Jesus declared: “ All authority in heaven and on earth is given to me, therefore, go and make disciples of all nations! ” Since then, he has sent his disciples to announce his Lordship and Salvation to the “ uttermost parts of the Earth .” The Era of Salvation commenced with his Death and Resurrection. Therefore, his Life-Giving Good News must be announced to all the peoples of the Earth.

The pastor of a Christian congregation wrote the following on our attitudes toward Israel - “And as you recognize the signs of the times, with the approach of the Lord's return, a line is being drawn in the sand to separate who loves Israel and will stand with the nation and who won't.” So, it seems I could find my name erased from the “ Lamb’s Book of Life ” if I had the wrong opinion regarding the modern state of Israel.

“ Life ” is found in the “ Word ” or ‘ Logos ,’ and this life is the “ Light of Men .” It is “ shining in the darkness .” This “ light ” has become the Living Word of God in the man, Jesus of Nazareth, in whom the glory and life of God are fully manifested. Therefore, this Divine “ Word ” is both life and life-giving - (John 1:1, 1 John 1:5).

Après sa résurrection, Jésus a déclaré: “ Tout pouvoir m'a été donné au ciel et sur la terre, allez donc faire des disciples de toutes les nations! ” Il envoya ensuite ses disciples annoncer sa Seigneurie et son Salut jusqu'aux “ extrémités de la Terre .” L'Ère du Salut a commencé avec sa Mort et sa Résurrection; par conséquent, son message vivifiant doit être annoncé à tous les hommes. Le Fils de Dieu a obtenu le salut pour son peuple !

Jésus apparaît pour la première fois dans l'Évangile de Marc lorsque Jean le baptise dans le Jourdain. Le récit l'identifie à sa ville natale, Nazareth, un village sans conséquence, bien que cette insignifiance joue un rôle dans l'histoire. Il est le “ Serviteur du Seigneur ” oint par l'Esprit qui ne se conforme pas aux attentes populaires concernant le Messie .
