  THE WORKS OF CHRIST ON EARTH Christology - Lesson 13 This lesson will highlight some of the works of Jesus Christ during His life on earth. Due to the nature of this overview, we will not be able to examine every text possible about the works of Christ. We must keep in mind what John ended His gospel with: There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written (John 21:25).   This lesson on the works of Jesus Christ during His life on earth will essentially be an exposition of Philippians 2:5-8.

THE NAMES AND NATURES OF JESUS CHRIST Christology - Lesson 12 Our definition of Systematic Theology is that it is the study of the being and works of God by gathering together the biblical information on different topics and arranging them together in a logical fashion.   We come to our third topic: Christology. This is the study of the biblical data about our Lord. As always, our purpose is to give a general overview of systematic theology; an introductory glance at each of the doctrines. For this reason, we cannot gather together every text; but we will attempt to give a good representation of biblical texts for each subject discussed.   I once heard Sinclair Ferguson say that if you asked the average Evangelical Christian to tell you all they know about Jesus, they wouldn’t even take up five minutes before their knowledge of the subject was exhausted. This is not to shame anyone. This has served as a challenge to myself. I hope it will serve as a challenge to you also...

THE DECREE OF GOD Theology Proper - Lesson 11 The Bible has presented us with the God who is perfect in every way, without beginning or end, infinite in nature, incomparable in every way. We have been humbled as we have learned that God is not just a bigger and better version of us. He is who He is; and we are merely His creations, weak and finite, dependent and needy. Everything we have comes from His hand. Whatever we are, it is because He knit us together in our mother’s womb (Psa 139:13); and even there He knew us and had plans for us (cf. Jer 1:5).   We need to consider that in a much deeper way. Therefore, before we leave the topic of Theology Proper, we need to consider the scope of God’s sovereign DECREE concerning all things. [1]
