Now I know to whom I belong

Did you know that the four Gospels are the only ones that have fulfilled the Old Testament predictions of Scripture? (Remember, those prophecies—foretelling that God’s truth would spread worldwide, even to the distant islands—were written centuries before these Gospels existed. The Gospels were later bound together, so to speak, with those ancient Scriptures into what we now call the Bible, a collection that has been recognized as holy Scripture throughout all ages.) In contrast, Islam, Mormonism, and similar faiths are “Johnny-come-latelies”—or more accurately, “Jesus-come-latelies”—that emerged long after and built upon the established foundation of the originals.

Our Saviour

But our Saviour surpasses all human nature. He is so lovely, as to be alone loved by us, whose hearts are set on the true beauty, for “He was the true light.” He is shown to be a King, as such hailed by unsophisticated children and by the unbelieving and ignorant Jews, and heralded by the prophets. So rich is He, that He despised the whole earth, and the gold above and beneath it, with all glory, when given to Him by the adversary. What need is there to say that He is the only High Priest, who alone possesses … Continue reading Our Saviour
