Jesus Unmasked: The Truth Will Shock You by Todd Friel Read Free Book Online Page A

be postmodern about this. You cannot say that this is “true for you but it is not true for me.” That is not an option. Why? Jesus didn’t make it an option when He said that He is “the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).
    The postmodern worldview collapses under Jesus’ exclusive truth claim. It makes no sense to say that His statement is true for some but not for others. If it is someone’s truth that EVERYONE will be judged and either be found guilty or in Christ, that means you are a part of the EVERYONE.
    Nobody is exempt from this scenario. You simply cannot dismiss Jesus’ claim by stating, “That may be true for you, but not for me.” If it is true for me, then you will be included.
    There is no escaping this: the biblical story of Jesus is either false or true.
    Where Is Your Name Written?
    Everything that God has done and is doing in this world is to bring honor to Himself. Humans exist to glorify Him by either receiving His mercy, grace, and lovingkindness, or by receiving His wrath.
    The Bible is a supernatural book that foretold the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ as God’s plan of redemption. The gazillion-dollar question is, will you be punished in a Lake of Fire or be reigning with the Lamb of God?
    Now What?
    What must one do to have their name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? You must do what the men of Israel did in Acts chapter 2 when they heard the preaching of the Apostle Peter.
    â€śMen of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— this Man , delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God , you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.  . . .
    â€śThis Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses .  . . .
    â€śTherefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ — this Jesus whom you crucified.”
    Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do? ” Peter said to them, “ Repent , and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself” (Acts 2:22–39).
    What must you do to be saved? You must repent and put your trust in Jesus. You must turn from your sins and place your faith in Christ as if your life depended on it, because it does.
    If you are already a follower of the Lamb, you have much to look forward to.
    If you have not repented, what are you waiting for? Why would you delay?
    Congratulations!
    You just rocketed through four thousand years of human history in two chapters. Well done! Now that we have taken a high-altitude look at the entire Bible, let’s touch down throughout the Old Testament to see more types and shadows of Jesus.
    As we make our way through the Old Testament, you are going to see three things.
    1.Lots of types and shadows of Jesus.
    2.The timeline of the Old Testament. You will have a clear understanding of the order of biblical history.
    3.Explanations for why the world works the way it does.
    Where shall we begin? The beginning is a very nice place to start.
    Chapter Six — Jesus Is the Ark

    It sure didn’t take long for humans to make a hash of things. God created a perfectly perfect earth, Adam and Eve sinned, and the next thing you know, the world is the Lord of the Flies .
