CHRISTOSCOPE: LOOKING FOR THE BIG PICTURE

Trivia What is a Christoscope? In Faithberg's lexicon, a Christoscope is a precision instrument which is a repository of data from hallowed antiquity to timeless eternity. It incorporates the elements of optics (a spiral lens for fine-tuning), spirituality (Urim and Thummim) and scriptural big data (The holy bible). It is useful for discovery and predictive studies. The book of Hebrews started with a very profound reality that is of high import to our faith. In there, we got a peep into the lives of the saints of old, as it relates to how God speaks to them in bits and pieces, leaving them to figure it all out like pieces of a puzzle. But what seemed like a puzzle to them has now been made plain to us. (Hebrews.1:1-2) God was meticulous in revealing his will to humanity piece by piece, so that no one will miss out irrespective of whatever side of the covenant he or she falls, whether old or new. Hebrews 11:40 succinctly articulated this. It all started in the garden of Eden...

THE RENT VEIL: A Sermon review

The Rent Veil, a sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon provides a deep theological exploration of the tearing of the veil in the temple at the moment of Christ’s death (Matthew 27:51). Spurgeon explains that this event holds profound meaning for Christianity, signifying the removal of the separation between God and humanity, ushering in a new era of accessibility to God through Christ. The sermon dives into the Old Testament practice of temple worship, where a thick veil separated the Holy of Holies—God’s earthly dwelling place—from the rest of the temple, allowing only the high priest to enter once a year. The tearing of the veil, according to Spurgeon, marks the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the end of the sacrificial system. Spurgeon points out that the death of Jesus is a marvel of time and eternity. Using the imagery of Aaron's rod turned serpent which swallowed the magicians', he described this miracle as one which outshines every other power mira...

TWO SIDES OF AN ART!

Creativity is one of the hallmarks of God’s nature, and being made in His image, humans too have been endowed with the ability to create. Throughout Scripture, we see examples of how God uses human creativity to achieve His purposes. Yet, like any gift, creativity can be both a blessing and a stumbling block, depending on how it is deployed. One of the clearest illustrations of this dual nature is the story of the Nehushtan—a bronze serpent that began as a symbol of salvation but later became an object of idolatry. In the book of Exodus, we encounter two men, Bezaleel and Oholiab, whom God called and empowered for a specific purpose: to design and craft the articles of the Tabernacle (Exodus 31:1-6). These men were not only skilled artisans but were filled with the Spirit of God, giving them the wisdom, understanding, and knowledge needed to create items that reflected the divine nature. The Tabernacle, with its intricate designs and sacred objects, was a space where God’s ...
