The Bible, a book about Jesus.

This post was liberated/pirated/borrowed/pilfered etc. from Joe and are the lyrics to a great song I had never heard, by artists I had never heard of.

Not long ago, I posted The Bible in 50 Words, which was a great little summary of the Bible in order of events. These lyrics though, remind me of who the Bible is all about, Jesus.

HE IS

In Genesis, He's the breath of Life
In Exodus, the passover Lamb
In Leviticus, He's our high priest
Numbers, the fire by night
Deuteronomy, He's Moses' voice
In Joshua, He is salvation's choice
Judges, Law giver
In Ruth, the kinsman redeemer

First and Second Samuel, our trusted prophet
In Kings and Chronicles, He's sovereign
Ezra, true and faithful scribe
Nehemiah, He's the rebuilder of broken walls and lives
In Esther, He's Mordecai's courage
In Job, the timeless redeemer
In Psalms, He is our morning song
In Proverbs, wisdom's cry
Ecclesiastes, the time and season
In the Song of Solomon, He is the lover's dream

He is, He is, He is

In Isaiah, He's Prince of Peace
Jeremiah, the weeping prophet
In Lamentations, the cry for Israel
Ezekiel, He's the call from sin
In Daniel, the stranger in the fire
In Hosea, He is forever faithful
In Joel, He's the Spirits power
In Amos, the arms that carry us

In Obadiah, He's the Lord our Savior
In Jonah, He's the great missionary
In Micah, the promise of peace
In Nahum, He is our strength and our shield
In Habakkuk and Zephaniah, He's pleading for revival
In Haggai, He restores a lost heritage
In Zechariah, our fountain
In Malachi, He is the son of righteousness rising with healing in His wings

He is, He is, He is

In Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
He is God, Man, Messiah
In the book of Acts, He is fire from heaven
In Romans, He's the grace of God
In Corinthians, the power of love
In Galatians, He is freedom from the curse of sin
Ephesians, our glorious treasure
Philippians, the servants heart

In Colossians, He's the Godhead trinity
Thessalonians, our coming King
In Timothy, Titus, Philemon He's our mediator and our faithful Pastor
In Hebrews, the everlasting covenant
In James, the one who heals the sick.
In First and Second Peter, he is our Shepherd
In John and in Jude, He is the lover coming for His bride
In the Revelation, He is King of Kings and the Lord of Lords

He is, He is, He is

The prince of peace
The Son of man
The Lamb of God
The great I Am
He's the alpha and omega
Our God and our Savior
He is Jesus Christ Lord and when time is no more

He is, He is.

Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, Creator and God, is in the Old Testament concealed, and is in the New Testament revealed.

Kyle MacDonald and his One Red Paperclip

Kyle Macdonald deserves a special mention for his excellence in 'Bigger or Better'. A game where you start with something small and through a series of 'up-trades' you try and see what you end up with.

Kyle started with One Red Paper Clip and ended up with a 3 bedroom House. It took 1 year and 14 trades but he still has a house now and he began with dream and a single, ordinary, red paperclip.
