This document discusses the concept of "harps and bowls praying" which refers to a style of prayer that incorporates worship music ("harps") and intercession ("bowls") in an interactive relationship. It explores biblical examples like King David's tabernacle which brought together worship singers, musicians, and intercessors. The document provides details on implementing antiphonal singing, praying Scripture, and maintaining a focus on God rather than the demonic in spiritual warfare. The goal is to help prayer move from an "outside-in" to an "inside-out" approach that is Spirit-led.

The document examines different aspects and interpretations of the Lord's Prayer, focusing on theological understandings around God's kingdom, power, glory, and sovereignty over all creation.
This document discusses the role of worship, warfare, and intercession as God-given tools for the end-times church. It argues that these practices: 1) Prepare the way for the Lord by establishing His kingdom on earth through establishing Zion, where He dwells and rules; 2) Are weapons that use the Word of God to overthrow the forces of evil; and 3) Will raise up a prophetic army of worshiping intercessors to declare God's praises and make straight the way for His coming through purified lives and lifted up gates.

Kerberos als Unternehmsweites Single Sign OnMike Wiesner
Single-Sign-On wird immer häufiger von Unternehmen gefordert. Die Vorteile liegen klar auf der Hand: Der Arbeitsfluss wird nicht durch ständige Kennworteingaben unterbrochen, der Benutzer muss sich nicht so viele Kennwörter merken und wählt daher erfahrungsgemäß ein komplexeres Kennwort, der Administrationsaufwand sinkt und letztlich steigt auch die Sicherheit, da sensible Daten nur noch auf einem System vorgehalten werden müssen. SSO macht allerdings nur dann Sinn, wenn das verwendete Protokoll auch auf breiter Ebene unterstützt wird.
Hier hat sich in den letzten Jahren das Open Source Protokoll Kerberos immer mehr hervorgetan. Mittlerweile wird es unter anderem auf Linux, MS Windows (ab 2000), Sun Solaris und Mac OS unterstützt. Teilweise gibt es sogar mehrere Implementierungen, die aber alle untereinander kompatibel sind, sodass ein Windows-Client ohne Probleme mit einem Linux-Server kommunizieren kann.
Auch beim Anwendungsprotokoll lässt Kerberos einem freie Wahl, sodass es ohne Probleme mit z.B.: ssh, http, ldap oder auch eigenen Protokollen verwendet werden kann. Zu den Programmen die Kerberos unterstützen zählen unter anderem Firefox, MS Internet Explorer, OpenSSH, OpenLDAP, Apache HTTP-Server, Cyrus und viele mehr. Für die eigene Softwareentwicklung stehen APIs für C, C#, Perl und Java zur Verfügung.
In dieser Session werden zunächst Grundlagen zu SSO und Kerberos auf kompakte Weise vermittelt. Anschließend geht es um die Vorraussetzungen für ein Unternehmensweites SSO und die möglichen Probleme die dabei auftreten können. Um das ganze anschaulicher zu machen werden schließlich noch einige Beispiele aus der Praxis vorgestellt und als Fazit die Vor- und Nachteile von Kerberos sowie die Alternativen dazu vorgestellt.
This document contains excerpts from the Bible describing Jesus Christ's birth and ministry. It begins with John's vision of Jesus in Revelation 1. It then describes the angel Gabriel appearing to Mary and telling her she will give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. Mary visits her relative Elizabeth, who confirms the miraculous nature of Mary's conception. Mary responds with praise and acceptance of God's will. The document emphasizes living in relationship with God and the great things he can accomplish.
God appeared to the priest Zechariah and told him that his wife Elizabeth would bear a son named John, even though they were old. When Zechariah doubted, he was struck mute until John's birth. Elizabeth gave birth to John as promised. On the eighth day, Zechariah confirmed in writing that his name should be John. Zechariah's mouth was opened and he prophesied, praising God for the redemption and salvation he would bring through his son John, who would prepare the way for the Messiah.
The passage describes the conception and birth of Jesus Christ. It begins by describing Jesus' divine nature and role in creation according to the Gospel of John. It then moves to prophecies by Isaiah about the virgin birth of the Messiah. The passage discusses John the Baptist's witness and baptism of Jesus. It concludes by recounting the angel Gabriel's visits to Zechariah and Mary to announce their miracles births of John the Baptist and Jesus, respectively.
The passage describes the birth of Jesus Christ as foretold by prophets. An angel tells Mary she will conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. Mary visits her relative Elizabeth, who is also miraculously pregnant. Mary gives birth to Jesus in Bethlehem, where he is visited by shepherds and wise men. The passage establishes Jesus as the promised Messiah through fulfillment of prophecies.
The passage describes angels appearing to Mary and Elizabeth to announce that they will give birth, despite being old or a virgin. Mary is troubled by Gabriel's greeting but told she has found favor with God and will conceive Jesus. When Mary visits her relative Elizabeth, Elizabeth affirms Mary has been blessed and the babies rejoice in each other's presence. The births are part of God fulfilling his promises.

(1) The document provides an overview of the Gospel of Luke, including the prologue which states the purpose for writing and summaries of key passages about Zechariah, Mary, and Jesus at age 12 in the temple.
(2) It summarizes Luke's introduction where he states his goal to provide an orderly account for Theophilus so that he may know the certainty of what was taught, and passages about angels foretelling the births of John the Baptist to Zechariah and Mary.
(3) It also briefly summarizes the story of a 12-year old Jesus discussing scripture with teachers in the temple, surprising his parents with his understanding.
This document summarizes the biblical accounts of the births of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. It describes how angels foretold that Zacharias and Elizabeth would have a son named John who would prepare the way for the Messiah. It then tells of how the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her she would conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. Mary accepted this despite being a virgin, and gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem, just as Gabriel had prophesied.
Zacharias and his wife Elizabeth were righteous but childless. During his time as a priest, the angel Gabriel appeared to Zacharias and announced that Elizabeth would bear a son named John who would bring joy and prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. Zacharias doubted and was made mute until John's birth. Elizabeth gave birth to John and Zacharias' voice returned, praising God and prophesying about John's role in bringing salvation through the forgiveness of sins by making people aware of the coming Messiah who would bring light to those in darkness.
Mary reflects on God's graciousness in noticing her humble state. She praises God's holy name and mighty works throughout history in scattering the proud, empowering the humble, and keeping his promises to Israel from Abraham's descendants onward. God's mercy, power, and faithfulness are recounted from generation to generation.
Mary responds to Elizabeth with a song praising God for choosing her to bear His son. She says God has shown strength with His arm by lifting up the humble and bringing down the proud. He has filled the hungry but sent the rich away empty, and has been merciful to Israel as He promised to Abraham.
The document discusses several passages from the Gospel of Luke that refer to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It raises questions about whether these passages support the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, noting times when only God or Jesus are mentioned without reference to the other persons, or when their roles seem distinct rather than co-equal. The document aims to show that the Gospel of Luke does not clearly teach the Trinity as it is traditionally understood.
Advent + christmas, time of hope and peace (2 edit)Martin M Flynn
The document discusses the themes of Advent and Christmas, including hope, peace, and preparation. It provides historical context for the celebration of Christ's birth and the Advent season as a time to remember Christ's first coming as an infant, live in the present with his spiritual presence, and prepare for his second coming. Key figures mentioned are Mary, Joseph, John the Baptist, the prophets Isaiah, Micah and others who foretold Christ's coming. Traditions like the Advent wreath and meanings behind its elements are explained. Pope Benedict XVI's perspectives on Advent as a time of prayer, conversion and making Christ's presence known in the world are presented.
- Gabriel was sent by God to Nazareth to tell Mary she would conceive Jesus. Mary was confused but submitted to God's plan.
- Angels also announced Jesus' birth to shepherds and were joined by a multitude singing praise to God.
- Angels play an important role as God's messengers and in protecting believers, but are not to be worshipped as they worship God.
This document appears to be a summary of passages from the Bible describing the births of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. It recounts stories such as an angel telling Zacharias that his wife Elizabeth will bear a son named John, and an angel telling Mary that she will conceive and bear a son named Jesus, who will be the Son of God. The document is divided into multiple sections that summarize passages from the Bible chapter by chapter.

This document describes angels and their roles as described in the Bible. It discusses how angels appeared to prophets and people in the Bible to deliver messages from God, such as announcing the births of Jesus and John the Baptist. It also summarizes that angels worship God, work to carry out his will, and will fight in a heavenly war against Satan to ensure God's victory.
Jesus resurrected from the dead on the first day of the week, Sunday. His disciples and Mary Magdalene discovered his tomb was empty and saw angels who said Jesus had risen. Jesus later appeared to his disciples and others, proving he had been resurrected with a glorified, physical body. His resurrection ensures that all who believe in him will also be resurrected to eternal life. Jesus then ascended to heaven and will one day return in the same way.
The document discusses Jesus' crucifixion according to the Gospels of Mark and Matthew. It describes how Jesus was betrayed by Judas, arrested, and brought before the high priest and Pontius Pilate. Though found innocent, he was sentenced to death by crucifixion due to the urging of the high priests who were envious of him. While on the cross, Jesus endured great physical suffering and cried out feeling abandoned by God. With his final words "It is finished," he gave up his spirit, and with his death the veil of the temple was torn signifying access to God.
- Jesus knew that Judas would betray him, as it was foretold in scripture. At the last supper, Jesus troubled by what would happen, told the disciples one of them would betray him. He identified Judas by giving him a piece of bread dipped in broth. After receiving the bread, Satan entered Judas and he went out to betray Jesus to the chief priests. Though Jesus loved Judas, his betrayal was part of God's plan to fulfill scripture and bring about salvation for mankind.
The document discusses Jesus' ministry according to the Gospel of Matthew. It notes that Jesus began his public ministry after being tempted, and mentions John the Baptist being imprisoned. It then summarizes Jesus moving to Capernaum and preaching there, fulfilling a prophecy about Galilee. Jesus preached that people should repent, as the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The document asks several questions about Jesus' message and ministry, including his healing of a paralytic and calling of Levi.
The document describes Jesus's birth and early life as recounted in the gospels of Luke and Matthew. It discusses his conception by the Holy Spirit, birth in Bethlehem, presentation at the temple where Simeon and Anna recognize him as the Messiah, and childhood spent in Nazareth. When Jesus is 12 years old, he lingers in the temple discussing scripture with religious teachers, astonishing them with his wisdom. Mary and Joseph are anxious to find him after assuming he was with their caravan, but Jesus says he must be about his "Father's business," revealing his identity as the Son of God.
The document provides historical context leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ. It discusses how Israel was taken into captivity due to disobedience, and God's faithfulness in bringing them back according to his promises. It outlines the political landscape under Persian and Greek rule, and the various religious groups that emerged like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Samaritans. The document then discusses the Roman conquest and their governance over Judea through a puppet king Herod. The Jewish people were awaiting the coming of the Messiah to restore David's throne, fulfilling prophecies that the deliverer was coming.
God instructed Moses to build a sanctuary called the tabernacle so that God could dwell among the Israelites. The tabernacle consisted of an outer sanctuary and an inner most holy place separated by a veil. Only the high priest could enter the most holy place once a year on Yom Kippur with blood sacrifices to atone for sins. The tabernacle and its furnishings, including the ark of the covenant, were built according to God's precise instructions. The tabernacle services involved animal sacrifices on the altar, which pointed to the need for blood atonement but did not ultimately take away sins.
For some they were plagues; for others just wonders

The document discusses God's calling of Abram and the promises He made to him. It notes that God called Abram to leave his country and family and go to a new land, promising to make him a great nation and bless all people through him. Abram obeyed God and traveled to Canaan with his wife Sarai, nephew Lot, and possessions. God appeared to Abram, reiterated His promise of the land, and Abram built altars in response. The document examines Abram's faith and trust in God's promises despite uncertainties about having descendants, given his and Sarai's age.
The futile intent of men to make a reputation for themselves and enter eternity.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. - What was God’s promise
to humankind?
Genesis 3:15
- Who was the seed
of the woman?
- Has He come yet?
- What did God reveal to the last prophet
before the years of silence?
3. Malachi 3:1
“Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare
the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek,
will suddenly come to His temple, even the
Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight.
Behold, He is coming,” Says the LORD of hosts.
4. - Who is coming?
- Who is he announcing?
- Is it the seed?
- Is it God himself?
(before Me)
- Who is the messenger?
5. Luke 1:5-25
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a
certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of
Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her
name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous
before God, walking in all the commandments and
ordinances of the Lord blameless. But they had no
child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were
both well advanced in years. So it was, that while he
was serving as priest before God in the order of his
division, according to the custom of the priesthood, his
lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple
of the Lord.
6. Luke 1:5-25
And the whole multitude of the people was praying
outside at the hour of incense. Then an angel of the
Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the
altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was
troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to
him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is
heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and
you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and
gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will
be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither
wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the
Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
7. Luke 1:5-25
And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the
Lord their God. He will also go before Him in the spirit
and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers
to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of
the just, to make ready a people prepared for the
Lord.” And Zacharias said to the angel, “How shall I
know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well
advanced in years.” And the angel answered and said
to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of
God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these
glad tidings. But behold, you will be mute and not able
to speak until the day these things take place,
8. Luke 1:5-25
because you did not believe my words which will be
fulfilled in their own time.” And the people waited for
Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the
temple. But when he came out, he could not speak to
them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in
the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained
speechless. So it was, as soon as the days of his service
were completed, that he departed to his own house.
Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and
she hid herself five months, saying, “Thus the Lord has
dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to
take away my reproach among people.”
9. - What is the name of the Angel?
- In whose name is he talking?
- What happened to Zacharias for doubting?
10. - What should we learn from him?
- Are there consequences for doubting God?
- Can God lie or deceive us?
11. Luke 1:26-31
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by
God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin
betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And
having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly
favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you
among women!” But when she saw him, she was
troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of
greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be
afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And
behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth
a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.

13. - What did Mary find before God?
Grace
- How do we please God?
With Faith
- Why did God choose her?
From the house of David
14. - Is God fulfilling His promise?
- How long did it take Him?
4000 years
- Is God in a hurry?
15. Luke 1:32-33
He will be great, and will be called the Son of
the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the
throne of His father David. And He will reign
over the house of Jacob forever, and of His
kingdom there will be no end.”
16. - What does it mean to be great?
- Does it refer to the power given unto him?
- Who is the Highest? Is it God?
17. Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder. And
His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of
the increase of His government and peace there will
be no end, upon the throne of David and over His
kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment
and justice from that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
18. - For whom is the promise?
- What was the promise?
A child
- Who were those names given to?
- Can anyone hold all those noble titles?
- Over which throne is He going to reign and for how long?
- Is there a relation with the promise made to David?
19. Luke 1:34-35
Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be,
since I do not know a man?”
And the angel answered and said to her, “The
Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of
the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also,
that Holy One who is to be born will be called the
Son of God.
20. - Did Mary doubt by asking?
- How could she become pregnant?
- Who worked in Mary?
21. - The Holy Spirit, the Highest (Father) and the Son of
God are the same who created man in the beginning?
- What are they doing with Mary?
22. - Why they didn’t use a human father?
- Is there anyone without sin?
- How can the child be Holy?
23. - Who is his father?
- Is God fulfilling the promise given to Adam?
Genesis 3:15
- Is this child the seed of God?
24. John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God. All things were made through
Him, and without Him nothing was made that was
made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of
men.
25. John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
26. - Who is the word?
- Can we see the word? Can we see the spirit?
- How it was this word becomes flesh?
- Did God take on human form?
27. - From whom do we take
our blood heritage?
- Our fathers?
- Who was Jesus father?
- Why did God choose Mary?
- Wasn’t she born in sin
like everyone else?
- Why is Jesus Holy?
28. Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the
world, and death through sin, and thus death spread
to all men, because all sinned.
30. Luke 1:36-38
Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived
a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for
her who was called barren. For with God nothing will
be impossible.” Then Mary said, “Behold the
maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to
your word.” And the angel departed from her.
31. - Why did the angel tell Mary about Elizabeth?
- Was he encouraging Mary’s faith?
- How did Mary respond? Did she doubt?
- Had God the right to work in Mary’s life?
- Did Mary subject her will to Gods?
32. Luke 1:57-64
Now Elizabeth’s full time came for her to be
delivered, and she brought forth a son. When her
neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had
shown great mercy to her, they rejoiced with her. So
it was, on the eighth day, that they came to
circumcise the child; and they would have called
him by the name of his father, Zacharias. His mother
answered and said, “No; he shall be called John.”
33. Luke 1:57-64
But they said to her, “There is no one among your
relatives who is called by this name.” So they made
signs to his father—what he would have him called.
And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying,
“His name is John.” So they all marveled.
Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue
loosed, and he spoke, praising God.
34. - Was the word of the angel fulfilled?
- Is this boy the messenger that God promised 400 years ago?
- What did Zacharias say after this?
35. Luke 1:67-71
Now his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy
Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
“Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited
and redeemed His people, and has raised up a horn
of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
as He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, who
have been since the world began, that we should be
saved from our enemies and from the hand of all
who hate us,
36. - Was Zacharias speaking for himself?
- Is prophesying speaking the word given by God?
37. Luke 1:72-76
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers and
to remember His holy covenant, the oath which He
swore to our father Abraham: To grant us that we,
being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve Him without fear, in holiness and
righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
“And you, child, will be called the prophet of the
Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord
to prepare His ways,
38. - What was Zacharias talking about?
- Which oath is he referring to?
39. Genesis 22:16-18
“By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because
you have done this thing, and have not withheld
your son, your only son— blessing I will bless you,
and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as
the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on
the seashore; and your descendants shall possess
the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the
nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you
have obeyed My voice.”
40. - Who was the promised seed
that would bless all the nations?

43. Luke 1:77-79
To give knowledge of salvation to His people by the
remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of
our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has
visited us; To give light to those who sit in darkness
and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the
way of peace.”
44. - Was Israel looking for salvation or deliverance?
- How did they feel about the Roman occupation
of their land?
- Were they waiting for their Messiah?
45. - Did they understand the meaning of salvation?
- Why God remit our sins?
- Is it not by His tender mercy?
- How was John raised?
46. Luke 1:80
So the child grew and became strong in spirit,
and was in the deserts till the day of his
manifestation to Israel.
47. - How do you live
in the dessert?
- Was he getting
prepared in the spirit
for the task given to him?
~
- How did Joseph take
Mary’s news?
48. Matthew 1:18-19
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:
After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
before they came together, she was found with
child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband,
being a just man, and not wanting to make her a
public example, was minded to put her away
secretly.
49. - What would we have done in the same circumstances?
- What did Mary deserve according to the law?
50. Deuteronomy 22:13-14
“If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and
detests her, and charges her with shameful conduct,
and brings a bad name on her, and says, ‘I took this
woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a
virgin,’
51. Deuteronomy 22:20-21
“But if the thing is true, and evidences of virginity are
not found for the young woman, then they shall bring
out the young woman to the door of her father’s
house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death
with stones, because she has done a disgraceful thing
in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house. So you
shall put away the evil from among you.
52. In light of the law,
- What do we observe in Joseph?
- Did he love her?
- Was he a good man?
53. Mark 10:17-18
Now as He was going out on the road, one came
running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good
Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No
one is good but One, that is, God.
54. - Why was Joseph a just man?
- Did he believe God?
55. Romans 4:1-5
What then shall we say that Abraham our father has
found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was
justified by works, he has something to boast about,
but not before God. For what does the Scripture say?
“Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him
for righteousness.” Now to him who works, the wages
are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who
does not work but believes on Him who justifies the
ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
56. - Was Joseph one who
believes God?
- What did Abraham
believe in?
- Was it the seed
promised by God?
- Who justifies the sinners?
- Is it by works or faith?
57. Matthew 1:20-25
But while he thought about these things, behold, an
angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,
“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you
Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of
the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you
shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people
from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the
prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child,
and bear a Son, and they shall call His name
Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
58. Matthew 1:20-25
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the
angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his
wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth
her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS.
59. - What was Joseph thinking?
- Did he know?
- Was he aware of the promise?
- How did God communicate with him?
- Through a dream?
60. - Did Joseph doubt Mary’s story?
- Could he be worthy to be the stepfather of the Messiah?
- Who was this child?
61. Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son,
and shall call His name Immanuel.
62. - What is the meaning of this name? God with us
- What is the relation with the tabernacle?
and shall
call His
name
63. - What is the meaning of the name Jesus?
Savior
- How many Titles bear this child?
Wonderful,
Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace
64. - Did Joseph believe the angel?
- What did he do when he wake up?
- Is obedience a sign of belief?
65. WHAT DID WE LEARN TODAY?
- God announces the fulfillment of His promise to Adam
through the Angel Gabriel.
- To an old and barren woman was born the most important
prophet: John the Baptist.
- There is consequences in doubting the Word of God.
- God’s desire for us is to receive His provision of love
so that we might be saved from the coming judgment.
- Faith is required to believe Him and to receive
the gift of His Grace.
