Continuing our study on prayer using the lessons from the book Transforming Prayer by Daniel Henderson we begin to learn how to practically use what we have learned through our study. We write a prayer together based on what we learn from Psalm 46.
Without doubt the Resurrection of Jesus is the most important moment in Christianity. It has changed everything. How did it affect those that were there, how did it shape their faith? Let's learn some lessons in faith from those there that day and see how God works to make the shadows of uncertainty break into the dawning of hope.
When we are looking for a leader, a savoiur, we usually look for someone that's like a lion. Here John the Baptist introduces Jesus as the Lamb of God. Why? Before the Lion we need the Lamb. In these few words John the Baptist tells us about a suffering, saving and supreme Lamb.
John the Baptist's life and message caused people to ask questions about who he was. He answered those questions by pointing people to Jesus. Our lives too should raise questions because we're different and we need to use that to point people to Jesus.
In these verses we’re reminded of what God has done for us, what He has made us to be. It gives us much to be thankful for and a reminder to pursue godliness.
One of the fundamental truths of Christianity is that God came in the flesh. Jesus, being fully God, came to earth as fully man so that He could redeem us.
Jesus communicated to us about God to transform us.
Jesus, the Light, has come into the world and like John the Baptist it my calling to be a witness of that light. To reflect the Light of Jesus in this world.
