This encouraging booklet presents in simple fashion the good news about Jesus Christ from the Epistle to the Hebrews. Just as mankind is appointed to live once, die once and be judged, so also Jesus Christ lived one life, died one death and faced God's scrutiny in judgment. Because Jesus lived and died as the representative for all his people, his life and death count for those who trust in him. The outcome of our judgment is therefore certain, for Jesus is already at God's right hand in glory -- and he is our representative!

Looks can be deceiving, I quickly learn, as Earl avoids a tall and picturesque column … [Read more...]
One Life, Death & Judgment
"As It Is Appointed Unto Men... "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many: and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation (Hebrews 9:27-28). What a familiar text -- but how often its chief meaning has escaped notice through sheer familiarity! You live once, die once and are judged once.
