3. How can we see that Jesus is central to all Scripture? John 5:39; Acts 4 :12.
NOTE: ‘Study the word, which God in His wisdom and love and goodness has made so plain and simple. The sixth chapter of John tells us what is meant by a study of the word. The principles revealed in the Scriptures are to be brought home to the soul. We are to eat the word of God; that is, we are not to depart from its precepts. We are to bring its truths into our daily lives, grasping the mysteries of godliness. Pray to God. Commune with Him. … You are to receive and assimilate His words; they are to become part of yourselves. This is what is meant by eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of God. You are to live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God; that is, what God has revealed.’ Counsels on Health, page 370. (Ellipsis supplied.)
4. How are we shown that Jesus is our centre and hope, both in the judgement in heaven now, and in the final, promised deliverance? Daniel 7:13; Acts 17:31; Daniel 12:2.
NOTE: ‘Christ has been made our Judge. The Father is not the Judge. The angels are not. He who took humanity upon Himself, and in this world lived a perfect life, is to judge us. He only can be our Judge. Will you remember this, brethren? Will you remember it, ministers? Will you remember it, fathers and mothers? Christ took humanity that He might be our Judge. Not one of you has been appointed to be a judge of others. It is all that you can do to discipline yourselves. In the name of Christ, I entreat you to heed the injunction that He gives you never to place yourselves on the judgement seat’. Counsels for the Church, page 259.
