2 | What about vs.10 | 2 Tim 1:6 | stjohn | 185101 | ||
Dear Huck; May I say first that I am in total agreement with brother Tim, And beautifully spoken. 2 Tim 1:10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, By the work that Jesus did for us on the Cross, that is the perfect sacrifice for sin, as the wages of sin is death, In the Old Testament, the death and blood of a lamb was required as a sacrifice to cover sin, and the animal had to be without spot or blemish. Jesus being without spot or blemish, for 'all' but him only have sinned. He alone did not sin. He is, 'Without spot or blemish'. So, by him becoming sin for sinful man, reveals to us that the whole of Scripture, that is the 'Gospel' in v,10 and by His being raised from the dead, gives us the truth of eternal life, that is 'immortality' in v,10, into the light of 'our' understanding. And by His 'appearing' in v,10, on the seen, and doing this wonderful work for us, "the 'appearing' of our savior Jesus Christ" This has brought into the light for our understanding, the whole of Scripture, which is the 'Gospel'. The whole of the Gospel, points to our savior Jesus Christ, and His perfect sacrifice for the salvation of you and me, into eternal life. He is our 'salvation' "our 'saviour' Jesus Christ" in v,10 And all that come to Him by faith. 'For no-one comes to the Father but by Me' Will have life in Him for eternity! (which is a wonderful gift by the way! don't you think?) Everything about the Old Testament, points forward, To the Cross, and everything about the New Testament points back. to the Cross. It has been said, that the summation of the Gospel is the Cross. Keeping this in mind when reading v,10 helps me a lot. I hope this helps you my friend. Love in Christ. stj |
