The Nature of Christ

Jesus Christ is possibly the most maligned, misunderstood, and misrepresented human that ever walked the earth. To say that Christ is the Head of the Church is scripturally correct. But what do we have in our mind when we say that? What do we actually think of in terms of His Headship of the Church is concerned?  I think it is important to review some aspects of the nature of Christ beginning with some of the larger issues: Within the Christian Churches today there are people who … [Read more...] about The Nature of Christ

Pentecost, the Spiritual Connection

In this same chapter, Christ speaks about His role as Shepherd and the response of the sheep. Sheep were kept in an enclosed courtyard, with a gate or opening at one end. In a sheepfold the shepherd might sleep in the opening at night to … [Read more...] about Live Life Abundantly
