Something for the Christian to think about...

Something for the non-Christian to think about...

Me and Prophete after lunch on Thursday, March 30th. The gorgeous flowers behind us are called "Gae Na Lee" in Korean and one of my students tells me that they don't have an English name...

Prophete Arbouet (from Haiti) is one of our new international students at Handong University this semester. He is a Christian brother seeking to serve God more passionately and he is also a member of "Hasim Bible Study" on Wednesday evenings. It's nice having you here with us, Prophete! God bless!

Me, Sue Lincoln and John (Tae-Shik) Kim after a delightful lunch at the snack bar, Wednesday, March 29th. The flowers around campus (like the cherry blossums in the background) are in full bloom!

Today's Deep Spiritual Trivia Question!

What are the only man-made things we will find in heaven?

The Doctrine of Christ - Eternal Generation

"I will declare the decree of the LORD: The LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." (Psalm 2:7)
When was Jesus "begotten"? Answering this question involves understanding the meaning here of the word day. As God lives beyond time, He cannot be limited to a 24-hour period. This word means an eternal day. Jesus did not become the Son of God at a point in time; rather He has eternally been in the process of being generated as the Son in God's eternal day. There has never been a time when Christ was not the Son of God.
Illustration: On several occasions during His ministry on earth, the sonship of Christ was particularly emphasized-in the Incarnation (Luke 1:35), in the Baptism (Matt. 3:17), and in the Resurrection (Rom. 1:4). These events did not make Christ the Son of God, but only proved that He already was.
Application: As the Christian thinks of the present ministry of Christ, he recognizes this also as an opportunity to appreciate Christ's unique relationship with the Father.
