The Ark, A Type
of Christ - Genesis 6:1-14: Noah's Ark is a wonderful story for
children. We love to read about the animals that went in two by
two and by sevens, but many times we miss out on seeing Jesus Christ in
the ark.
-
Christ a Branch: In the scriptures, Jesus Christ is called the Branch.
We are to understand His human nature as intended. As such, concerning the
flesh, he proceeded from Abraham, Jesse and David.
-
Christ a
Bridegroom:
A Bridegroom presupposes two things. First, a person
in a single capacity; and as so considered, he is a
suitor. Secondly, a person in a married estate; and
as so considered, he is a head or husband. In both
these respects Christ may be considered, and is held
forth in the word of God. -
Christ a Door - John
10:9:
What can we learn from the statement of Christ, "I am the door"?
-
Christ the Express
Image of the Father - Hebrews 1:3: How can we know God? Are there multiple
ways to get to God? What does the Bible mean when it says
that Christ is the express image of the Father?
-
Christ A Fountain:
Among the many
things Christ is compared to in the holy scripture, to set forth his
transcendent excellency, beauty, usefulness, and perfections, this of a
Fountain is none of the least, it being a most profitable metaphor.
-
Christ a Garment
for Sanctification:
Garments are for the
covering of the body. They hide nakedness and deformity. The Lord Jesus
Christ is a cover for the soul, every man’s nakedness and deformity appears
that hath not on this spiritual Garment.
- Christ the
Head:
The Son of God is very often in the
holy scriptures called an Head.
He is the Head of the body, the
church, which alludes to a natural Head.
-
Christ a King:
There is no higher name or title to set forth
dignity amongst men, than kings or mighty potentates. There is nothing
doth more fully set forth the glory, power, and splendor of Christ than
this.
-
Christ as a Lamb
- John 1:36:
Several times in the scriptures Christ is compared to a lamb. What
could this teach us about the person of Jesus Christ?
-
Christ the Lily of the Valley - Song of Solomon 2:1: We often
hear about the fact that Christ is the "lily of the valley" but what
does that mean in the practical sense?
-
Christ a Mediator -
1Timothy 2:5: God and
man are at odds. According to the scriptures a man in his
lost condition is an enemy of God. It is this very fact
that calls for a Mediator. What is a mediator and how does
Jesus Christ fulfill this role?
-
Christ a
Physician:
Christ cures all that come to him, whatsoever the
distemper be, he hath an universal medicine, with
which he infallibly cures all sicknesses, diseases,
and wounds of the soul. -
Christ a
Priest: One of the greatest blessings of being
saved is having Jesus Christ as your High Priest. No
longer must you go to a man to confess your sins and
ask forgiveness, but you can approach the throne of
grace with boldness through the shed blood of our
High Priest.
-
Christ a Rock:
The scripture compares our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ to a rock. The scripture also declares that
our Rock is not as their rock. What can we learn
from these truths? -

Rose of Sharon -
Song of Solomon 2:1:
The Lord Jesus elegantly
expresseth his own excellency, by comparing himself unto a Rose, the Rose of
Sharon. -
Christ
- The Servant of God - Isaiah 42:1; 49:6:
A Servant is one
chosen to office. If men have work or business to do, they choose one to
be their servant, whom they think fitly qualified, and able to do it.
Christ was chosen by the Father. Not to one office only, but to many. To
be a Mediator, King, Priest and Prophet. -
Christ a Shepherd - John 10:11:
What can we learn about our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ from looking
at the duties and character of a Shepherd?
-
Christ a
Testator - Hebrews 9:16: The death of the Testator has put His
will and testament into effect. In what ways is Christ a Testator?
Great blessings have been left to His people? Are you experiencing
those blessings?
Christ
the True Manna - John 6:50:
Christ, and the graces of Christ, are called Manna.
Manna means to prepare, because it was food prepared
from heaven for the Israelites in the wilderness.
Christ the Way - John 14:6:
Way is a common word
or phrase, taken for the chief means and medium for the attainment or
accomplishment of a thing, and so is very comprehensive. Here man is the
subject, God or happiness the end, Christ the Way.
