Misdirection and Apostasy

By David Maas
Image
Believers watching for apostasy to occur outside the Church will miss the real thing since it is operating stealthily inside our congregations . The New Testament warns of coming apostasy and deceivers. This warning is to the Assembly, the Church composed of Christ’s true followers. It is not a message for outside groups, organizations, society, or the government. Satan is determined to destroy the Body of Christ, not the world system that serves his agenda, and he uses his human agents in the Church to deceive as many believers as possible.

Jésus est Roi

By David Maas
Image
Le Nouveau Testament applique les promesses messianiques des Psaumes au règne actuel de Jésus. Il est CHRIST LE ROI! Depuis sa Mort, sa Résurrection et son Ascension, Jésus a régné en souverain absolu sur la Terre, en fait, sur le Cosmos. Il est assis sur le Trône messianique de David et règne depuis le “ Mont Sion ” comme promis. En raison de son “ obéissance jusqu'à la mort ”, Christ est le “ Souverain des rois de la Terre ”. Avant son Ascension, il a déclaré, “ J'ai toute autorité au Ciel et sur Terre .” Sa souveraineté actuelle est illimitée.

Christus Rex

By David Maas

The New Testament applies messianic promises from the Psalms to the present reign of Jesus. He is CHRIST THE KING! Since his Death, Resurrection, and Ascension, Jesus has reigned as absolute sovereign over the Earth, indeed, over the Cosmos. He is seated on the Messianic Throne of David and rules from “ Mount Zion ” as promised. Because of his “ obedience until death ,” Christ is the “ Ruler of the Kings of the Earth .” Before his Ascension, he declared, “ I have all authority in Heaven and on Earth .”  His present sovereignty is limitless.

Fils de l'Homme

By David Maas
Image
Celui qui ressemble au Fils de l'Homme dans Daniel est la source de l'auto-désignation du Christ comme Fils de l'Homme et de son autorité royale . Le terme “ Fils de l'Homme ” est l'auto-désignation que l'on trouve le plus souvent sur les lèvres de Jésus. Il est dérivé de la vision de Daniel de celui “ comme un Fils d'Homme ” qui a reçu la “ domination et le royaume ” de “ l'Ancien des Jours .” Toutes les tribus de la Terre se lamenteront quand “ elles verront  le Fils de l'homme  venir sur les nuées du Ciel .”

The Son of Man

By David Maas
Image
The one like the Son of Man in Daniel is the source of Christ’s self-designation as the Son of Man and his royal authority . The term “ Son of Man ” is the self-designation found most often on the lips of Jesus. It is derived from Daniel’s vision of the one “ like a Son of Man ” who received the “ dominion and kingdom ” from the “ Ancient of Days .” All the tribes of the Earth will mourn when “ they see  the Son of man  coming on the clouds of Heaven .”

Mercy, not Sacrifice

By David Maas

Forgiveness links the call of the tax collector to the healing of the paralytic – Christ’s authority to discharge sins and restore men – Mark 2:13-17. When Jesus pronounced the paralytic’s sins “ forgiven ,” he offended the Scribes and Pharisees. He alienated them further by  showing mercy  to “ sinners ” considered especially unacceptable by more scrupulously religious Jews. Seeing Jesus eating with “ tax collectors ” and “ sinners ,” the Scribes and Pharisees insinuated that the Nazarene also was a notorious sinner – (Mark 2:1-17).
