Released December 16, 2019 by More Than a Song - Michelle Nezat

 

It's hard to adore someone you don't really think about. River Valley Worship reminds us in their song, "Adore You," that "unto us a child is born." This is something Isaiah first foretold, and his words are something worth pondering. Do you know anything about "throne names"? We'll explore Christ's throne names and more on this week's episode. On this week'sĀ episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Meditation Read in context Slow down Repetition Meditating on Scripture through thoughtful reflection and contemplation Reading difficult sections of Scripture to "get it under your belt" Discovering passages of Old Testament Scripture that are Messianic prophesies through discovering their references in the New Testament - Matthew 4:12-17 Our focus area of Scripture - Isaiah 9:1-7 The Son being born - Matthew 1:23 The Son being given - John 3:16 The throne names of Jesus - Bible.org Article An example of a throne name in 2 Samuel 23:1 Meditating on the names of Christ in Isaiah 9:6 Wonderful counselor Mighty God Everlasting Father Prince of Peace The zeal of the Lord that made all of this come to pass Additional Resources Lyrics and chords - Open Network The Glorious Messiah and the Messianic Age (Isaiah 9:1-7) - Bible.org article This Week's Challenge Keep reading in Matthew 1 and 2, Luke 1 and 2, and now add Isaiah 9.

Be sure to read in context, even if it's just to give you the practice to incorporate this habit into your own Bible interactions.
