Another thread concerning the wrath of God is about to close.
In this thread, I would like to have us discuss the best representation of the whole ministry of Christ which will also include the atonement, but is not limited to just that topic.
I will start by declaring that my own personal favorite (as if anyone needs to be reminded) is that of the Lord being the Victor.
Consider it as the great umbrella in which hangs all the presentations of the Scriptures concerning the Christ.
On one strut is the glorious birth. Prophesied in such a way that even the common Jews looked for the event, yet when it happened most were asleep.
On another strut is the maturing years, were we have but a glimpse of His authority as a child discussing with the temple priests the Scriptures.
On another strut is the Baptism of John where the Father pronounces His validation before the ministry time even starts. What a declaration recommendation! None have had that in their resume'.
On another the ministry, the temptation through to the ascension. In three short years, to impact so many...
On another strut or three, is the future. The opening of the covenant scroll to the final estate in the new Heaven. It is not unremarkable in a sense of being of little importance, but in the sense of being indescribable.
Through it all is the thread of the Victorious Redeemer.
This is but a start to the thread.
May it be edifying to all!
What do you consider the best representation?
