Top Highlights
“First, since the Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8), whatever attributes were true of Him during His earthly existence also must be true in His preincarnate state, as well as in His present state of glory. Therefore any possibility that He could sin has ramifications for the eternal character of God.” (Pages 11–12)
“The requirement that a disciple ‘take up his cross’ means ‘to submit to the rule against which he was formerly in rebellion.’ Evidence for this meaning of ‘obedience’ or ‘submission’ was developed from the biblical passages and their contexts, theology, and history. To ‘deny self’ means to cease rebelling against the King and His rule—to cease being hostile to God, to stop being disobedient. To ‘take up his cross’ means to submit actively to the King and His reign—to obey God and do His will. The one who does this is thus following Jesus.” (Page 127)
“This article seeks to demonstrate that some of the Corinthian Christians brought aspects of their pagan background into their worship and theology.” (Page 134)
“This understanding emphasizes the character of the man rather than his marital status.” (Page 249)
“The Ascension is the removal of the resurrected body of Jesus from space and time into the immediate presence of God. The exaltation is the Father’s placing His incarnate Son in the position of His Vice-regent. Exaltation presupposes both resurrection and ascension; but it is not the sum of them. Rather, exaltation emphasizes what actually happened to the Word made flesh as He entered heaven: He sat at God’s right hand.” (Page 198)
