Description

The Unexpected Jesus, The Truth Behind His Biblical NamesJesus divides history, your birthday is determined by his! But why should that be? This is a man who evokes the widest polarisation of opinion of any historical figure: devotion from some, vitriolic abuse by others and astonishing indifference from many. Today most people just don't know who he really was, or is, or don't care. People still put forward all kinds of ideas about who he was. Books like 'The Da Vinci Code' propose that he was only a man

Jesus divides history, your birthday is determined by his! But why should that be? This is a man who evokes the widest polarisation of opinion of any historical figure: devotion from some, vitriolic abuse by others and astonishing indifference from many. Today most people just don't know who he really was, or is, or don't care. People still put forward all kinds of ideas about who he was. Books like 'The Da Vinci Code' propose that he was only a man (in which case why are his descendants so important?). Many religions have other ideas - everyone has an opinion whether based on fact or fiction. Those for and against have often resorted to name- calling, but in the Bible Jesus was both called by, and gave himself, unusual names. Noted theologian, R. C. Sproul, seeks to enlighten us by investigating what those names actually mean. From there he determines what Jesus set out to do. Jesus is no mere historical figure, he is as important in the 21st century as he was when he walked the earth.

______________

R.C. Sproul (1939–2017) was founder of Ligonier Ministries in Orlando, Florida. He was also first minister of preaching and teaching at Saint Andrew’s Chapel, first president of Reformation Bible College, and executive editor of Tabletalk magazine. His radio program, Renewing Your Mind, is still broadcast daily on hundreds of radio stations around the world and can also be heard online.

______________

'The Unexpected Jesus is a book about Jesus, about how the names and titles closely connected to Him reveal who he is and what he came to do. If you're looking for one book that tells you both about the person and the works of Jesus Christ, this would be a good fit. Especially for new believers. It's not too short, not too long. Twelve just-right chapters: six focusing on WHO Jesus is and six focusing on WHAT he did. Sproul addresses the basics. If you've read the gospels, you've come across these phrases, these titles, these names. Maybe you understood what you read. Maybe you didn't. But Sproul carefully examines them all and presents them clearly. (Son of Man, Son of God, Lamb of God;Messiah or Christ, Lord, Lion, Prophet, Priest, King, etc. The presentation isn't examining these titles or names in isolation or out of context.)

As much as I liked the first half, I think I loved the second half a little bit more. It is a very clear presentation of the gospel.

- The Need for Atonement

- Sin and Redemption

- Christ Our Ransom

- Blessing or Curse?

- Securing Our Faith

- Justification by Faith


It is easy to recommend this one. It does keep it simple--relatively speaking at least. It isn't comprehensive or exhaustive. This isn't the most in-depth treatment of the subject. But it does have a clear focus and it is accessible. It works for me.

Exactly why I expected
I ordered the Amazon Basics disposable white spoons primarily for the office. We have veteran events to inform and educate about veterans benefits. Funding is limited, so I try to save money where possible and these spoons were a great value! They come out to less than 3 cents each and they will last over a year. They are the same quality and feel of the plastic spoons we previously bought at the local grocery store, but due to the larger quantity it is a much better value. I decided to break the big box down into gallon zip lock bags, which made storage easier in my case. This also allowed them to be easier transported and to track usage better. We previously would buy just enough for each event, but that was a hassle with the higher costs and the trips to the grocery store. They are sturdy and hold up to use in thick dips. I would recommend these for anyone trying to save som money and spend less trips to the grocery store.

Great Bulk Pack of Disposable Spoons for Everyday Use
The Amazon Basics Disposable Everyday White Spoons are a very practical and affordable option for parties, offices, events, break rooms, or everyday household use. The large 1000-count pack is especially convenient because it lasts a long time and helps reduce the need for constant restocking. The spoons are lightweight but still sturdy enough for most everyday foods like cereal, yogurt, desserts, soups, and side dishes. They don’t feel overly flimsy for normal use, which is important for disposable utensils. I also like the clean white design because it works well for casual gatherings, parties, school events, picnics, and office lunches. Having such a large quantity on hand is very helpful for busy households or larger events. The spoons are individually easy to grab and separate from the bulk packaging, making storage and use simple and convenient. Overall, this is a reliable and cost-effective bulk pack of disposable spoons that works well for everyday meals, gatherings, and large events.

Bulk spoons finally broke my bad habit
We used to grab those little 20 packs from the grocery store every couple weeks and it felt like I was always running out at the worst time. When I saw this giant box I got pretty stoked and pulled the trigger right away. They are exactly what you would expect from basic disposable spoons. Solid enough for everyday stuff like yogurt, ice cream, or takeout without bending too much. Nothing fancy but they get the job done every time. At about three cents each it feels like a much smarter way to buy them. Now that we have a thousand of them sitting in the pantry I catch myself using them way more often instead of washing silverware for small snacks. This box should easily last us a couple years and I am already glad I do not have to make those annoying little trips anymore.

BIG box of spoons
This is one big box of white plastic spoons. Probably more than you need for home use. I’ll probably end up donating most of these to my kid’s school for the teachers lounge. The spoons are not packaged in smaller boxes or bags inside. The quality is pretty good for “everyday” spoons. Compared to the spoons I get at my local grocery store which feel more like premium plastic ware, these are smaller and made of a softer plastic. I wouldn’t call them flimsy, but they are definitely not as sturdy as the other spoons. As far as value goes, I don’t think you can find a better deal for bulk plastic spoons (currently about $30 for 1000)

Huge box of spoons that actually hold up!
My patience started wearing thin as a result of having to always keep buying spoons due to all the cereal and yogurt that the volunteers have each morning. Finally, I decided to buy these gigantic boxes just to be over with it once and for all. These spoons are surprisingly durable given the extremely low price and the fact that they are just disposable plastic utensils. I tried using one on some dense frozen ice cream yesterday evening, and the handle did not even flex at all, let alone break. This product comes packaged in a fairly frail cardboard box which makes it occupy quite a bit of floor space in the pantry. Nevertheless, I find it completely worthwhile.
