Modern Day Magi

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14............. Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. - Acts 17:11

Hiatus

Life is too busy at the moment for me to be posting here.

My final Prac is looming, I have 8000+ words of assignments due in the next two weeks, I have a 3 year old son and a 1 year old daughter and a wife who is also a full time student.

I hope to be back once that is settled, but who knows.

I'll leave with two snippets to tide any one who comes by over.

The Bible in 50 words:

God made;
Adam bit;
Noah Arked;
Abraham split;
Jacob fooled;
Joseph ruled;
Bush talked;
Moses balked;
Pharoh plagued;
People wlaked;
Sea divided;
Tablets guided;
Promise landed;
Saul freaked;
David peaked;
Prophets warned;
Jesus born;
God walked;
Love talked;
Anger crucified;
Hope died;
Love rose;
Spirit flamed;
Word spread;
God remained.

What (or rather who) the Bible is all about:

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;

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;

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;

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.

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

    Well, we all have those times when we must step away.

    I pray, however, that your absence is not too lengthy.

    I loved the first of those two snipets, but the second is far and away my favorite of all time.

    How we need to realize tht every word from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 is all about Jesus.

    Modern day magi;
    Excellent post!
    I love it, because it’s all about Jesus, from Genesis to Revelation, from the beginning to the end. What a wonderful God and Savior Jesus Christ who is above every name, power and dominion forever and ever.

    Fantastic! Great, great stuff, especially the second poem. Amen to what both Joe and Paul G wrote.
