Dr. J. Vernon McGee

An Old Portrait of Christ

March 6, 2022

Picture albums are great for capturing moments in time that tell a story or reveal the personality of a person. God has His own picture album—it’s the Old Testament. In it, He reveals the person and work of Christ long before He came to this earth in human form.

References: Leviticus 1:1-10

Galatians Bible Companion
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Scripture reveals the undeniable truth that Jesus died on the cross; no student of the Bible could disagree with this fact. The problem comes to a head when the question is raised, “Why did Jesus die?” It is at this point that men have departed.

One of the first things, if not the very first thing, our Lord did when He began His public ministry was to choose certain men. Why them? How did He call them? Hear the answers to these questions as Dr. McGee reminds us that God's still calling men and women to service and salvation today. Is He calling you?

Join Jesus as he visits the home of a rather rude and openly hostile Pharisee for dinner. Together we'll watch what happens when a prostitute shows up to see Jesus and how He adeptly turns the tables away from her scandal and focuses instead on the equally important, but more subtle, sin of the Pharisee.

In the days that John the Baptist was preaching in the wilderness, many repented of their sins and were baptized by John. During this time Jesus was also baptized—but why, if He was without sin?

The divorce rate in our country still continues to rise at an alarming rate. But is all divorce wrong? And is it really the problem or just a symptom of something else that is wrong?

The Pharisees, the Herodians, the Sadducees, and the Scribes are ready to launch a final verbal assault on Jesus. Their weapon of choice? The most dangerous weapon known to man: Flattery. Travel the pages of Matthew 22 and hear how Jesus' answer is just important to each one of us today as it was to those who asked it.

Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” This question revealed some wild and weird speculations by the multitudes who had witnessed the words and works of Jesus.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
