesians 4:12 says, "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."

Edify. When you begin to edify the body of Christ, that is when we know you are coming to the knowledge of the truth. That is the essence for this truth coming to you and all of the teachings and all of the labor we're going to be laboring for 30 days. We have seen in the course of this service that it is the will of God that all men be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

First Timothy chapter 2, verse 4 and 5, "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." The minute you try to teach any scriptural concept beyond the person of Christ, you will do what the Pharisees simply did. The person of Christ is the explanation of all things.

First Timothy chapter 2, verse 5 says there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. One God, one mediator between God and men, who is the mediator? The man. So who produced the mediator? Men. Men produced the mediator. There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man. Who supplied the mediator? Men or man.

The mediator came from man. Who gave men the capacity to produce the mediator? God. God gave men the capacity to produce the mediator. Man gave the mediator. The mediator between God and man is the man, Christ Jesus. It would be wrong to think like this: God, Jesus, and us. That's wrong. It is God and us in Christ Jesus. God and man in Christ Jesus.

Second Corinthians 5:19 says, "To wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself. It was in Christ that God reconciled man to himself. The minute God became a man, in the beginning was the word, the word was with God, the word was God, and the word became flesh.

The moment God became a man in Christ, that was the minute God in Christ effected that reconciliation. The fact that God can come as a man is the foundation for that reconciliation. The fact that God can come to man who is in sin as a man is the foundation for that reconciliation. That shows you the thought pattern, the idea, the will, and the purpose of God.

The concept of salvation will always be misread and misunderstood if you don't see it from the man Christ Jesus. As we go on in this series, we're going to look basically at how this comes into play. There are certain things about redemption that will stagger your mind when we get into those details. It would stagger the mind of any human being because the truth is it is so great salvation.

Jesus actually paid for man: spirit, soul, and body. That means everything that was man was involved in the salvation process. Everything God gave to man was involved in the salvation process, and that's what we're going to be dealing with in this series. Everything. That's why so many Christians do not understand the depth of salvation, because they do not see it as completed by Jesus.

Salvation is tied to what a man does and what a man doesn't do because they have not understood the depth of this salvation. We're going to go into some basics in the course of this series. To know anything precisely from the scriptures, you have to know it from the very substance of the scriptures. Luke 24:25, "Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?"

Beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. This was on the way to Emmaus. He met two disciples of his on the way to Emmaus. Remember Jesus spent all of his time with these disciples. Taught them, ate with them, sent them to preach, they saw miracles in his name, taught them many things by parables, slept with them, was with them.

He died and all of them forgot everything. Look at the way they reasoned. Luke 24:19 says, "And he said unto them, What things?" because they said to Jesus, "Are you a stranger in town? Are you not aware of the things that happened these past days?" And they said unto him concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people. Jesus, Elijah, and Jeremiah were in the same class.

They never knew who he was for all the time they were with him. Then you can imagine why some pastors don't even know who Jesus is. They preach business success, how to make it, relationship and adore, marriage antibiotics, how to survive COVID-19. But they don't know Christ. And it reflects in the members of such churches. When you engage their members, you will see the same vomit that their pastor has vomited into them.

The man you drink from, you can't be different from him. You are what you eat. When you start talking to them, you hear them say, "how to succeed, keys to success," because that's all. Out of the abundance of the heart, a man can't give what he doesn't have. Can you imagine? These guys have been with Jesus.

Dr. Damina, you say we shouldn't preach anything outside Christ. So how do we survive? You don't need Christ to survive. Any Christian that is still struggling to survive, even without Christ, you would have been a dummy. Naturally it means you are a dummy. If they remove Christ from the equation and they mix you with unbelievers, they will beat you hands down. It means on your own, you are a natural dummy.

You see Christ as an escape route to escape that dummyness. Christ is not the escape for dummyness. He is the escape from the law of Moses. How shall we escape the law of Moses if we neglect so great salvation which was brought to us by Jesus? What did Jesus bring to us? Salvation. That means outside salvation, on your own, you must study this world and know how to survive if Christ was not there because unbelievers without Christ are surviving it.

They are hard words, but they are the truth. That's why children that pray too much, for example, they fail. When you put all your study time to prayer, you will fail. Others are studying, you are there praying. How can you pass? There are rules that govern every system. Instead of prayer, if it's exam you're writing from an academic institution, read. Read well.

Read as if there is no prayer, so that when you pray, you pray as if there is no reading. It's important. No matter how much bottles of anointing oil they put on a biro for you to write exam, if you don't read, you will not only fail, you will carry the whole class on your head. See the way these guys are talking. Put that scripture again, verse 19.

"And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him." Verse 21, "But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel." That redemption there is not redemption from sin. What they are talking about is political power.

"Redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not."

Jesus said to them, "O fools, and slow of heart to believe." So you could see that the experiences, their experience of Jesus did not go beyond their understanding. It is one thing to have experiences, it's a different thing to have an understanding. Their experience couldn't go beyond their understanding of Jesus. They said women went to his grave and didn't see him and they still called him a prophet and felt he was a messenger.

That was a bar, a barrier on their soul. Jesus didn't come with "thus saith the Lord." He was the Lord speaking. All the prophets said "thus saith the Lord." Jesus didn't say "thus saith the Lord." He spoke the things concerning himself. The word "suffered," "ought not Christ to have suffered these things," has to do with allowing something. Suffered, something you permit.

What he meant is that the Christ allowed the suffering on himself. He allowed it. It was not forced on him. If you look at the death of Jesus very well, you will know that he allowed it. "Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?" John gave an account of Jesus's prayer in John chapter 17. "Glorify me with the glory that I had with thee before the world began."

The glory before the foundation of the world means the glory before time began. And before time began, it means in God. Nothing will be before time began other than God. The purpose and the plan of God, therefore, is that that glory he gave to man. Don't forget who produced the mediator. That glory he gave to man because that glory he meant before the foundation of the world.

Look at the way he puts it in verse 27, "beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded in all the scriptures," meaning he explained Genesis to Malachi, "the things concerning himself." We can conclude very clearly that the Bible is written, the entire Bible is written, in the light of redemption. The connection of one book to another will be the redemptive value of the things said.

The connection of one book in the Bible to another will be known by the value of redemption said in those scriptures. Of what redemptive value is this scripture? What does it point to in the work of redemption? Because all the scriptures teach about Christ, the things he allowed himself to suffer, and the glory that follows. The things he suffered and the glory he entered.

The scriptures are not a book about Moses, neither are they a book about Jeremiah. All the scriptures are concerning Christ and the things he suffered and the glorification of Christ. Look at Luke 24:41. "And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb."

He came to the disciples, after he rose from the dead, and he started teaching. He came to them later to prove to them that he was a human being. He proved to them that "before I died, I'm a human. When I died, I'm a human. I have risen from the dead, I'm still a human being. Give me food." They gave him boiled fish. He ate. Spirits don't eat food. But Jesus ate because he was still a man.

The mediator is a man. One mediator between God and man, the man. Not the ghost, the man Christ Jesus. This is after he rose. After he rose from the dead, he remained a man. Luke 24:43, "And he took it, and did eat before them." He didn't go to the bathroom to eat it. He ate before them so they know that this is a man.

"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me." This is the key. He said to them, when I was with you, all I said to you must be fulfilled. Everything. So carefully look at the next statement now because the next statement will unlock the scriptures. Verse 45.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. He opened their understanding. So the scriptures only have one understanding. The scriptures only have one understanding. And if you have that understanding, then Bible study is very clear. It has only one understanding. Notice the prophecy of Isaiah which Paul quoted. We have the mind of Christ.

The word "mind of Christ" means we have the understanding. Our understanding is in the light of Christ. He is saying the understanding we have because we are born of the spirit is Christ. Our understanding is Christ. He is saying that the understanding of the scriptures, the word "understanding" means "this is it," why it is. This is why it is. The scriptures are the scriptures because of Christ.

This is what defines the scriptures: Christ. Christ gives definition to the scriptures. So it brings everything from every dimension and sums it in Christ. So he says if you look all over the scriptures, you will see Christ. So he opened their understanding that they may understand the scriptures. Christ realities is no doctrine. Redemption is no doctrine.

Redemption through Jesus is the understanding of the scriptures. That is, anything taught, anything said, anything believed outside the person of Jesus is a misunderstanding. Many men have misunderstood the scriptures because they have not seen the scriptures in and through Christ. The minute someone begins to get academic and logical, he is likely to miss out because scriptures have one understanding.

That is why it was easy for Philip to know what to preach to the eunuch. "Understandest thou what thou readest? How can I except some man should guide me? Where are you reading? Isaiah 53. Ah, okay, sit down. If it's Isaiah 53 it must be Christ. Sit down." "Who does he speak about? Himself or some other man?" Beginning at the same scripture, he preached Christ.

Once you do not see the scriptures in the light of Christ, you are bound to misunderstand. Anybody arguing scripture, don't argue with them. The first thing to ask them is this: Do you believe that Jesus is God? Question number one. Question number two: If you believe that Jesus is God, do you believe that everything Jesus does is what God does and everything Jesus does not do is what God does not do?

If they say yes, there'll be no argument. Every argument is because they are still in doubt as to the fact that Jesus is God. They still believe that Jesus is like Moses and Joshua. It is Jesus' word against Moses' and Joshua's word, and we can look at all of them and see who has a more weightier demonstration. They still think that it is Jesus against Moses, and Moses did more miracles than Jesus.

Automatically what Moses says should weigh more than what Jesus said. So they are still debating, they are still struggling to accept that Jesus is God. Otherwise, everything anybody said should be subjected to what Jesus said and did. Whatever Jesus said and did was what God was saying and doing. Hence, whatever Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah said has to be subjected whether it agrees with what Jesus said and did or not, and if it doesn't, trashed.

Whatever Jesus said and did has superiority over the witness of the prophets. Why? They testified of him and he has a right to correct anything they must have said that contradicted who he was since they said it without seeing him. Because whatever they said, they didn't see him to say it. It came by the impressions and the visions they saw, so there could have been a misinterpretation of a concept.

Jesus now came physically by himself to now put everything in perspective. So anybody that is still struggling to accept the superiority of Jesus as the content, the context of the scriptures has still a long way to travel in his journey of understanding God. Jesus is God. He defines all of God, and the scriptures are written in the light of Christ.

The scriptures are written in the light of Christ. It has one understanding. Any subject you read in the Bible has only one understanding: eschatology, pneumatology, Christology, angelology, bibliology, theology, any subject, soteriology, which is what we're dealing with now. All of them have their credibility on the fact that it is Christ that unveils those subjects.

Once any subject of scripture is approached outside of Christ, you will end up in the bush somewhere near Gaza or Israel or Lebanon or Dubai or Abu Dhabi. You will land in one of those deserts there. Christ is the explanation of all things. Are you blessed this morning? I'm rounding up now. Glory. Look 24:46, "And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day."

First thing he said is to enter into his glory, but here he now expounds it. That repentance, verse 47, and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Repentance and remission of sins will be preached among all nations. He gives us an insight into the glory of Christ. Repentance and remission of sins will be preached, that's the glory.

Repentance and remission of sins will be preached in his name, and that is a further insight into his glory. A man must see the Christocentricity of the Bible. You must, because it is the Christocentricity of the Bible that is a link of all the ages. That is the link through all the ages.
