Jesus Revealed in Doctrine JESUS REVEALED BY DOCTRINES
My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine. John 7:16, 17.
Jesus is the Man of the bible. He is the theme of the entire book, the central character of each story. He was the word who spoke all things into existence. He was revealed through symbols and types. And He is revealed by the doctrines of the Bible as well. Sometimes we have separated the doctrines from the theme of salvation by faith in Christ. Some have had trouble discovering the importance of the doctrines in light of the truth that our acceptance with God is based only on coming to Jesus for the salvation that He has freely provided. Be we have only scratched the surface of the exciting and rewarding study of how the doctrines of the church reveal Jesus in a special light.
Jesus came to live and die for us, that He might offer us salvation. He promised to come again for us, taking us to the heavenly country He has prepared for those who love Him. His love for us is revealed in the complete provision He has made to save us from the world of sin.
He has made every effort to make sure that we understand the issues in sin, so that we can choose life instead of death. Even His dealings with Satan and the angels who fell show us how fair and how patient He is and how determined He is that no one will fail of understanding the truth.
He has shown Himself to be interested in our physical lives. He is revealed as a practical God, who knows from personal experience the needs of humanity. He has instructed us in the best way to live while here on earth, and has made provision to wake us up if we fall asleep before His return.
He has revealed His power for cleansing our hearts, and given us the Sabbath to be a special sign of His power to make us holy. He is revealed in the sanctuary as the Lamb of God. He gave us a sandbox illustration of the methods of communication with Him, and opened the way to the Holy of Holies to give us the assurance that the law can still be kept through His power.
It is as we study the doctrines in the light of Jesus, and what they teach us about Him, and our relationship with Him, that we find meaning in the distinctive teachings of our church, and become prepared to share these truths with the waiting world around us.
