The Same Savior


The world is ever changing. Technology alone is moving so fast that few can keep up. In this chaotic changing world we have one constant and that is Christ Jesus. In the Book of Hebrews it says, "Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8). Think about the ramifications of this verse?! That means the Jesus the Apostles knew is the same Jesus we know! It means the Jesus devout monks in the Middle Ages knew is the same Jesus that the Pilgrims knew when settling Plymouth!

Throughout history and beyond it, the Lord is at work drawing people unto Himself. Think about the brothers and sisters in the Faith we shall one day meet? We shall see St. Paul and St. Peter who were at the beginning! We shall encounter Joan of Arc, Crusaders, Reformers, Protestants, Catholics, and etc. People from every walk of life and time period shall be together and they will all have known the same Christ! I will be able to relate to Knight from the 12 Century because he follows and loves the same Lord and Savior!

It is in Christ that people from Eden to the End Times shall be united in together through one faith in Jesus Christ! We shall all have in common Christ and we shall know the same Savior which means despite the gaps in time between a Roman Centurion and say a Romania Car salesman, they will be able to relate to one another because the same Christ dwells within them! No one will feel uneasy with each other! Everyone will commune together in Christ and find that He is all that is needed to have something in common.

So rejoice that The Same Savior who dwells in the saints like John and Joan of Arc dwells in you! You shall find all your brothers and sisters in the Lord similar to you despite the difference in the societies they lived in!

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
