A Righte Merrie Christmasse: The Story of Christ-Tide by John Ashton Pdf
The day on which Jesus Christ died is plainly distinguishable, but the day of His birth is open to very much question, and, literally, is only conjectural; so that the 25th December must be taken purely as the day on which His birth is celebrated, and not as His absolute natal day. In this matter we can only follow the traditions of the Church, and tradition alone has little value. In the second and early third centuries of our æra, we only know that the festivals, other than Sundays and days set apart for the remembrance of particular martyrs, were the Passover, Pentecost, and the Epiphany, the baptism or manifestation of our Lord, when came "a voice from Heaven saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." This seems always to have been fixed for the 6th of January, and with it was incorporated the commemoration of His birth. Titus Flavius Clemens, generally known as Clemens of Alexandria, lived exactly at this time, and was a contemporary of Origen. He speaks plainly on the subject, and shows the uncertainty, even at that early epoch of Christianity, of fixing the date: "There are those who, with an over-busy curiosity, attempt to fix not only the year, but the date of our Saviour's birth, who, they say, was born in the twenty-eighth year of Augustus, on the 25th of the month Pachon," i.e. the 20th of May. And in another place he says: "Some say that He was born on the 24th or 25th of the month Pharmuthi," which would be the 19th or 20th of April.
I believe and I am sure that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God. I know that he is coming back again to receive us unto himself, but he wants you to be a part of his family. So then, if you believe in the Bible... this book is for you, if you believe in Jesus... this book is for you, if you want to be a part of his family... this book is for you, if the call of God is on your life... this book is for you, and if you want eternal life... this book is for you. I pen these words by the leading of the Holy Spirit who dwells within me. I would encourage you to read and determine whether or not this is of God or just vain imagination and I pray that you will be able to understand this mystery. If you wish or you are led to send a review, an encouraging word or a testimony you can send it to e-mail: [email protected], which is short for: • Genesis 22:12 which states, "And he said, 'Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son thine only son from me.'" (This is an indication of how we are to serve God... wholeheartedly) • Revelation 22:12 which states, "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give everyman according as his work shall be." (And this is the promise of sure reward for such wholehearted service). • At God's mail. Come! (This tells of the message sent from God to the sinful world and the invitation given for man to repent and be a part of his kingdom because the end of all things is at hand). I hope that these words will bless your heart and will cause you to glorify his name. Amen.

Almost the whole of the New Testament is devoted, not to the portrayal of the significant and inspiring religious life of Jesus, but to a discussion of Paul’s religious experience and to a portrayal of his personal religious convictions. The New Testament is a superb Christian document, but it is only meagerly Jesusonian. One of the most important things in human living is to find out what Jesus believed, to discover his ideals.
Through the eyes of a modern medical missionary, who observes and notes everything from Christ's bedside manner to his diagnostic expertise, readers can understand Jesus in ways they have never considered Him before. Readers can experience the tension, risks, and awesome wonder of what God accomplishes in the midst of brokenness and seemingly impossible circumstances.
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ by David L. Toney Pdf
While the turn of the century has seen a number of secular sources proclaiming the end of the worldsuch as Y2K or the end of the Mayan calendaronly to see these events come and go, there persists yet another source that still accurately foretells the events and phenomena we see play out on the worlds scene. Instead of focusing on fleeting signs and events, the Bible shows us how a growing tide of global conflict, human suffering, and natural disasters points toward a powerful truth: we are living in the end times. In The Second Coming of Jesus Christ: An Analysis of End Time Bible Prophecy, author David L. Toney explores how contemporary events not only parallel but also signify the fulfilment of Bible prophecies throughout both the Old and New Testaments. From the return of the Jews to Israel as foretold in Ezekiel, to the rise of the Antichrist as anticipated in Revelation, discover prophecies and the modern-day events related to the end of the six-thousand-year reign of humanity, the stirrings of World War III, and the appearance of catastrophic natural phenomena. That we are living in the end times is good news for good people and bad news for bad people, and the most important event prophesied to take place in these latter yearsthe second coming of Jesus Christwill soon take place.

The calendar dates, which are plainly documented in this book, are the exact dates that Jesus of Nazareth lived in the flesh, and performed his life and ministry upon the earth for the redemption of mankind. The dates are based on the dates of the Mosaic calendar of the Old Testament, the time prophecies of the Book of Daniel, and the narrative of the New Testament, which Jesus fulfilled during his life and ministry. This book, Jesus in Time, reveals the true and exact calendar dates of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ on our present-day Gregorian calendar. It reveals the true dates of his conception, birth, circumcision, presentation, baptism, transfiguration, last supper, gethsemane, crucifixion, entombment, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven on our Gregorian calendar. This book is composed of four parts, each of which are necessary and that complement each other. Part I deciphers the Mosaic calendar of the Old Testament. Part II reveals the hidden meaning of the time prophecies of the Book of Daniel. Part III presents the exact dates of Jesus life and ministry. Part IV bears witness to the restoration of the church of Jesus Christ in the latter-days. The knowledge of the exact dates of Jesus' life in the flesh simply serves to document his life in our human history. I sincerely hope that this knowledge will be a great blessing to all Christendom, and to all the world of mankind. May we finally know the true calendar dates of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the scriptures on which they are based, and the truth to which they bear witness.
In How Jesus Became Christian, Barrie Wilson asks "How did a young rabbi become the god of a religion he wouldn’t recognize, one which was established through the use of calculated anti-Semitism?" Colourfully recreating the world of Jesus Christ, Wilson brings the answer to life by looking at the rivalry between the "Jesus movement," informed by the teachings of Matthew and adhering to Torah worship, and the "Christ movement," headed by Paul, which shunned Torah. Wilson suggests that Paul’s movement was not rooted in the teachings and sayings of the historical Jesus, but solely in Paul’s mystical vision of Christ, a man Paul actually never met. He then shows how Paul established the new religion through anti-Semitic propaganda, which ultimately crushed the Jesus Movement. Sure to be controversial, this is an exciting, well-written popular religious history that cuts to the heart of the differences between Christianity and Judaism, to the origins of one of the world’s great religions and, ultimately, to the question of who Jesus Christ really was – a Jew or a Christian.
In the hearts of all mankind, of whatever race or station in life, there -. are inexpressible longings for something they do not now possess. This longing is implanted in the very constitution of man by a merciful God, that man may not be satisfied with his present conditions or attainments, whether bad, or good, or better. God desires that the human shallseek the best, and find it to the eternal blessing of his soul. Satan, by wily scheme and craft, has perverted these longings of the human heart. He makes men believe that this desire may be satisfied by pleasure, by wealth, by-ease, by fame, by power; but those who have been thus deceived by him (and they number myriads) find all these things pall upon the sense, leaving the soul as barren and unsatisfied as before. It is God's design that this longing of the human heart should lead to the One, who alone is able to satisfy it. The desire is of Him that it may lead to Him, the fullness and fulfillment of that desire. That fullness is found in Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Eternal God. "Forit was the good pleasure of the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell;" "for in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." And it is also true that "in Him ye are made full" with respect to every desire divinely implanted and normally followed. Haggai calls Him "the Desire of all nations," and we may well call Him "the Desire of all ages," even as He is "the King of ages." It is the purpose of this book to set forth Jesus Christ as the One in whom every longing may be satisfied. There is many a "Life of Christ" written, excellent, books, large funds of information, elaborate 'essays on chronology and contemporaneous history, customs, and events, with much of the teaching and many glimpses of the many-sided life of Jesus of Nazareth. Yet it may be truly.said, "The half has never been told." It is not, however, the purpose of this work to set forth a harmony of the Gospels, or even to give in stricdy chronological order the important events and wonderful Iessons of the life of Christ; its purpose is to present the love of God as revealed in His Son, the divine beauty of life of Christ, of which a1l may partake,and not to satisfy the desires of the .merely curious nor the questionings of critics. But even as . the attraetl.on of His own goodness of character Jesus drew His disciples unto himself, and his personal presence by His sympathetic touch and feeling in all their infirmities and needs, and by his constantassocaition, transformed their characters from the erathly to the heavenly, from the selfish to the sacrificing, from the small hearted ignorance and prejudice to largehearted knowledge and profound love for soulsof all nations and races, even so it is the purpose of this book so to presentthe blessed Redeemer as to helpthe readerto come to Him face to face, herat to heart, and find in Him even as did the diciples of old, Jesus the Mighty One, who saves "ot the uttermost," and transforms to HIs own divine image all of those who come unto God by Him. Yet how impossibleit is to revealHis life! It is like attemptingto putupos canvas the livingrainbow; into charaters of black and white the sweetest music.
