The poster presents the silhouette of a figure, God. In the books of Jonah, Habakkuk, Zephaniah and Nahum, 4 main characteristics of God surface: God’s love, mercy, forgiveness and justice. The galaxy set against the silhouette conveys God’s mystery and the magnitude of His love, for God and who He is cannot be simply described with a few words. In the book of Jonah, God’s attributes of love and mercy shown in His act of forgiveness are conveyed by the drawing of the whale. The drawings of the fallen cities attempt to depict God’s justice in His own time on the sinful cities in the books of Habakkuk, Zephaniah and Nahum. The poster thus shows God’s attributes of love and mercy manifest in His acts of forgiveness and justice.
How do people in modern times comprehend the messages of the Old Testament prophets?
How should we share about who God is or what He is like?
The prophets conveyed God’s words. They obeyed when they were sent; they made sacrifices and remained committed to their mission of relaying God’s words to God’s intended audience and people after them.
Christians of our times should likewise do the same: spread and share God’s words so that the world may know, believe and trust in God.
此次设计描绘了上帝的剪影。在约拿书,哈巴谷书,西番雅书和拿鸿书中,浮现了神的四个主要特征:怜悯,慈爱,宽恕和公义。
因此,鲸鱼,星系和堕落城市的插图展示了这些书的特征。银河系主要是上帝的广阔,以这种方式代表了祂对人的爱。约拿书中的鲸鱼代表了上帝的宽恕。最后,堕落的城市代表了上帝如何将公义晓谕于哈巴谷,西番雅和那鸿。上帝的宽恕和公义是祂对百姓的怜悯和爱心。因此,怜悯和爱被摆在了神的轮廓上,因为它们是上帝的整体特征。
活在现今时代的人如何理解旧约先知的信息?
当如何传达这位神是谁,是怎样的神?
先知传达神的话~他们奉差遣,顺服,舍己,委身,让后时代的人领受神的话。
活在现今时代的信徒也当奉差遣,顺服,舍己,委身于神的话,将神的话传讲传开,让世人认识这位神,信服,信靠这位神!
