Christ Through the Ages

In the Beginning

Jesus Christ; the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.—Hebrews 13:8

Unchangeability is but one of the attributes of Jesus Christ. From the time he first appears as the Logos on into the eons of eternity, the purpose of the Son of God remains the same—to completely do the will of his Father, Jehovah God.

It is this quality which makes him so reliable and so completely trustworthy. His promises never fail, his word is steadfast, and his abiding assistance can always be counted on by his footstep followers.

This issue of The Herald takes a closer look at the Son of God—from his origins in the distant “beginning” times of God into the glorious everlasting future guaranteed by his life, death, resurrection, and return.

The Image of the Invisible God deals with the creation of the Logos and introduces the meaning of his name, the “wisdom of God.” The Made Maker looks at his role in the creation of the universe.

Michael, Your Prince shows his role as a guardian over the ancient nation of Israel. He is the unseen defender and guide for the “chosen” descendants of Abraham.

At his first advent we see him most clearly. There he appears as a perfect human being to teach us about his future kingdom and to illustrate it with numerous miracles. It was then that he died as “a ransom for all” and was raised from the dead. His disciples gave Eye-Witness Testimony of his Messianic claims.

His work among his followers from the time of his ascension until now is described in the article Our Advocate. It reviews the oversight the risen Savior gives to his elect bride, his church.

The crowning work of the Son of God is to return and restore both the earth and its inhabitants to the perfection their parents had in the Garden of Eden. Preparations for Eternity explains the realities concealed in picture language within the parables and miracles of the First Advent.

Far Above All Principalities is our regular verse-by-verse Bible study feature. It examines the Old Testament proofs which the apostle Paul adduces in Hebrews, chapter one.

We hope our readers will accept these articles in the spirit in which they are put forward—as a tribute of appreciation to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
