Pictures III

One of the best ways to bring clarity to a written text when the meaning is not crystal clear is through the use of a picture illustration. The response, "e;Oh, now I understand,"e; is often the result of a good picture illustration.It is normal to have questions or to have a certain amount of confusion when reading passages from the Bible. What many people are not aware of is that God has provided us with hundreds of picture illustrations to help clarify what He is saying to us in His Word. God is the master illustrator, and we always come to a deeper understanding of His Word and grow spiritually when we look carefully at the picture illustrations that He has created for us.In the first section of Pictures III, we will examine the pictures that God has provided for us through creation. We will discover that much of what God has created in the physical realm helps us to understand the spiritual realm. We will see how the physical explains the spiritual, how the visible explains the invisible. This section we will call "e;Photo Album I."e;In the second section of the book, we will cover certain biblical principles that are contained in the New Testament. We will then look to the people and events of the Old Testament for picture illustrations that bring clarity to those New Testament doctrines. This section we will call "e;Photo Album II."e;The third section of the book is the most important. We will look at what the New Testament teaches about who Jesus is and about God's plan of salvation for the world. Then we will look to the people and events of the Old Testament for illuminating picture illustrations. We will call this section of the book "e;Photo Album III."e;
