God created the world with words, and all the prophecies of Jesus had to be through words. Everything
was prophesied, in a mystery, but it all led to exactly who Jesus would be. But when the fulness of time
was come, these words came together and formed the seed, that combined with a young virgin (seed of a
woman) became the Son of God, the Word. (John 1:1)
This WORD, Jesus, through his death and resurrection, conquered death and the principalities of
darkness. He restored the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven. We reign with Him as the body of
Christ. And we can reign in this life with him and in the life to come. (Romans 5:17, 21).
This curriculum, Finding Jesus, is designed to do just that. He can be found from Genesis to Revelation.
God created the world by words. He created man in His own image (Genesis 1:28) and man was meant to rule and reign over the earth as part of the kingdom of heaven, or the kingdom of God. When Adam and Eve ate of the tree, sin entered the world. Man lost his right to rule; he had voluntarily turned over his domain to the enemy.
Jesus was always the plan. He was the “lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” (Revelation 13:8) He was the “seed” spoken of by God in Genesis 3:15. The reader follows this “seed” through the Bible, looking and waiting for the One who will come and save the people and restore God’s kingdom on earth.
Throughout scripture we see repeated themes and patterns that all point to Jesus. Words were spoken throughout the centuries prophesying about this “seed,” this Messiah, who would come to save his people. The prophecies were hidden and spoken in mysteries (1 Corinthians 2:6-8) so that the rulers of this world would not be able to prevent His coming.
Victorious Light agrees with the Apostles' Creed, a unifying statement of faith for the early church which summarizes the core beliefs of Christianity.
*Christian: the ancient text reads “catholic” meaning the whole church as it confesses the wholeness of Christian doctrine.
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church*,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.
We want to direct people to the Word of God, because it is the ultimate source to understanding God.
