Maranatha Teachings

In this episode, we look into the comparison of Jesus with Moses. In Moses' faithfulness as a servant, we gain unexpected insights into God's opinion of racism as well as the prophetic implications of the signs the Lord gave him in their encounter at the burning bush. Moses was a type of Christ. As I wrote in my book Love Everlasting: A Practical Theology of Time, "Moses will walk through the sea on dry ground. Jesus walked on the waves. Moses takes his sandals off at the foot of the bush. Jesus had his feet nailed to the tree. Moses will turn his hand leprous. Jesus will grab the leper and make him clean. Moses will bring deliverance in his time, pointing to the deliverance of all time, Jesus the Lamb of God."

"Apostle" sounds like a wholly New Testament idea to our Christian ears. But is it? Our heavenly Father populated redemption's history with types of the Messiah to come. The role of apostle is throughout the Old Testament. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the truths of Jesus' apostolic mission and its transforming realities in our relationship to God.

To consider Jesus—to perceive him clearly, understand him full, and examine him closely—is the life's walk of the disciple of Christ.

All of us suffer, most of us would rather not talk about it. But suffering is unavoidable in this present life. As the Captain of our salvation, Jesus shows us the way through suffering and the glory that is sure to follow.

What does it mean for Christ to be the Captain of our salvation? How is it that the spotless Lamb of God was perfected through suffering? Join us as we examine the wonder of Jesus as the author and first cause, the originator and chief of our redemption.

In Hebrews 2:9, the epistle shifts from the divinity of the Son to the humanity of Jesus. In this episode, we learn what it means to meditate and contemplate on who Jesus is in His glorification - snow-white haired, face bright as the midday sun, flaming eyed, glory robed, golden girdled, sword mouthed, stars in hand, furnace-fired bronze feet, and waterfall-roaring voice - and that He tasted death for every man by the grace of God.
