Dr. Knight focuses on a number of the significant truths from the Bible. I will comment on a couple of them from this book.
Jesus: The Center of the Story
You don’t have to be a Christian to
know that there is something special about Jesus. After all, even the dating
system upon which our calendars are based is divided between B.C. (before
Christ) and A.D. (anno Domini, Latin
for “in the year of our Lord”). No wonder Jesus has been called the hinge of
history. Our very understanding of history puts Jesus at the center.
The same picture is found in the
Bible. The Old Testament points forward to Jesus as the Lamb of God who will
take away the sins of the world. And the New Testament looks back on His life,
death, and the church He founded to take His teachings to the far corners of
the earth. Thus Jesus is not only the focal point of history but also the very
center of the Bible story.
Jesus is truly the center of
history, the Bible and God’s rescue plan. But those facts will do us absolutely
no good unless we make Him the very center of our lives.
Judgment is Good News
For sin pays its wage-death; but God’s free gift is eternal life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 GNT
Those who accept Jesus by faith
have nothing to fear in the judgment. In fact, God established the judgment to
determine who are willing to be forgiven….This is very good news!
The good news is that the Judge is
on our side.
The good news is that the Judge
sent the Savior.
The good news is that all who have
accepted Jesus’ life and death are safe in Him.
The good news is that the purpose
of the judgment is the vindication of God’s people.
I recommend this book. You can read the first chapter on line for free- click here.
