In the book of Isaiah we see a contrast between a man in the old creation(king Hezekiah, ch. 36-39) and a man in the new creation (ch. 40). No matter how good and spiritual Hezekiah was, because he was still in the old creation, he needed to be terminated and replaced with Christ! A person […]
John the Baptist brought in the New Testament priesthood of the gospel – now all believers are priests!
The Old Testament priesthood is over and done away with – God has begun the New Testament priesthood with the coming of John the Baptist! Even though John the Baptist was born in a priestly family, he didn’t continue “in his father’s footsteps” by serving and worshipping in the temple. Instead, he worked and lived […]

Hallelujah, we have been regenerated through the living and abiding word of God!
We have been regenerated through the living and abiding word of God to be saved from being like perishing and withering grass – and be living and abiding forever! We see this clearly in the following verses: Isa. 40:7-8 … surely the people are like grass. The grass withers and the flower fades, but the […]
God’s shining in our hearts brings into us a priceless treasure – the Christ of glory!
This morning I was freshly impressed and supplied at the same time with God’s desire to shine in our hearts! In the Old Testament He was shining over people, mainly outwardly, but now in the New Testament, He can shine in our hearts! Without the Lord shining in us, we are in darkness; any part […]
