BIBLE PROPHECY IN ACTION

THE TREASURE HUNT: DISCOVERING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE GREATEST TREASURE | BIBLE PROPHECY IN ACTION

The Archaeological Survey of India recently began digging in the 19^th century Buxar fort in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, hoping to unearth thousands of tons of gold treasure. After two days of excavation, no gold treasure was discovered, but a brick wall, shards of glass bangles, hopscotch toys and a mud floor was discovered.

The Holy Bible speaks about a sure treasure hid in a field; when a man found it, he hid it, and then in his joy went and sold all that he owned and bought that field. This treasure was so precious to him, that he sold all his possessions to own that treasure. This treasure, as it might seem strange to our readers, is none but the invisible God Himself, by whom were all things created, visible and invisible and He is before all things and in Him dwells all fullness. In Christ Jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge; of grace and peace and righteousness, which are laid up in Christ, and if you and I lay hold on Him, all these shall be yours and mine.

John the Baptist said of the Lord Jesus that of His fullness have all we received, grace for grace. The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Grace is the kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man, not by man’s works of righteousness. The Law of Moses demands righteousness from man, but under grace, God by his redemptive work confers righteousness on man. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, which is by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

You have to set your eyes and affection on the Lord Jesus Christ, for He is the treasure whom the gospel bids us to possess. He tasted death to confer eternal life for every man. Lord Jesus Christ took our place on the wretched cross and offered his soul an offering for sin; your sin and my sin. Jesus was buried, but rose again on the third day and ascended to heaven. He will come any day and moment!

Dear reader, confess your sins, trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and come into possession of this great treasure.

A CASE FOR CHRIST: EVIDENCE FOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST | BIBLE PROPHECY IN ACTION

A Kenyan lawyer filed a suit in the Nairobi High Court against the illegal trial and execution of Jesus of Nazareth citing the human rights violation, premature judgement, and cruel torture. However the court refused to entertain this case after which the lawyer appealed to the International court of Justice in the Netherlands.

True, the Lord Jesus Christ was unjustly tried and condemned to death. False witnesses rose against Him and heaped false accusations upon Him, but none could establish any evidence against Him. After thorough examination, Pilate, the Roman Governer declared that he found no fault in Jesus. But in spite of the impeccable life of the Lord Jesus Christ, the vulgar mob clamoured for His blood. Though Pilate was convinced that Jesus was innocent, yet he condemned Him to death to please the blood thirsty mob. The Lord Jesus Christ was subjected to humiliation and cruel torture. The same crowd that joyfully sang Hosannas to their King (Jesus) rejected Him a little later and led Him outside the city walls and thus He “suffered without the gate”.

But truly it was God who was pleased to bruise Him, torment Him and put Him to grief. The Father has not only allowed men to bruise Him but awakened His own sword against His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. It was none but the Father who placed the bitter cup in the hands of His beloved Son. Jesus was smitten of God, bruised of God and crushed of God although the Blessed Son had done no violence nor was any deceit found in His mouth.

Why did God the Father do so? It was because God made His Son a sin and a curse for us. It was because the Father has laid upon Jesus the iniquity of us all, the wickedness of us all, the immorality of us all, the unrighteousness of us all; that is your sins and my sins were laid upon Him and He was punished.

Prophet Isaiah aptly says, “…He (Jesus) was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.” Dear reader, what do the wounds of the Lord Jesus Christ mean to you? What do the bruises of the Lord Jesus mean to you? And what do the stripes of the Lord Jesus mean to you? Here is a solemn opportunity to save your soul from eternal hell fire by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ!

THE CONVERSION OF SAUL: FROM PERSECUTOR OF CHRIST TO APOSTLE PAUL | BIBLE PROPHECY IN ACTION

Sometime between 31-36 AD. It was an extraordinary mid-day in the life of a young man, a sworn enemy and persecutor of Christ and the infant Christian Church called “The Way”. This young man was on his way to Damascus with his companions for arresting the Christians and committing them to prison. He had the authority of the Chief Priests for the purpose. This young man was none but Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee, well versed in the Hebrew Old Testament sacred Scriptures. But he made havoc on the infant Church, entering into every house and haling men and women committing them to prison.

As Saul and his men were about to reach the city of Damascus, all of a sudden behold, a bright light from heaven, brighter than the sun surrounded Saul. Immediately, he fell to the ground and heard a voice, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” Saul was overtaken by helplessness and panic and said, “Who are you, Lord?” Saul instantly received the reply, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the pricks”. In that breathtaking moment, Saul saw the risen Saviour, and something extraordinary happened in his heart. The result was amazing! Saul surrendered his heart to the Lord Jesus Christ and followed His instructions.

The risen Saviour said to Saul, “I have appeared to you, for this reason, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you… to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me (Acts 26:12-18), that by the work of the Spirit, the eyes of the understanding of those who are blinded by Satan are enlightened; through the preaching of the Gospel.

Saul's encounter with Jesus Christ transformed his life altogether. He received forgiveness of his sins and experienced the joy of salvation by trusting in the expiative work of Christ on the cross. Saul was no longer a persecutor of the Church. He became a transformed man of God, known as Apostle Paul, the greatest missionary ever known in the history of the Church. He was chosen by God for turning many from darkness to light and to deliver them that are under the power and control of Satan. God used the transformed Paul for delivering millions of souls from the stronghold of Satan and leading them to Christ. Besides, out of twenty-seven books of the New Testament, thirteen came to be written by Apostle Paul alone, which stands as an eloquent testimony to the transforming power of God.

Dear reader, God is willing to transform you too if you commit your life to Jesus. God says, “Come now and let us reason together, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. God has permitted a man to reason with Him (Genesis 18:23-32; Exodus 4:1-17; Job 23:3-7; Micah 6:2). The loving God does not desire any to perish in the coming judgment, but all to repent their sins and experience the joy of salvation (2 Peter 3:9).

Dear reader, if you have not yet received the assurance of salvation, repent your sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour right now.

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: THE WORDS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST | BIBLE PROPHECY IN ACTION

A vast multitude of people around the globe are led astray by cult leaders and blind guides, who claim to possess extraordinary spiritual knowledge and powers. Such claims have repeatedly proven false, yet there is no dearth of followers. Strange as it may seem, the list of followers is not confined to the illiterate masses, but includes ministers, top ranking officers and high profile personalities!

The fact remains that God does not desire any soul to go astray and perish, but that every soul should experience ‘eternal life’. So God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ into this world to show man the way to God, the Father. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me”.

Christ is the ‘only way’ to reach the Father, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby you must be saved. There is no other way to attain salvation, but by the Lord Jesus Christ only, for He, as the high priest, by His own blood entered in once into the holy place, and obtained eternal redemption for us. The Lord Jesus Christ is ‘the Truth’ being the substance and fulfillment of the types and figures of the Old Testament. He is the ‘only Truth’ as opposed to ‘the falsehood’ we see around.

The Lord Jesus Christ is also ‘the life’. He is the only source and fountain of all life. He is the redeemer of souls from eternal death and giver of everlasting life. However depraved, poor, week and miserable you may feel now, yet by trusting in Him, you can experience the joy of a ‘new life’ now and a ‘glorious life’ in everlasting mansions above, after you leave this world.

The Lord Jesus Christ is not merely one of the ways to salvation, but he is the ‘only way’ for there is no other way. None can imagine reaching heaven except through the Lord Jesus Christ, who died a vicarious death on the cross, for you and for me. He was buried, but rose again on the third day. He ascended to heaven and is seated on the right hand of God, the Father. Jesus will come again soon to take his people unto Himself. If you trust in this risen and living Savior, you shall receive eternal life. Dear reader, are you saved? Do you have the assurance of salvation? If not, confess your sins to Him and receive Jesus, the Christ of God as your Lord and Saviour right now.

THE PARABLE OF THE FATHER’S HEART: GOD’S LOVE AND FORGIVENESS | BIBLE PROPHECY IN ACTION

There was a wealthy Jew in Palestine who had a great household with olive yards and vineyards, sheep and camels and hired servants. He had two sons, who had all the father's provisions available in that wealthy home. However, the younger son being sick of living with his loving father chose no longer to be under his authority. He brazenly demanded his share of the inheritance and his father refused him not. “He gathered all together” and cutting every tie with his father, took his journey to a “far country”, to a world of sin and mirth, away from God and the eyes of his father. The rebellious act of the young man has characteristics of Isaiah's prophetic portrayal of sinners, “all we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way…” (Isaiah 53:6).

Soon he spent all and became penniless. To make matters worse, a mighty famine ravaged the land and he began to be in want. His dire situation forced him to join the citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the swine, a great disgrace that could happen to the son of a wealthy Jew. The swine was an unclean animal under the Levitical law (Leviticus 11:8), which kept reminding him that he was a lawbreaker and under the judgement of God. The ration provided to the prodigal was scanty that he longed to fill his stomach with the swine feed, but even that was not available, and none pitied him. Running away from the presence of his loving father has brought him to a most shameful and disgraceful experience of feeding the swine.

We see in this narrative, God's amazing kindness and mercy, for the extreme misery brought the prodigal to his right senses. Earlier he was “beside himself”, but now “came to himself”. Then he said, “how many hired servants of my father's house have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!” He composed a statement of repentance (Luke 15:18, 19). Genuine repentance is not confined to shallow words, but to action. In his extremity, there was genuine repentance in his heart. This is of prime necessity for the salvation of every sinner who walks the road of the prodigal.

The prodigal is under the sentence of death just like the older brother is who holds a pharisaic attitude. The words “…when he was yet a great way off…” speak eloquently about the father's heart, reminiscing about the Love of God, our Saviour. The waiting and watching and yearning of the father focuses our attention on the incredible bounty and generosity of the father, which is the powerful portrayal of the heart of God, our heavenly Father towards the prodigals, you and I (Genesis 3:8, 9).

The father, casting aside his dignity of a wealthy Jew, having had compassion, unashamedly ran, reached his wayward son, embraced him and kissed him tenderly, which reminds us of the Son of God coming on the earth & suffering humiliation and torture and dying on the cursed cross as a criminal for you and for me, prodigals. The prodigal was arrayed with the best robe, the garment of salvation which our heavenly Father clothes us with (Isaiah 61:10; Revelation 7:14), the ring on his hand, signifies an unending relationship to our heavenly Father and shoes on his feet, as a mark as a free man, privilege to stand in His blessed presence in absolute forgiveness and acceptance. The fatted calf is a prize animal reserved for a feast in honour of a special guest.

In the mind of our heavenly Father, there could not be a joyous occasion than when a lost son is found (Luke 15:7). Dear readers come home to God, our Saviour with a repentant heart and bring joy to the heart of God!
