It is good to have more than one person ready to verify facts, especially when they are well-informed and honest. In the case of the remarkable life of Jesus, we have four accounts written by people close to the source, which we traditionally call the Gospels, because they record the gospel, or good news, about Jesus. After considering their authorship, we look at their overall structure and the curious methods that Jesus used to reveal himself little by little to his followers and to others. These culminated in the crowning acts of his work: his death and resurrection.
After complaining repeatedly to God, the prophet had a view of God’s power and fell silent.
In answer to Habakkuk’s complaint about God using the wicked to accomplish his purpose, God declared that the righteous will live by faith.
We need to look again at the familiar story of Jesus’ birth to see the many connections with past promises and their coming fulfillment.
