DeepSummary
The Robertson family discusses the theme of unification running throughout the Bible, from the Tower of Babel incident to Jesus' ministry reconciling Jews and Gentiles. They examine how Paul's letter to the Ephesians unveils this 'mystery' that was hidden for ages - God's plan to unite all things in Christ. They provide numerous examples from the Old Testament prophets foretelling the inclusion of the Gentiles.
Jase highlights how the gospel accounts in the New Testament repeatedly emphasize Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and types. From his virgin birth to healings, teachings, death and resurrection - all pointed to and accomplished what was foretold. The timing of Christ's coming inaugurated the kingdom and revealed God's unified purpose.
The family discusses how Scripture forms a cohesive narrative when viewed through the lens of God's overarching plan of redemption. Just as a child marvels at the creation of a bouncy house, believers can experience renewed awe at God's work of new creation in Christ, uniting all things to himself.
