#3 In His Image – OT Survey

25 July 2021 By David Trounce Leave a Comment

#3 In His Image - A Survey of Christ in the Old Testament

Like the tabernacle in the wilderness, our world is patterned after a Heavenly blueprint (Exodus 25:40). It provides man with an architectural pattern for his own creative work, his society, his morality and every other sphere of life.

Lock the door and swallow the key- sermo humilis

The perishing of the wicked is no light matter. Hell is what happens when we tell God that we don't want our life to be shaped in His image. It is the final destruction of the slowly decaying image of God in man.
