The Greatest Mystery

Bible in a Year:

• Exodus 12–13
• Matthew 16

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Colossians 1:15 Before I came to faith in Jesus, I’d heard the gospel preached but wrestled with His identity. How could He offer forgiveness for my sins when the Bible says only God can forgive sins? I discovered I wasn’t alone in my struggles after reading J. I. Packer’s Knowing God. Packer suggests that for many unbelievers the “really staggering Christian claim is that Jesus of Nazareth was God made man . . . as truly and fully divine as He was human.” Yet this is the truth that makes salvation possible.

When the apostle Paul refers to Christ as “the image of the invisible God,” he’s saying Jesus is completely and perfectly God—Creator and Sustainer of all things in heaven and earth‒but also fully human (Colossians 1:15–17). Because of this truth, we can be confident that through Christ’s death and resurrection, He’s not only carried the consequences for our sins but has also redeemed human nature, so that we—and all of creation—can be reconciled to God (vv. 20–22).

In an amazing, initiating act of love, God the Father reveals Himself in and through Scripture by the power of God the Holy Spirit and through the life of God the Son. Those who believe in Jesus are saved because He is Emmanuel—God with us. Hallelujah!

By: Xochitl Dixon

Reflect & Pray

When have you wrestled with your understanding of Jesus? What was the result?

Loving God, thank You for revealing Yourself and reconciling us through Jesus.

[Repeal The 17th]

Those were great days for music!
Bless you for all that you do.

Their first hit. Late summer 1964.

My favorite by tonight's featured group. Notice that some of the girl's names mentioned--Lucille, Gloria and Maybelline--are featured in popular songs of the time.

I thought you were going to link to “Bernadette.”

[DoodleBob]

Hello Kathy!

I was at Live Aid 1985 in Philadelphia...a few years ago I became reacquainted with The Four Tops' set that day. In a word....WOW! Here is their short but powerful set. God bless The Four Tops.

[Fiji Hill]

Here's a solid rocker,

Kiss Me, Baby--The Four Tops (1956)

And again....IT’S A TIE!!!
WTG, boys...good job. The boss walked over for a short chat before I could hit POST.

[Repeal The 17th]

Lordy, they had some great songs...

Good evening, Publius, and thank you for Rachmaninov’s “The Star Spangled Banner”.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

RICHARD RODGERS

CAROUSEL

Following the success of “Oklahoma,” Richard and Oscar sought to duplicate their success knowing they had a tough hill to climb. Richard had already adapted one Hungarian play with Larry Hart, but now they attempted to adapt “Lilliom” by Ferenc Molnar. The problem with that 1909 play is that the protagonist dies in the second act. After acquiring the rights, the team created lengthy sequences of music that made the ending more hopeful. The 1945 musical was a massive success, and Richard thought it contained his best work.

”CAROUSEL WALTZ”

Although it doesn’t properly belong to the songbook, this overture to the musical is an astonishing piece, showing just how skillful Richard was as a writer of melody. Johann Strauss, both elder and younger, could not have topped this.

Jonathan Tunick: “Carousel Waltz”

[PROCON]

Oh yeah, the Four Tops made some great music!

So glad I grew-up in that phenomenal music era!

[Publius]

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

RICHARD RODGERS

CAROUSEL: ”IF I LOVED YOU”

This is a kinescope from a 1954 TV broadcast where the two original stars recreate their Broadway roles from nine years earlier. Jan would go on to become the mother in TV’s “Lassie.” John would go on to create Bonnie Raitt, who would eclipse her father’s fame.

John Raitt & Jan Clayton: “If I Loved You”

Some excellent music that I have not heard in 30 years.

It brought back some really good memories.

Thanks.
