Today we are looking at the New Testament.
"Has the Spirit been able to write with your life.?
Our love of the "green pastures" of the Bible will be greatly intensified if we realize that on almost every page of it we will find our lovely Lord waiting for us. Here is where we can find Christ at least once in every book of the Bible:
In Matthew
He is the King of the Jews (2:1).
In Mark
He is the Servant of Jehovah (entire book)
In Luke
He is the perfect Son of man (3:38, 4:1-13).
In John
He is the Son of God (1:1).
In Acts
He is the ascended Lord (1:8-9).
In Romans
He is our righteousness (3:22).
In 1 Corinthians
He is the firstfruits from among the dead (15:20).
In 2 Corinthians
He is made sin for us (5:21).
In Galatians
He is the end of the law (3:10; 3:13).
In Ephesians
He is our armor (6:11-18).
In Philippians
He is the Supplier of every need (4:19).
In Colossians
He is the preeminent one (1:18).
In 1 Thessalonians
He is our returning Lord (4:15-18).
In 2 Thessalonians
He is the world's returning Judge (1:7-9).
In 1 Timothy
He is the Mediator (2:5).
In 2 Timothy
He is the Bestower of crowns (4:8).
In Titus
He is our great God and Saviour (2:13).
In Philemon
He is the Father's Partner (vv. 17-19).
In Hebrews
He is the rest of faith and Fulfiller of types (chap 11; 12:1-2; Chap 9).
In James
He is the Lord of Sabaoth (5:4).
(So I looked this up and did not see Lord of the Sabbath in that verse but I found it is Matthew 12:1-21 and Mark 2:27-28)
In 1 Peter
He is the theme of Old Testament prophecy (1:10-11).
In 2 Peter
He is the long suffering Saviour (3:9).
In 1 John
He is the Word of life (1:1).
In 2 John
He is the target of the Antichrist (v. 7).
In 3 John
He is the personification of truth (vv. 3-4).
In Jude He is the believer's security (vv. 24-25).
In Revelation
He is the King of Kings and Lord of lords (19:11-16).
Your Bible will be a new book to you when you learn to discern the outline of His glorious person in the story of other persons and events recorded there."
