Last night in our home meeting we were enjoying the fact that the Apostle Paul saw Christ everywhere in the Old Testament. Even in Deut. 30:12 where there was the re-speaking of the law and the question, “Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into heaven?” came up – even here, Paul saw […]
the Word of life is “an appetizer” to our enjoying God as the eternal life as “many courses”
Isn’t that true? When you read the first Epistle of John chapter one you see that John starts in a mysterious way to introduce something of the eternal life – and he begins with The Word Of Life… Just as before a large meal – like dinner – we sometimes have an appetizer, so when […]
Christ is the Word of life: He declared the mysterious God to us and brought us the divine life!
This week we are enjoying one item from the central line of the Bible – the Word of God. But what is most interesting is that the Word of God is not “something in itself” – the main thing about the Bible is that Christ is the Word of God! We don’t come to the […]

In the Bible, there are many things, but there is a CENTRAL LINE, a central revelation, something so basic and so important that all the believers agree with and believe! In our life and service we need to focus not on the “leaves” or “branches” […]
