Hello friends, I am Pastor Calvin Lindstrom with Christian Liberty Academy School System. Welcome to There's No Place Like Home. Last time I discussed an overview of scripture and God's plan of redemption in terms of 14 C sounds, an expansion of the seven C's of history developed by Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis. I want to review this overview and focus on a few of the points whose significance might not be as obvious. So let's review and expand. Of course, we begin with creation, Genesis 1. Corruption, the fall of Adam and Eve, Genesis 3. Catastrophe, Noah's flood, Genesis 6-9. Confusion, the Tower of Babel, Genesis 11. Covenant, that includes God's calling and the covenant made with Abraham, Genesis 12. And in the account of Genesis, Abraham's calling is a new beginning point. The calling of Abraham is a very central part of the story of redemption. It would be through the line of Abraham that the Messiah would come. Circumcision, that's recorded in Genesis 15, the sign of the covenant, and the practice of circumcision would be important for almost 2,000 years, which explains why there was difficulty for some Jews as we move into the time of the New Testament to understand that Gentiles did not have to be circumcised in order to be saved. Commandments, Exodus 20, certainly an important theme is the relationship of law and grace. We could never be saved through our own obedience to the law, but this doesn't mean that God gave his law in vain. Kingship, we have the central chapter in the Old Testament is 2 Samuel 7 and the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 17. the promises given to David and his line, which of course lead to Christ. Captivity, 2 Chronicles 36, the last chapters of Kings also show that God's promised judgment did come, but through all of this, the promise of the Messiah was clarified. We move to Christ, the account in the Gospels. We do not forget the cross, but we also consider the entire ministry of our Lord, his birth, his circumcision, his baptism, his temptation, his entire ministry, and that leads then to the cross. And as we think of the cross, we also rejoice in the empty tomb. The cross and the resurrection must be celebrated together. We then move to the Book of Acts, the coming of the Spirit, the great day of Pentecost, Cornelius, the Holy Spirit coming upon Gentiles, showing the unity of Christ's body, Acts 10, 44-48. Then we look to the return of our Lord, the consummation, Titus 2, 13 and 14, and other passages. Let us teach our children how all of Scripture so beautifully connects together in presenting God's great plan of redemption.
