The guys at Reformed Forum discuss the Creation Covenant with Dr. Roland S. Ward.
The Gospels are full of allusions to and echoes of previous revelation. And the Gospels set the stage for further revelation which will explain both the redemptive acts and words of Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:26; 16:13-15).
“In an equally scandalous way, we are now commissioned as co-redeemers.”
“There is not one syllable of positive teaching by the Lord Jesus peculiar to the Sabbath in any Gospel passage.” – Tom Wells
The Father is getting glory for himself through what he does through his beloved Son.
History is going somewhere and Christ is no passive by-stander.
The inter-advental period is a mixed epoch of history where two worlds exist at the same time.
Christ as the eternal Son of God and as the theanthropic Mediator occupies an office of headship over all things in heaven and upon earth and over the old and new creations.
Surely the headship of the last Adam constitutes him a much greater Adam than the first man was!
The resurrection of Christ insures an immutable status of sonship for those in Christ.
