Beginning to the EndHeres a bit of good news about the Bible: its not as complicated as

you may think!

Our God, the One who is the author of life, the One who knows the

number of hairs on our head, the One who knows the thoughts and

intentions of our hearts, also knows our greatest needthe need for

forgiveness of sin.

In His infinite wisdom, God chose to make forgiveness as simple as

possible. In His grace and mercy He chose to provide salvation

through the receiving of a proclamation of truth. That truth is Jesus

Christ alive, dead, and risen for you.

The Bible proclaims this one messagethe message of Jesus Christ

from the beginning to the end. The story comes to life and imparts life

through the continuous themes of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and

Glorification. Everything recorded in Gods Word is to tell this one

story for you! Its not as complicated as you may think!

A Quote from Luther:Let us observe how the Wise Men

took no offense at the mean estate of

the Babe and his parents, that we

may also not be offended in the mean

estate of our neighbor, but rather see

Christ in him, since the Kingdom of

Christ is to be found among the lowly

and the despised in persecution,

misery, and the holy cross. Those

who seek Christ anywhere else find

him not. The Wise Men discovered

him not at Herods court, not with

high priests, not in the great city of

Jerusalem, but in Bethlehem, in the

stable, with lowly folk, with Mary and

Joseph. In a word, they found him

where one would have least

expected.
