The LION & The LAMB

 

Why Bible starts with God mightily like a lion and end humbly like a sheep?

 

The Bible begins with Genesis, where God exhibits His power and authority in the grand act of creation, showcasing His mighty and sovereign nature, the same as a lion. This demonstrates His supreme power and rule over the universe.

 

It ends with Revelation, where Jesus Christ, who is often symbolised as the Lamb of God, represents humility, sacrifice, and the ultimate act of redemptive love. The portrayal of Jesus as a lamb highlights the fulfilment of God's plan through kindness and humility.

 

Thus, the arc from God's mighty creation to the humble sacrifice of Jesus encapsulates the full spectrum of His character and His plan for humanity—from creation and authority to redemption and sacrificial love.

Jesus Christ's Mission and English Grammar - ...not only Matthew 15:24 ...but also John 3:16

  How is not only… but also… a correlative conjunction in English grammar related to Jesus Christ and his mission?   The phrase “not only… but also…” is a correlative conjunction . It pairs two elements in a sentence to emphasize their equal importance.

In the Bible, Jesus’ mission is multifaceted. While Matthew 15:24 records Him saying, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel,” it’s essential to consider other passages too. John 3:16 emphasizes God’s love for the entire world, not j
