Christ of the Creation Days: How the Creation Days Typologically Picture the Covenants

About this ebook
Christ of the Creation Days
by Greg Girard
I have long been fascinated by the great types of Scripture: not clever connections invented by over ingenious preachers, but the patterns that underlie the way God repeatedly works both in the people and the events of the Bible. Some of them are quite explicit. Others you dont see till they are pointed out to you, and then you wonder how you could have missed them. The more we see one part of Scripture underlining another, in what I think of as the repeat of patterns, the greater its integrity is seen to be, and the clearer its message.
Greg Girard opens our eyes to a set of correspondences that could not be more basic to the biblical revelation of God. Should it surprise us that the sequence of his creative action in the making of the world should be the same shape as the sequence of his redemptive action in revealing himself to his people? Yet I for one had never made the connection. The creation of light, the separation of land and sea, the stars of heaven, the man appointed to rule all that lives-of course these images reappear elsewhere; but had you noticed where, and at what crucial points in the Bible story? The author deserves our thanks for this illuminating and inspiring study.

Gregory J. Girard
Gregory Girard has been a pastor for almost 30 years, and presently works as a Chaplain for the Canadian Forces. A passionate preacher of the Gospel, he is well known for using Old Testament typologies that point to Christ, especially from the opening chapters of Genesis. Here he shares perhaps the crowning typology in all the Bible; the c reation days. In this book you will share his passion for the gospel and the glory of God in Christ. In this book he is devotional, inspirational and most of all, clearly in awe of the wonders of the work of God in Christ.
