Since the beginning of the new school year in September 2015, Rev Foster has been speaking at two morning assembly meetings each week. His theme for 2015-16 is DV, "Pictures of Christ in the Bible." Moses the eighth picture of Christ What is the means by which a NT preacher is authenticated?? As we look at the wonderful miracles that authenticated the ministry of Moses and the Lord Jesus, it occurred to me that perhaps some you might ask the question: 'How do we tell today if a manis genuinely a servant of God, for there are no miracles taking place?' There is a test, and it is a very old one, which we must use today. Isaiah put the matter like this: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them," Isaiah 8:20. We see this test being used in NT times by the Bereans. "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so," Acts 17:11. John instructs NT Christians how to test men who claim to be God's servants. "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed," 2 John 1:10. The Word of God is the means by which we judge whether a man is genuine or not!
