GOD the SON (Isa 9:6): “Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists?…What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, if you know?” (Prov 30:4). As the kinsman Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ is the son of Adam (Lk 3:38). As descendant of the father of […]

“Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand” (Ps 149:5-6). “The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and […]
CHRIST the SILENT ONE: “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth” (Isa 53:7). It is no small thing when the Word of God was silent. […]
