Teaching Through The NT Effectively With A Bible History Timeline
In our weekly Bible group some years ago, somebody, who had been a Christian and been involved in the Church for many years, said,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not talking about the pre-Moses law) I wonder how many Christians would actually pick up the inaccuracy in this claim. Moses lived five hundred years after Abraham and so it is impossible. I have since then made up a Bible history timeline and shown visually the time period of people and events.
Some time ago, I was speaking on the resurrection, death, burial and life of Jesus Christ, and a retired minister and strong preacher of Scripture, who had been in the ministry for 40 years, came up and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he referred to 1Ti 1:4'Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.' I humbly asked him if I had been teaching anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he replied"No". I continued to explain that in the case of that particular verse, it was not referring to exploring Scripture but to the false teachings and philosophy of Gnosticism, but he wouldn't have it. Let me ask, how can a 40 year preacher & laborer in the Gospel, not know and understand about something that probably 1/2 the books of the New Testament relate to?
How could he study and preach the Bible clearly without knowing about something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to comprehend these things and be able to interpret their Bible effectively, if they are not told?
Let's us as teachers and preachers sew together the fragments of God's Word and His plan into a complete picture that our people can draw on for the rest of life, helping them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to model our lives by.
It is not difficult to do, and it is not boring if we are ready to put in a bit of study and prayer and fervor, and just possibly you can make use of a Bible Timeline also.
