Partaking of Christ John 6: 51 - 63 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in

Christian Worldview Romans 3:23  John 3 Eph. 2 Matthew 16 Psalm 63 What do we mean by “meaning”? Satisfaction Purpose Significance Romans 12:1-2 Matthew 25 The Parable of the Talents 14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[c] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents,[d] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[e] You have

Now Adam slept with his wife, Eve, and she became pregnant. When the time came, she gave birth to Cain, and she said, "With the LORD's help, I have brought forth a man!" (2) Later she gave birth to a second son and named him Abel. When they grew up, Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a farmer. (3) At harvest time Cain brought to the LORD a gift of his farm produce, (4) while Abel brought several choice lambs from the best of his flock. The LORD accepted Abel and his offering, (5) but he did not accept Cain and his offering. This made Cain very angry and dejected. (6) "Why are you so angry?" the LORD asked him. "Why do you look so dejected? (7) You will be accepted if you respond in the right way. But if you refuse to respond correctly, then watch out! Sin is waiting to attack and destroy you, and you must subdue it." (8) Later Cain suggested to his brother, Abel, "Let's go out into the fields." And while they were there, Cain attacked and killed his brother. Genesis 22 a picture of: A lamb

Theme of the Lamb runs from Genesis to Revelation All of History – one focal point – the cross of Christ – Forgiveness: Forgiveness is our greatest need – God's greatest accomplishment This is what the cross is all about—it provides place for God to forgive This is reflected in Jesus' first words on the cross (see Luke 23:34) The theme of atonement throughout the Bible—Old Testament and New Predicted, anticipated, acknowledged and celebrated Redemption – planned event Revelation 13:8 – from the foundation of the world Luke 24:25-27 – beginning with Moses and all the prophets… Bloodline of the Lamb runs through the Scriptures Spurgeon quote Genesis 3:15 – picture of how God will rescue people from the curse Enmity = conflict, hostility, or a feud The Hebrew word translated as serpent is nachash. Satan is the serpent (see Revelation 12:9) Isaiah and Ezekiel picture of who Satan was originally Isaiah 14:12 – I will 5X – exalt myself, be like the Most High Ezekiel 28:14 – anointed cherub that covers The ongoing
