Jesus is not Late!

Editor: David Maas

In his second epistle, Peter addresses the growing weariness of some believers due to the apparent delay in or even the failure of the “ arrival ” of Jesus to materialize, an open door for false teachers and outside critics to exploit. Instead of the predicted terrestrial and cosmic upheaval, daily life was continuing as it always had. The Apostle’s explanation is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago.

The Mission

Editor: David Maas

Jesus commanded his followers to announce the same message he preached: He summarized it as the “ Good News of the Kingdom of God .” His Church would establish this Kingdom in unexpected and paradoxical ways. By his return, his sovereignty over all nations will be established and his “ enemies ” will be subdued, including the last one, “ death .” Until then, his disciples must proclaim his message to the “ uttermost parts of the Earth .”

Only Some Nations?

Editor: David Maas

Is the Gospel of the Kingdom a message for only some nations, or is it Good News for all nations and peoples of the Earth? The Gospel of Jesus Christ is often perverted into  Good News  for some nations, but  bad news  for others. This twist occurs whenever representatives of the church of the same Jesus who gave his life for all men associate and even identify his name and   message with specific nations, races, cultures, and political ideologies.

Satan tempted Jesus by offering him political power over “ all the kingdoms of the world ,” but he refused the Devil’s offer. Instead, the Nazarene submitted to the way of the ‘ Suffering Servant of Yahweh ’ that led to his inevitable death on the Roman Cross. Satan tempted the Son of God in four ways, but his most seductive offer was that of dominion over the nations  - (Matthew 4:8-11).

La Purification des Péchés

Editor: David Maas

Ayant accompli la purification des péchés, Jésus s'assit à la droite de Dieu où il intercède pour son peuple en tant que Souverain Sacrificateur . Un point clé de la  Lettre aux Hébreux  est la victoire du Fils au nom de son peuple et son exaltation à la “ droite ” de Dieu en tant que leur Souverain Sacrificateur. Jésus a obtenu ce qu'aucun de ses prédécesseurs n'a jamais pu faire. Par son sacrifice “ une fois pour toutes ”, il “ a accompli la purification des péchés ” et “ s'est assis ” dans le “ vrai et plus grand Tabernacle ” où il intercède maintenant pour ses saints.
