Many of you have been journeying with us through the Miracles of Jesus on our ETJ Broadcast. It is always wonderful to be reminded that Christ is enough, and we trust that you will continue to meditate much on the sufficiency of Christ in the days ahead. As a help to that end, we want to encourage you to download our Miracles Reference Guide.

We are entering the final weeks of our series through the miracles of Jesus! If you have not yet joined us for this study, you may view the entire library of episodes here.

There are many wonderful tools available in today’s age of information. However, as we study the miracles of Christ, we would like to recommend one particular resource: My Lord and My God: A Harmony of the Life of Christ in the Gospels. This book has been a tremendous help in preparation for our current ETJ series. We find in it a parallel of the Gospels that will help you follow in the Master’s steps. As you study, it will be as if you are traveling with Christ. Follow as He journeys from a humble cradle to His triumph at the cross and resurrection.

This outstanding work was written by our friend Edward Barclay, and will be a tremendous addition to your library. This very thorough volume is filled with helpful images, illustrations, timelines, and much more.

Below are some sneak peeks into what you will find inside…

 

You may purchase a copy of My Lord and My God, here. We pray this book will be a great aid to you as you seek to know Christ better each day.

Authors Introduction to My Lord and My God:

There is, perhaps, no greater Biblical pursuit than to study the words, actions, and life of Jesus the Christ. Jesus is the express image of the Father’s person; Jesus is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; and Jesus is the ever-living One who is at this moment interceding for His beloved. Jesus is the Word made flesh, and Jesus is the Word of life. Jesus is God the Son, and Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is the friend of the fatherless, and Jesus is the finisher of our faith. To see Jesus is to see the Father. When Thomas, consumed by doubt, first beheld the resurrected Jesus, his fears instantly melted; in this moment, the only fitting words Thomas could utter describing his risen Saviour were “My Lord and my God.”

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
