The Bible and The Authority of Jesus Christ (Lecture)

Date: October 20th, 1997  |  Scripture:  |  Topics: Authority, Bible, Criswell College, Preaching, Translations

The lecture today is entitled The Bible and the Authority of Jesus Christ.

Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
