Seeing Christ Each Day Revealing God’s Grace & Truth (John 1:14-18):
Christ Jesus is the theme of every part of the Bible, God’s Word. Jesus often reminded His audiences that the Scriptures speak about Him. Going to the Scriptures is the way to encounter Jesus.
Have you thought about that? When we think of each book, whether Obadiah or Philippians, He is the central message of every book. When we think of any doctrine, He is the central truth of every doctrine.
POINT 1: JESUS CHRIST IS THE THEME OF EVERY BOOK & EVERY DOCTRINE
Counseling: Jesus is a Wonderful Counselor
Fear & Anxiety: Jesus is the Prince of Peace
Marriage & Family: Jesus invented it. He is the Creator
Prophecy: Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy, Revelation tells us.
Salvation: Jesus, the Bread of Life, is our salvation.
Think of any book, doctrine, or portion of God’s Word, and Jesus Christ is the theme. With that in mind, we are looking at the Biblical Doctrine of Hungering for God. Again, we see that Jesus is the theme.
HUNGERING FOR GOD THROUGH JESUS
We can only Hunger for God through Jesus.
He is the only way to God, He is the only truth about God, and He offers the only life of God possible. He said only those who hunger for Him have genuine eternal life. The components of Hungering for God are:
Prayer (and Jesus is the One in whom we pray, in His Name and character);
Fasting (Jesus is the One we long for so much it prompts us to fast); and
Resting (and Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, Owner of our time, and the One who brings us peace and rest for our souls).
