The future is filled with possibilities both good and evil. There may be some very unpleasant things ahead for you that you can avoid as Jesus taught in Mt 24:20,21. We will examine a very clear example of overcoming the evil decree found in the book of Esther.

The Divinity Of Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 20, 2019

Our recognizing Jesus' divinity is especially associated with recognizing Jesus' "concluding" work of dying for sin and rising to enable eternal life, although the Son of God also helped create the world as well. Recognizing this can help us better pray in Jesus' name.

If Jesus lived from eternity with God the Father, he must be God. As John’s Gospel records, In the beginning was the Word, ...read more
