Christ is… 1. …the true Light, to illuminate. John 1:9 – “The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.” 2. …the true Bread, to satisfy. John 6:32 – “Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my […]

It’s an interesting question, but one that has been asked, in one form or another, by several people. Last week, we published a blog post that celebrated God’s desire to win glory for Himself.

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:8-10) “There are many principles contrary to love, that make […]
