The Light of the World

December 23, 2024 David R Maas

Jesus is the only true Light of the World, and his light shines all the brighter amidst the darkness that tyrannizes the present age. All competing claims are false.

“Life” is found in the “Word” or ‘Logos’ (λογος), and this life is the “Light of men.” The Light is “shining in the darkness,” and the darkness “cannot seize” or suppress it. This same “Word” has become the Living Word of God in Jesus of Nazareth, in whom the glory, salvation, and life of God are manifested for all men to see – (John 1:1).

His Resurrection, Resurrection, Salvation

Salvation and Resurrection

December 16, 2024 David R Maas

Central to the hope of the Apostolic Faith is the future bodily resurrection of the dead, which is based on the past resurrection of Jesus.

The biblical faith is focused on the future. The doctrine of salvation includes the future resurrection of the dead, which will also mark the arrival of the New Creation. The New Testament links this coming resurrection to two events: The past Resurrection of Jesus, and his “arrival” or ‘Parousia’ at the end of the present age. Our salvation will remain incomplete until Christ returns and raises us from the dead.

No Other Name!

December 9, 2024 David R Maas

Jesus Christ fulfills the promise to bless all nations in Abraham. There is salvation in No Other Name.

Basic to the biblical doctrine of redemption is the covenant with Abraham and his “Seed.” It included the promise that “all the nations of the Earth would be blessed in him,” and the Patriarch would have innumerable descendants. How and when are the nations blessed? Who is Abaham’s “Seed” destined to inherit the promises?

Jésus est Roi

October 22, 2024 David R Maas

Le Nouveau Testament applique les promesses messianiques des Psaumes au règne actuel de Jésus. Il est CHRIST LE ROI!

Depuis sa Mort, sa Résurrection et son Ascension, Jésus a régné en souverain absolu sur la Terre, en fait, sur le Cosmos. Il est assis sur le Trône messianique de David et règne depuis le “Mont Sion” comme promis. En raison de son “obéissance jusqu’à la mort”, Christ est le “Souverain des rois de la Terre”. Avant son Ascension, il a déclaré, “J’ai toute autorité au Ciel et sur Terre.” Sa souveraineté actuelle est illimitée.

Fils de l’Homme

October 22, 2024October 22, 2024 David R Maas

Celui qui ressemble au Fils de l’Homme dans Daniel est la source de l’auto-désignation du Christ comme Fils de l’Homme et de son autorité royale.

Le terme “Fils de l’Homme” est l’auto-désignation que l’on trouve le plus souvent sur les lèvres de Jésus. Il est dérivé de la vision de Daniel de celui “comme un Fils d’Homme” qui a reçu la “domination et le royaume” de “l’Ancien des Jours.” Toutes les tribus de la Terre se lamenteront quand “elles verront le Fils de l’homme venir sur les nuées du Ciel.”
