Dear Muslim brothers
Muslim means to submit. I too submit to God through the messiah Jesus.
We are brothers and Allah commands you to follow Him.
3:49 Allah demonstrated His power through Isa. The Koran says that
the lepers were healed, the blind received their sight, and even the
dead were raised to life again.
QUESTION: What is our greatest enemy? Answer: death!
No one overcomes death – but Isa did!
Once again, the Koran has flooded my soul with hope. Isa had the
power to raise the dead – POWER OVER DEATH! This is amazing.
Before, I had thought that death was the strongest enemy in the
54
world. But the Koran says that Isa has been given power over death.
The world has been waiting for a prophet who could conquer our
greatest and final enemy –death!
NOTE: In Surah 10:94 the Koran speaks before Books/Scriptures
(Kitabs) that were before:
And if thou (Mohammed) art in doubt as to what We reveal
unto thee, then question those who have read the Scripture
(that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath
come unto thee. So be not of the waverers.
The Scriptures (Holy books/kitabs) that were before are the
Taurat (Torah), l the Zabur (Psalms) and the Injil (Gospel).
3:50 Isa said that his life verified or confirmed what the prophets
had spoken about him in the ‘Before Kitabs (Holy books).’ The old
prophets spoke much about ‘Isa Masih. When I read the ‘Before
Kitabs,’ I found over three hundred prophecies about ‘Isa spoken by
the prophets. For example this one was written 758 years before the
birth of ‘Isa; it says: “God himself shall give you a sign, ‘Behold a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name,
Emanuel.’ In the original language, the name ‘Emanuel’ means, ‘God
is with us.’”
3:51 Isa said that the Straight Path is to worship Allah alone.
3:52-53 In order to get all of the people of the world to worship Allah
alone, Isa asked for some helpers. A small group of men (the
disciples) came forward and said that they are Muslims and that they
will help Isa.
In addition, they said that they believe in Allah’s
message and the Messenger (Isa) that He sent down (note that not
all translations say, “that He sent down). Down from where?
Obviously, Isa was sent down from heaven. |
